First record of nests built using domestic dog hair by Todirostrum maculatum (Desmarest, 1806) (Aves: Passeriformes) in central Amazonia
Keywords:
breeding biology, natural history, nests descriptionAbstract
The use of mammalian hair as a nest-building material by Amazonian birds is poorly documented. Here, we describe the use of the hair of a domestic dog as nest-building material by the Spotted Tody-Flycatcher, Todirostrum maculatum. The nesting pair collected the dog hair from the ground to construct their nest. The use of this material appeared to be highly opportunistic.
