Kipa-sinipiibik, Hypothymis azurea oberholseri

Kipa-sinipiibik (10 punkti nime eest!) on energiline ja osav, kui asi puudutab toidu tagaajamist - tal pole probleemi putukatele puude võrades kiirelt järele lennata. Pesa ehitab lind tavaliselt tassikujulisena, kasutades taimseid kiudusid ja ämblikuvõrke ning riputades selle siis puu otsa, peente okste külge. Pesitsusperioodil võivad isaslinnud olla eriti häälekad ning vaatamata oma nunnule välimusele, on need piibikud (😀) väga territoriaalsed ning kaitsevad pesapaiku tuliselt. Foto sai tehtud Taichungi pargis, Taiwanis.

The black-naped monarch is known for its energetic and agile foraging behavior, often seen flitting through the mid-canopy in pursuit of insects. It typically nests in a small cup-shaped structure made of plant fibers and spider webs, suspended from slender branches. During the breeding season, males can be particularly vocal, emitting a series of sharp, high-pitched calls. Despite their delicate appearance, these birds are quite territorial and will defend their nesting sites vigorously. The photo was taken in Taichung park, Taiwan.
