摘要

撒尿是观鸟者和鸟类学家经常用来吸引鸟类并提供特写镜头的一种模仿警报。然而,尽管在野外广泛使用撒尿,但关于这项技术成功的数据仍然很少。在这里,我们使用一项随机对照试验设计,测试了在南非亚热带稀树草原上撒尿作为鸟类引诱剂的有效性。在12个月的时间里,在30个预选的稀树草原地点随机进行了反复的无声观察和撒尿处理,以测试鸟类群落和单个物种对撒尿的反应。总的来说,与无声观察对照处理相比,在撒尿处理期间记录的个体鸟类明显更多。此外,来自7个雀形目科的11个物种的观察率在撒尿处理期间显著较高。蝇科的知更鸟反应特别灵敏。撒尿确实增加了非洲亚热带稀树草原树栖雀形目的能见度。这一发现证实了这项技术是增加野外鸟类观察的有效工具,并为目前南非观鸟界关于捕鱼伦理的讨论提供了信息。

Pishing does increase visibility of arboreal passerines in an African savanna
Pishing is an imitated alarm call frequently used by birders and ornithologists to attract birds and provide close-up views. However, despite the widespread use of pishing in the field, data on the success of this technique are still scarce. Here we tested the effectiveness of pishing as an attracter of birds in a subtropical savanna in South Africa, using a randomised controlled trial design. Over a period of 12 months, repeated silent observation and pishing treatments were randomly applied across 30 preselected savanna sites to test the response to pishing of both the bird community and individual species. Overall, significantly more individual birds were recorded during the pishing treatment than during the silent observation control treatment. Furthermore, the observation rates of eleven species, from seven passerine families, were significantly higher during pishing treatments. Robins in the Muscicapidae were especially responsive. Pishing does increase visibility of arboreal passerines in African subtropical savanna. This finding confirms that the technique is an effective tool for increasing bird observations in the field and informs current discussions on the ethics of pishing in the South African birding community.
