Although data are not grouped by community, the following is a
terrific source for info on body masses of birds of the world:

Dear All,
with a collegue of mine and with the help of prof. nick gotelli we
are currently implementing a null-model based approach to the
analysis of community assembly in order to assess the importance of
individuals size in the structuring of the community itself. To
this end, we need community data sets resolved to the scale of
individual size - e.g., mass, or length. We will acknowledge help
provided in terms of data sets - published and unpublished - from
terrestrial and aquatic environments, vertebrates and invertebrates
assemblages etc. In addition, we will be grateful for any info
regarding data sets made available on the web.
many thanks to anybody!
