2005年5—7月,在甘肃省卓尼县洮河林业局卡车林场对橙翅噪鹛(Garrulax elliotii)的繁殖生态进行了研究。橙翅哚鹛多选择在较小的云杉树上营巢,巢距地面高为1.56±0.38m(n=10),其窝卵数平均为3.4±0.5枚(n=10),卵重为5.8±0.2g(n=17)。橙翅噪鹛孵卵期为14天,育雏期为15天,孵化率为67.6%。
During May to July 2005, we studied the breeding ecology of the Elliot's Laughing thrush (Garrulax elliotii) at Kache Forestry Farm in Zhuoni, Gansu. The birds nested in the small spruce trees with the height of 1.56 ±0.38 m(n = 10). The clutch size is 3.4 ±0.5 (n = 10), with the egg weight of 5.8 ± 0.2 g(n = 17). The length of incubation and nestling period are 14 and 15 days, respectively. The incubation success rate was 67.6% ( n = 34 ) and all 23 nestlings were successfully fledged.
