It's distributed in the mountains of 1000 to 3000 meters altitude.
The habitats are broad-leaved forest and coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest. Often active in groups, on the canopy, pecking insects and fruits, very active
.
The most special is its breeding strategy
Taiwan Yuhina (Yuhina brunneiceps ) is a cooperative breeder
.
Taiwan Yuhina , in order to reduce conflicts among individuals, a cooperative reproduction strategy of nesting, incubating eggs and caring for young birds was adopted to successfully breed more young birds. Taiwan University research team says that of the nearly 10,000 bird species in the world, less than 20 species have this behavior (Joint nesting system)
.
Taiwan Yuhina breeding groups are comprised of one to three socially monogamous pairs, sometimes with one or more unpaired individuals. The members of each cooperative breeding group share the labor of nesting, incubation and provisioning.
.
Joint nesting system
Different females lay eggs in the same nest
.
come and see this so cool bird !!!!!!!
