Lay summaries: The vulnerability of bird species to trophic threat posed by phenological mismatch should be predicted on the basis of nestling’s nutritional and physiological status rather than only on diet observation. The species is vulnerable to such threat when the alternative food is insufficient to satisfy the nutritional requirement of nestlings.
