\begin{abstract}
As a result of a warming global climate, understanding how organisms
adjust their behaviour to environmental thermal conditions has become an
increasingly important question in animal biology. Temperature-driven
adjustments in parental care are potentially important due to their
repercussions on offspring size, quality and survival. In 2015 and 2016
we monitored 70 zebra finch (Taeniopygia castanotis) breeding attempts
in the wild. We recorded the frequency of parental visits to the nest
together with mean maximum ambient temperature experienced between day 7
and 14 of the nestling period. We found that for each increase of 1 \selectlanguage{ngerman}°C
in the daytime temperature there was a 1\% reduction in the hourly rate
of parental visits. Our data suggest that nestlings may receive less
food under thermally challenging conditions, which is consistent with
recent studies that demonstrate offspring are smaller when reared during
periods of high temperature. Understanding the behavioural drivers that
may contribute to the production of smaller offspring in the heat could
prove useful to forecast long-term consequences for fitness triggered by
climate change.%
