Breeding pair is a pair of animals which cooperate over time to produce offspring with some form of a bond between the individuals. [1] For example, many birds mate for a breeding season or sometimes for life. They may share some or all of the tasks involved: for example, a breeding pair of birds may split building a nest, incubating the eggs ...
The blackcap has a very large range, and its population in Europe is estimated at 41–65 million breeding pairs. Allowing for birds breeding in Africa and Asia, the total population estimate is between 101 and 161 million individuals. It is therefore classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being of least concern. [1]
For breeding habitat it requires large areas of young jack pine on sandy soil. Kirtland's warblers occur in greatest numbers in large areas that have been clear cut or where a large wildfire has occurred. [13] [26] For breeding they require stands of young (6 to 20 year old, 2–4 m high) jack pine trees. [17]
The waxwings are a group of birds with soft silky plumage and unique red tips to some of the wing feathers. In the Bohemian and cedar waxwings, these tips look like sealing wax and give the group its name. These are arboreal birds of northern forests. They live on insects in summer and berries in winter.

Four apostlebirds (Struthidea cinerea) of a cooperative breeding group.Helpers at the nest is a term used in behavioural ecology and evolutionary biology to describe a social structure in which juveniles and sexually mature adolescents of either one or both sexes remain in association with their parents and help them raise subsequent broods or litters, instead of dispersing and beginning to ...
Arkansas, a major U.S. chicken producer, has reported its first outbreak of lethal avian flu in a commercial poultry flock in a year, as the nation sees an uptick in cases. The disease infected a ...
Cooperative breeding encompasses a wide variety of group structures, from a breeding pair with helpers that are offspring from a previous season, [2] to groups with multiple breeding males and females (polygynandry) and helpers that are the adult offspring of some but not all of the breeders in the group, [3] to groups in which helpers ...
