說明/ 普遍留鳥，體型嬌小，全長約12–14 公分，略呈扇形的尾羽就佔了一半，近似鳥種為褐頭鷦鶯。常單獨在草叢間或灌叢中活動，極少飛到空曠處。以昆蟲為主食，也吃種子與果實。繁殖期會站在芒草頂端鳴叫，並作短距離展示性飛行，伴隨雙翅拍打身體兩側，發出「噗– 噗–」的聲音，同時尾羽上下抽動。偶而會站在草莖頂端鳴唱，發出「咩– 咩–」或音調類似「氣死你要賠」（台語）的鳴聲。（洪健智攝）
A common resident bird, small in size, 12-14 cm in length, of which its fan-shaped tail takes up about half. It is similar to the Plain Prinia. Often appearing singly in bushes or shrubs but rarely in open areas, it mainly feeds on seeds and fruits. During the breeding season, it stands on the top of silvergrass and makes short-distance flights, and produces “pu-pu” sounds while flapping its wings against the sides of its body and wagging its tail. Occasionally, it makes “mie-mie” or “chi-si-ni-ai-pei” calls on grass tops. (Photo courtesy of Hong Jian-zhi)
