斯里兰卡啸鸫
斯里兰卡口哨鸫(Arrenga) "Myophonus blighi" (Holdsworth, 1872)
一种很少被看到的鸟类,斯里兰卡口哨鸫(也称为 Arrenga)仅栖息在湿润地区的山地,海拔约在1200至2100米之间。它只生活在自然且未受干扰的森林中。这是一种稀有且非常害羞的鸟类,通常在浓密阴影覆盖的小溪边缘被发现。傍晚时,当雄鸟在灌木间飞动时发出的“srhee.. srhee..”嘶嘶声通常会在看到鸟之前被听到。雌鸟比雄鸟更加胆怯,很少被看到。这些鸟类在黄昏时最为活跃。
雌雄体型大致相同(约20厘米长),但雄鸟的颜色比雌鸟更深。
繁殖季节只有一次,从一月到五月。在此期间,它们会用树根、树枝、树叶和苔藓建造一个大型巢穴,中央有一个深杯状结构。通常会产下最多两枚淡绿色的蛋(30.8 × 21.8 毫米),蛋壳上有淡淡的红褐色斑点,特别是在较宽的一端。
