Alimentação de um filhote de bem-te-vi, Pitangus sulphuratus (Linnaeus) (Passeriformes, Tyrannidae), em ambiente urbano

Abstract: ABSTRACT. FEEDING OF A FLEDGLlNG GREAT KISKADEE, PITANGUS SULPHURATUS (LINNAEUS) (PASSERIFORMES, TVRANNIDAE) lN URBAN ENVIRONMENT. The observation ofparents feeding a captive fledgling ofGreatKiskadee revealed that visitation is more frequent in the first hour afier sunrising, with lesser peaks along the day. The diet supplied consisted mainly of insects (Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Oiptera), along with other items as human-made materiais (food scraps, pellets of animal food), lizards (Hemidacty/us m… Show more

“…We found that Great Kiskadees opportunistically preyed on two species of bats, providing further evidence for the opportunistic feeding behavior of Great Kiskadees (Fitzpatrick 1980, Beltzer 1983, Argel‐de‐Oliveira et al 1998, Gabriel and Pizo 2005). Other investigators have provided information about the types of prey captured by Great Kiskadees and either fed to nestlings or consumed by adults, but have not reported bats as prey items (Lago‐Paiva 1996, Argel‐de‐Oliveira et al 1998, Toledo et al 2005, Lopes et al 2005, Moralez‐Silva and Monteiro‐Filho 2008).…”

“…Great Kiskadees ( Pitangus sulphuratus ) are conspicuous tyrant flycatchers that occur widely from Argentina to the southern United States (Dubs 1992, Sick 1997). Among tyrant flycatchers, Great Kiskadees have been reported to be generalists as far as foraging behavior and food habits, feeding on animal and plant material such as invertebrates, fish, tadpoles, reptiles, birds, fruits, and flowers (Höfling and Camargo 1993, Lago‐Paiva 1996, Sick 1997, Argel‐de‐Oliveira et al 1998, Latino and Beltzer 1999, Lopes et al 2005, Moralez‐Silva and Monteiro‐Filho 2008). Stiles and Skutch (1989) and Beltzer (1983) reported that Great Kiskadees preyed on small rodents, but, to our knowledge, bats have never been reported as a prey item.…”

“…The eggs in the feces are ingested by insects, possibly the intermediate hosts, which are the prey of bird hosts in which the parasite completes its development (Anderson 2000). Given these features of the parasite's life cycle, the presence of D. delirae in P. sulphuratus reflects its omnivorous diet under natural conditions, which includes insects (Argel-de-Oliveira et al 1998).…”

“…Pitangus sulphuratus is endemic to the New World, where it is distributed from southern Texas, USA, south-ward as far as Argentina (Sick 1997). This tyrannid has an omnivorous diet, feeding on fruit, invertebrate prey such as arachnids, coleopterans, dipterans, lepidopterans, hymenopterans, and small crustaceans (Argel- de-Oliveira et al 1998), as well as vertebrates, including amphibians and fish (Andrade 1997), and processed human foods.…”

“…Enquanto o consumo de alimentos industrializados está relacionado ao aprendizado, o cuidado parental reflete um comportamento instintivo. Assim, acredita-se que o consumo de alimentos industrializados como pão, salgadinho, pipoca e arroz, implicaria em um processo de aprendizado baseado em tentativa-e-erro maximizado pelo processo de urbanização e aumento da disponibilidade destes itens alimentares [43], corroborando com as evidências de Argel-de-Oliveira et al (1998) [44] para Pitangus sulphuratus.…”
