Abstract
本文描述1次中杜鵑(Cuculus saturatus)殺死繡眼畫眉(Alcippe morrisonia)巢中雛鳥並將之咬起拋出巢外的事件。該事件於2007年4月10日發生於台灣中部雲林縣林內鄉湖本村的次生林中。據我們所知，這是中杜鵑殺死潛在寄主巢中雛鳥的首次紀錄。
We recorded a Himalayan cuckoo (Cuculus saturatus) killing two grey-cheeked fulvetta nestlings (Alcippe morrisonia), then picking them up in its bill, and tossing them out of the nest. The event occurred in a secondary forest on the hills of Huben Village, Linnei Township, Yunlin County in the central Taiwan on 10 April 2007. To our knowledge, it is the first record of an adult Himalayan cuckoo killing nestlings in a potential host's nest.
