Abstract
Abstract In Maloti/Drakensberg region, southern Africa, Cape Sparrow locates nests (N=108) mainly in trees (38.9%), shrubs (27.8%) and man-made structures (29.6%). Most occupied trees were exotic (31.6%), while all (27.8%) occupied shrubs were indigenous. A few nests (3.8%) were found in disused weavers’ nests. Nesting sites ranged in height from 1.5 m to 10 m above the ground; on average – 4.2 m (N=52).
在非洲南部Maloti/Drakensberg地区,角雀的巢(N=108)主要分布在树木(38.9%)、灌木(27.8%)和人工结构(29.6%)中。外来乔木占比最高(31.6%),原生灌木占比最高(27.8%)。在废弃的织巢中发现了少数巢(3.8%)。筑巢地点的高度从离地1.5米到10米不等;平均- 4.2 m (N=52)。
