- Abstract
Present study was aimed to investigate the efficacy of two bird repellents anthraquonine and methylanthranilate against house crows on wheat seeds and seedlings in caged conditions. Anthraquinone was found significantly more effective than methylanthranilate when repellent treated seeds of wheat were offered to house crows. These repellents did not have any significant results when seedlings of repellent treated wheat seeds were provided to house crows. Birds displayed a perceptible head-shaking and feather ruffling response after a few minutes of treatment exposure and less food consumption was observed.
