Summary

Therefore, we suggest that most extra-pair copulations occur at some unknown location, possibly at a feeding or roosting area where females may be able to choose from many more potential extra-pair fathers than at their nest-site.

Methodology

Mist nesting, colour making on breast and behavior observations
