Abstract

In present living conditions various kinds of stressors are abundant in our environment. Flora and fauna on our planet face psychological, physical, and biological strains. The existing implications of destructive anthropogenic activities affect all organisms including Aves and that formed the base to conduct the study. The behavioral changes observed due to induced conditions of high temperature on the experimental Grey Quails (Coturnix coturnix) included slower breathing, sluggish movements and decreased food consumptions. The changes observed due to changes in temperature in serum protein after electrophoresis showed the absence of certain proteins, whose synthesis were checked when conditions were not favorable. There were also indications of proteins whose synthesis were initiated in unfavorable conditions while some proteins showed enhanced synthesis under conditions of stress. Such kind of study has not been documented in Aves very strongly and so this work has its importance in this aspect
