SIFAT UTAMA DAN FAKTA UNIK | KEY TRAITS AND FUN FACTS

Srigunting jambul-rambut terkenal karena kemampuan vokalnya yang luar biasa. Mereka terampil meniru, meniru panggilan spesies burung lain, mamalia, dan bahkan suara mekanis. Kemampuan mimikri ini melayani beberapa tujuan, termasuk membingungkan pemangsa potensial dan menarik burung lain untuk mengerumuni dan mengusir ancaman. Selama musim kawin, srigunting jambul-rambut membentuk pasangan monogami. Mereka membangun sarang berbentuk cangkir yang terbuat dari ranting, rumput, dan bahan tanaman lainnya, sering ditempatkan di cabang pohon. Betina biasanya bertelur 2-4 butir, yang dierami oleh kedua induknya. Setelah menetas, anak burung dirawat dan diberi makan oleh kedua induknya hingga dewasa.

Hair-crested drongos are well-known for their exceptional vocal abilities. They are skilled mimics, imitating the calls of other bird species, mammals, and even mechanical sounds. This mimicry ability serves several purposes, including confusing potential predators and attracting other birds to mob and drive away threats. During the breeding season, hair-crested drongos form monogamous pairs. They construct cup-shaped nests made of twigs, grass, and other plant materials, often placed in the fork of a tree branch. The female typically lays 2-4 eggs, which are incubated by both parents. After hatching, the chicks are cared for and fed by both parents until they fledge.
