RESULTS
Analysis of Diet (gut content analysis, direct focal observation, and analysis of faecal matter) revealed that the prey items consist of 14 pests present on coconut fruites and wheat and maize crops and plantation which include snail’s vertebrates and insects. Insects were 64 percent. It includes leaf-eating caterpillar (Opisina arenosella), larvae of various other insect groups and a major pest of banana, banana stem weevil (Odoiporus longicollis) (Sahayaraj and Kombiah, 2009). Comparison with similar data for Carrion Crows Shows that treepies spend much more time feeding on marginal land, especially rough grassland alongside. It was also apparent that Treepie regularly feed closer to thick cover than do Carrion Crows, and spend more time feeding in long grass and tall cereal crops which is in agreement with our findings. Earwigs that are in abundance on maize crop, one chrysomelid beetle and orthoptera were found to be among the major food items., black-headed munia (Lonchura Malacca) nestlings of squirrel (Funambulus sp.), house rat (Rattus rattus) were among the vertebrate pests and eggs of black-headed munia blue rock pigeon (Columba livia) that is kept in my own house were found. he most accounted invertebrate groups were grasshoppers, earwigs, insect larvae, red palm weevil and cockroach According to direct focal observation method.
