This week I have chosen birds which are all,
according to Google, smaller than a breadbox
which are usually about 16 inches wide
by 8 to 9 inches high and deep ,
or 40cm x 20cm x 20cm.
I would have thought the
Northern White Crowned Shrike
was considerably smaller than its
Crimson Breasted cousin.
However, at 19-23 cm long and
tipping the scales between
42 to 58 grams it more than
holds its place with its cousin.
The Crimson Breasted Shrike
is a smaller bird than I remembered it to be.
Measuring 23cm in length and
weighing 40-57 grams it is roughly
the same size as the
Northern White Crowned Shrike.
Bread box: 40cm x 20cm x 20cm
The Kalahari Scrub Robin
measures only 16 cm in length and
weighs between 17 and 23g
Bread box: 40cm x 20cm x 20cm
At 14 cm, or 5.5in, long and weighing
only 8–13 grams (0.28–0.46 oz),
the Superb Fairy Wren
Bread box: 40cm x 20cm x 20cm
