Ovenbirds mainly catch and eat insects as prey on trees, but there are also types that catch and eat crustaceans near the sea. Ovenbirds make kamado on trees from December to February every year. This is done jointly by males and females and is very sturdy. By the way, this kamado is remade every year. We live and breed in this nest. Breeding is oviparous and can lay 1-5 at a time.
Endangered species
Ovenbirds are generally declining in population. Human deforestation is the main reason. In addition, livestock grazing has reduced forest areas. It is difficult to build a sturdy nest, and the area where it can live is decreasing. Furthermore, habitat fragmentation is also rising. It is said that the area where it can live will decrease further in the future, and it has been designated as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. It is said that it will become extinct in the future without active conservation activities.
