Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial [1].
Ecology:
It inhabits forest
growing on the makatea (an encircling, raised
coral
limestone platform), preferring continuous forest canopy, and
is found in highest densities in relatively unaltered tracts, although
it also occurs in mature
secondary forest and forest patches5.
It feeds
on insects, grubs
, cockroaches and spiders, with lizards
forming an important part of the diet4,6. It nests
in tree-cavities (preferring coconut and barringtonia Barringtonia
asiatica). The clutch-size is 2-34,6.
