Abstract
To determine the growth patterns of Oriental Dollarbird Eurystomus orientalis nestlings raised in nest boxes in Tottori Prefecture, southwestern Japan, we measured the body weight and tail feather length during nesting seasons from 2008 to 2012. The results showed that nestling increased the body weight to about 160g, but that weight descreased when final weight was about 120g.
