A fecal sac (also spelled faecal sac) is a mucous membrane, generally white or clear with a dark end, that surrounds the feces of some species of nestling birds. It allows parent birds to more easily remove fecal material from the nest. The nestling usually produces a fecal sac within seconds of being fed; if not, a waiting adult may prod around the youngster's cloaca to stimulate excretion. Young birds of some species adopt specific postures or engage in specific behaviors to signal that they are producing fecal sacs. For example, nestling curve-billed thrashers raise their posteriors in the air, while young cactus wrens shake their bodies. Other species deposit the sacs on the rim of the nest, where they are likely to be seen (and removed) by parent birds.

  • حُويصلة البراز هو غشاء مخاطي أبيض اللون عموما أو شفاف مع طرف داكن، يحيط ببراز بعض أنواع الفراخ. يسمح هذا الغشاء لآباء الطائر إزالة البراز من العش بيسر أكبر. ينتج الفرخ عادة الحُويصلة البرازية خلال ثواني من الفقس؛ إذا لم يحصل هذا، فربما تقوم الطيور البالغة بتحفيز مذرق الطائر الصغير لإخراج البراز. تعتمد الطيور الصغيرة لبعض الأنواع على حالات محددة أو تقوم بسلوكات معينة، في إشارة على إنتاجها لحُويصلات برازية. على سبيل المثال، ففراخ تقوم برفع مؤخراتها في الهواء، في حين تهز صغار نمنمة الصبار أجسادها. تضع الأنواع الأخرى الحُويصلات على حافة العش، لكي يراها أبوي الطائر، ويقوما بإزالتها.

  • El saco fecal es una bolsa mucosa resistente y blanquecina que encierra en su interior las deyecciones de ciertos pollos nidícolas. Las aves adultas se llevan los sacos fecales y los abandonan a varios metros del nido o bien se los comen, lo que mantiene la higiene del nido evitando infecciones en la nidada y también evita que el olor de las heces en las cercanías revele la presencia del nido a los depredadores. Este comportamiento se da principalmente entre los passeriformes y los pícidos. (es)
  • Le sac fécal est une poche muqueuse résistante et blanchâtre renfermant les déjections des oisillons au nid. Les adultes mangent les sacs fécaux ou les transportent et les abandonnent à plusieurs mètres du nid ce qui a pour résultat d'assurer l’hygiène du nid et d’éviter que les déjections à proximité ne révèlent la présence du nid aux prédateurs. Ce comportement s'observe principalement chez les Passeriformes et les Picidae. (fr)

  • A fecal sac (also spelled faecal sac) is a mucous membrane, generally white or clear with a dark end, that surrounds the feces of some species of nestling birds. It allows parent birds to more easily remove fecal material from the nest. The nestling usually produces a fecal sac within seconds of being fed; if not, a waiting adult may prod around the youngster's cloaca to stimulate excretion. Young birds of some species adopt specific postures or engage in specific behaviors to signal that they are producing fecal sacs. For example, nestling curve-billed thrashers raise their posteriors in the air, while young cactus wrens shake their bodies. Other species deposit the sacs on the rim of the nest, where they are likely to be seen (and removed) by parent birds. Not all species generate fecal sacs. They are most prevalent in passerines and their near relatives, which have altricial young that remain in the nest for longer periods. In some species, the fecal sacs of small nestlings are eaten by their parents. In other species, and when nestlings are older, sacs are typically taken some distance from the nest and discarded. Young birds generally stop producing fecal sacs shortly before they fledge. Removal of fecal material helps to improve nest sanitation, which in turn helps to increase the likelihood that nestlings will remain healthy. It also helps to reduce the chance that predators will see it or smell it and thereby find the nest. Experiments on starling nests suggest that bacteria in faeces produce volatile chemicals that may provide cues for predators and ectoparasites such as flies in the genus Carnus. There is evidence that parent birds of some species gain a nutritional benefit from eating the fecal sacs; studies have shown that females – which tend to be more nutritionally stressed than their mates – are far more likely to consume sacs than are males. Even brood parasites such as brown-headed cowbirds, which do not care for their own offspring, have been documented swallowing the fecal sacs of nestlings of their host species. Scientists can use fecal sacs to learn a number of things about individual birds. Examination of the contents of the sac can reveal details of the nestling's diet, and can indicate what contaminants the young bird has been exposed to. The presence of an adult bird carrying a fecal sac is used in bird censuses as an indication of breeding. (en)
