Abstract :Some intraspecific and interspecific behaviours in Krüper`s Nuthatch insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sitta krueperi); populations were observed in Antalya province, southern Turkey. An account of their endemic distribution in Anatolia on the one hand, and the lack of sufficient data on the other, gave rise to the need for such a study. The breeding behaviour in the populations is observed, particularly in the BÜK insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Lütfi Büyük Yıldırım research forest); and ELMALI Cedar research forests. The results are given in 2 parts as observed behaviours throughout a year and breeding period, which are mating, nesting, brooding, parental care and rearing and territorial behaviours.
