Subject: Crested Shrike-tit behaviour
Yesterday when we returned to our car on the western side of Lake G.
peninsular, a pair of Crested Shrike-tit was responding to their reflections
in the mirrors and windows. There was little difference between the
behaviour of the male and female except that the female gave way to the male
when he approached. Both birds called, raised their crest and pecked at the
glass. The dark colours on the face of the female was very grey instead of
the usual black.
This may be common behaviour but it is the first time I have seen
shrike-tits respond to their reflections in this way. It continued for 10
minutes before both birds moved into the trees to feed.
