Abstract
Investigations of heat production were carried out in July and January on 6 male goldfinches Carduelis carduelis and 6 male canaries Serinus canaria in a resting 16 hrs unfed state. By a number of previous experiments the birds were familiarized with the investigator and the experimental technique. The experiments have shown that both species have a lower heat production in summer compared with that in winter at the neutral temperature and at 1 °C.
