Abstract

The birds both that beneficial and noxious were surveyed in the newly reclaimed and old lands at Sohag Governorate during two successive years (2014/2015 and 2015/2016). 13 beneficial bird species in the studied area. 13 beneficial bird species were found to be: Barn owi, Black winged kite, cattle egret, common bulbul, fantailed warbler, hoopoe, kestrl, little owi, spur winged plover, swallow, and Yellow wagtail, chiffchaff and white wagtail. And 8 noxious bird species in the studied area. The noxious bird species were: crested lark, hooded crow, house sparrow, little green bee, moorhen, palm dove, pied kingfisher and rock dove. The all bird species in the present study were 21 species of to 20 genera, 16 families and 9 orders. INRODUCTION Birds dominated the air and managed to invade a lot of different environments, whether land or water environment, due to the anatomy and morphological structure. As well as birds are from the rest of animals that make the existence of factions in the movement of a permanent and continuous environment to another, but from country to country and to the far left found that breeding and nesting places, and moving to another continent in the so-called migratory birds. For example, white wagtail, Motacilla alba alba bird, who came to Egypt in the winter and spring seasons, (EL-Danasory 2002 and Omar 2005). House sparrow, Passer domesticus niloticus (L.) hooded crow, Corvus corone cornix (L.) and palm dove, Streptopelia senegalensis egyptica (L.) were the resident birds in Egypt during all seasons of the year (Omar, 2010). Agricultural ornithology aims at obtaining scientific information on birds in relation to agriculture and using this information for their management. Most of bird species play a useful role in agriculture by having a potent check on insect and rodent pests. However, some gramnivorous bird species, having adapted to the agricultural habitats and increased in numbers, are conflicting with our

... From these are the House sparrow, passer domesticus niloticus and the hooded crow because they are the most abundance in different Egyption habitats (Kattab, 1998;Wilson, 1993;El-Mallah, 2004;Abd EL-Gawad et al., 2004 andEman 2008). El-Danasory et al., (2017) and Attia (2006) recorded some species belonged to eight orders, Gruiformes, Upupiformes, Falconiformes, Columbiformes, Ciconiformes, Passeriformes, Coraciformes and Cucaliformes as resident bird species. In Assiut Governorate Omar (2005) Surveyed 23 resident bird species and 5 migratory bird species under the different order. ...

About 470 bird species known from Egypt. The majority are non-breeding migrants, passing through the country, exploiting the wide range of habitat types unique for their life, including agricultural habitats. A survey of wild bird carried out in three agricultural districts, El-Badrasheen, El-Aayyat and El-Hawamdiah districts, in Giza Governorate, from March 2018 to February 2020, using the point transect method. Twenty-eight species belonging to nine orders and twenty-five families recorded. House sparrow (passer domesticus niloticus) and Hooded Crow (xuvroc suvurc suvroC) were the only recorded noxious species, damaging wheat and corn crops. House sparrow damage to wheat start after the first week of the panicles emergence causing 21.4 % and 19 % losses, with the highest loss rate of 5.7 and 6.1% during 1 st of April at El-Badrasheen and El-Aayyat districts, respectively. The damage percent were 16.3 and 14.5% to corn by hooded crow in both districts from the 1 st week of August up to the 2 nd week of September and the highest loss rate were 5.4 and 4.2% during the 4 th week of August in the two districts, respectively. It is advisable to apply damage control programs against house sparrow populations at the beginning of February in wheat fields, and against hooded crow populations at the beginning of June in corn fields in these areas.
... Omar (2010) recorded the 11 beneficial and 6 noxious bird species in farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, AL -Azhar University in Assiut governorate during four seasons of the years 2007 & 2008. Desoky and Omar (2015) in farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Sohag University at El-Kawther city, observed that13 noxious and beneficial bird species belonging to the different orders and families. 6 noxious bird species in the studied area (house sparrow, hooded crow, crested lark, palm dove, rock dove and little green bee. ...
