 RBZ 49(2) Abstract
The results show that despite differences in the wing length between these two tailorbird species, their frequency use of different foraging maneuvers did not differ.
The differences in height of the vegetation between the habitat types (mangrove versus rainforest) probably contributed to the differences in tailorbird foraging heights.
However, the foraging maneuvers and substrate used by the Dark-necked Tailorbird were significantly different when compared between different periods (May - September 1997 and December 1997 - March 1998).Therefore, my findings suggest that the foraging behaviour of these tailorbirds may be affected by variables such as season and certain habitat variables.
