On 5 May 2023, during a routine inspection of nest boxes in orange plantations in Sagunto, Eastern Spain, we found a Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus) egg dumped among nine great tit (Parus major) eggs. From this clutch, six great tits and the Eurasian tree sparrow hatched, and four great tits and the sparrow fledged. Using a video camera inside the nest box, we observed that the nestlings, including the sparrow, were fed only by great tit adults. The adults brought caterpillars, moths and spiders, a typical great tit nestling diet in this habitat. To date, great tit eggs have been found in Eurasian tree sparrow nests, but to our knowledge this is the first report of a Eurasian tree sparrow chick successfully raised by great tits.","PeriodicalId":505287,"journal":{"name":"Arxius de Miscel·lània Zoològica","volume":"10 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140252508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
