Regulus regulus (Linnaeus, 1758)

戴菊(学名:Regulus regulus)为戴菊科戴菊属的鸟类。是一種非常小的雀形目鳥類,屬於戴菊科。牠鮮豔的金黃色冠羽,以及在歐洲民間傳說中被稱為「鳥中之王」,這些都賦予了其英文及學名的來源。學名R. regulus意為「小國王」或「王子」。在其廣大的分佈範圍中,確認了多個亞種,包括古北界大部分地區以及馬卡羅尼西亞和冰島的島嶼。來自繁殖範圍北部和東部的鳥類會遷徙到更南方的地區過冬。该物种的模式产地在欧洲。 這種戴菊有綠色的上半身和白色的下半身,並有兩條白色的翼斑。牠的臉部簡單,與黑色虹膜和明亮的頭部冠羽形成對比,雄鳥的冠羽為橙色和黃色,而雌鳥則為黃色,這些特徵在繁殖季節會被展示出來。牠與普通火冠戴菊(Regulus ignicapilla)外觀相似,後者主要也分佈在歐洲,但火冠戴菊有明顯的青銅色肩部和鮮明的臉部花紋。其鳥類鳴唱由重複的高音調組成,比其近親的音調略高。在加那利群島的戴菊現在被分為兩個亞種,但以前被認為是火冠戴菊的亞種或獨立物種Regulus teneriffae。 戴菊在針葉林和花園中繁殖,牠們會在樹枝上建造緊密的三層巢穴。由雌鳥單獨孵化10到12顆鳥蛋,雛鳥由雙親共同餵養;通常會有第二窩。這種戴菊不斷活動,尋找食蟲動物,冬季時經常與山雀群一起出現。牠可能會被猛禽捕食或攜帶寄生蟲,但由於其廣泛的分佈和龐大的族群,牠並未被認為存在任何重大的保護問題。
