Abstract

Results of comparative analysis of food selectivity patterns for two ecologically close hollow-nesting birds—red-breasted flycatcher Ficedula parva (Muscicapidae) and Siberian tit Parus cinctus (Paridae)—according to the way of catching, the place of foraging and the daily activity in nestling feeding are considered.
