Abstract:
Major insectivorous birds viz., Black Drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus), Jungle babbler (Turdoides striatus), Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis), Rosy starling (Sturnus roseus) and Red vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer) have been recorded in pigeon pea. All birds were found potent predators of pigeon pea pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) by suppression of 61.16% larval population.
