Description wikipedia

The yellow tit (Machlolophus holsti), also known as Taiwan yellow tit and Formosan yellow tit is a species of bird in the family Paridae. It is endemic to central Taiwan. Its natural habitat is montane temperate forest. It has a restricted range and small population, and appears to be declining due to large-scale capture for export by the wild bird trade, so it is classed as Near Threatened by the IUCN. The yellow tit was formerly one of the many species in the genus Parus but was moved to Machlolophus after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2013 showed that the members of the new genus formed a distinct clade. Its length is 13 cm. The yellow tit is mostly yellow, with a crest. The crest and back are blackish blue-grey.

黃山雀(學名:Machlolophus holsti),又名台湾黄山雀、台灣四十雀,俗稱師公鳥,是一種棲息於中低海拔山區的雀鳥。台灣特有種,也是稀有的留鳥。 在溪頭其族群量較多,喜歡棲息於海拔2,000公尺以下之闊葉林,以海拔1,500公尺左右山區較常見,冬季時會遷移至海拔700公尺附近的低山區,甚至出現在森林邊緣之住家大樹上。 黃山雀常與畫眉科小型鳥,或其他山雀科鳥類混群活動,腹部鵝黃色,鳴聲婉轉悅耳,尤其繁殖期鳴聲更響亮。營巢於天然樹洞中,舖以植物纖維、羽毛、苔蘚等為材料,有修補舊巢再使用的情形。 以昆蟲類為主食,植物之漿果、種籽、果實等亦為喜愛的食物之一。
