dc.description.abstractThe present study was designed to study the population status and breeding biology of Bank Myna (Acridotheres ginginianus) in districts Ludhiana and Sangrur. The study was carried out for twelve months from March 2018 to February 2019 at location I and at location II. House Crow (7.54%) was the most abundant species in the bird community followed by the Red-vented Bulbul (6.90%), Rose-ringed Parakeet (6.58%) and Common Myna (6.57%) at transect I A. Indian Robin (10.10%), Bank Myna (30.07% and 32.67%) was the most abundant species in the bird community at transect I B, I C and I D. Bank Myna (11.10%), Common Myna (11.03%), Rose-ringed Parakeet (12.99%), Rock Pigeon (11.77%) was the most abundant species in the bird community at transect II A, II B, II C and II D. Four nesting sites were observed in transect (I C, I D, II A and II D) out of which two (I C and I D) were located holes in canal bridge and holes in the flyover, other two (II A and II D) both were located holes in the water channels. Clutch size (1-5 eggs), incubation period (17-19 days), albumen, yolk of Bank Myna ranged from 1.50-1.75 gm, 2.65-2.84 gm, 1.49-1.77 gm and 2.62-2.82 gm were noted at both locations. The overall study revealed that holes in flyovers provide safe nesting sites and food offered by people to birds might result in their higher breeding success and also in good abundance.en_US
