Dr. M. S. Rao, Ms. Ankita

Abstract :

Breeding performance of the Red–vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer) was studied in Jhunjhunu region, Rajasthan state during March, 2016 to October, 2017. The population of P. cafer was more observed in human habitat region than the non–human habitat region of the study area. Red–vented Bulbul is a common eeder bird in this region. During study period total 24 nests were observed. Breeding period was observed March to October in 2016 and 2017. P. cafer prefers small, leafy and dense bushes for the nesting. It prefers different plant species as a nesting site. It is found that the hatching success was 50 %, nestling success was 33 % and fledging success was 18 %. It is found that in this region the eeding performance of the Red–vented Bulbul was low. Reasons for the low eeding performance are due to predation, food availability, starvation and desert environmental conditions
