Two nests of Bananaquit (Coereba flaveola) were observed in man-made objects in a suburban area of Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic. The nests were located at the base of rustic pendant lights made of metal, placed on a second-floor terrace of an inhabited dwelling. One nest contained three chicks, while the other was empty. An adult made several approaches to the breeding nest to feed the chicks, despite the presence of people nearby. The selection of these nesting sites is probably due to protection against adverse environmental conditions and predators, since both were located under a roof.

在多米尼加共和国的人造物体中筑巢的 Bananaquit（Passeriformes、Thraupidae、Coereba flaveola）的报告

在多米尼加共和国 Jarabacoa 郊区的人造物体中观察到两个 Bananaquit (Coereba flaveola) 巢穴。巢穴位于由金属制成的质朴吊灯的底部，放置在有人居住的住宅的二楼露台上。一个窝里有三只小鸡，而另一个是空的。尽管附近有人，但一个成年人还是多次靠近繁殖巢来喂养小鸡。选择这些筑巢地点可能是为了抵御不利的环境条件和捕食者，因为它们都位于屋顶下。
