English translation:Cavity/hole nesting birds (or cavity nesters)
Explanation:
"The cavity nest is a chamber, typically in living or dead wood, but sometimes in the trunks of tree ferns[59] or large cacti, including saguaro.[59][60] In tropical areas, cavities are sometimes excavated in arboreal insect nests.[61][62] A relatively small number of species, including woodpeckers, trogons, some nuthatches and many barbets, can excavate their own cavities. Far more species—including parrots, tits, bluebirds, most hornbills, some kingfishers, some owls, some ducks and some flycatchers—use natural cavities, or those abandoned by species able to excavate them; they also sometimes usurp cavity nests from their excavating owners. Those species that excavate their own cavities are known as "primary cavity nesters", while those that use natural cavities or those excavated by other species are called "secondary cavity nesters".

Explanation:
Ne misli se na tu vrstu duplje (cave) nego na duplje koje ptice prave u drvetu :) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Woo...

"Kućica za gniježđenje ptica dupljašica zamjena je za prirodnu duplju. U prirodi duplje nastaju na nekoliko načina, najčešće truljenjem unutrašnjosti drveta na mjestu gdje je polomljena grana, ili duplju izrađuju primarne ptice dupljašice - djetlići i žune. Oni tijekom života naprave mnogo duplji za gniježđenje, noćenje i zaštitu od loših vremenskih uvjeta. Kada primarne dupljašice prestanu koristiti te duplje, počinju ih koristiti sekundarne ptice dupljašice (sjenice, brgljezi, čvorci poljski vrapci, vijoglavi, bjelovrate muharice, ćukovi itd.). "

Explanation:
"The cavity nest is a chamber, typically in living or dead wood, but sometimes in the trunks of tree ferns[59] or large cacti, including saguaro.[59][60] In tropical areas, cavities are sometimes excavated in arboreal insect nests.[61][62] A relatively small number of species, including woodpeckers, trogons, some nuthatches and many barbets, can excavate their own cavities.

Those species that excavate their own cavities are known as "primary cavity nesters", while those that use natural cavities or those excavated by other species are called "secondary cavity nesters".

Example sentence(s):
  • Many species of cavity-nesting birds have declined because of habitat reduction
  • As a result, in some areas few nesting sites were left for cavity-nesting birds.
