Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Environmental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

We studied some breeding aspects of the Indian Roller, Common Myna and Black Drongo in Nagapattinam District of Tamil Nadu, India. The breeding activities of these species were recorded between March and August. We present here for the (a) nest tree characteristics, (b) nest characteristics, (c) clutch size, (d) egg dimensions, (e) incubation period, (f) hatching success and (g) fledging success of three species in the study area.
