Although C. gallinae is the most abundant among them, their presence reflects the demands of these species on vegetation and climatic conditions under which our nest material was collected. The remaining bird fleas are such as occur - according to the environmental conditions - in nests located in hollows, in rocks and on the ground (£>. gallinae, 5.1 %).
