“…To assess the contribution of HAS in providing nesting site for P. philippinus, a survey was made on the type of host trees, location of host trees and the height and diameter of host trees chosen for nesting (Quader 2005;Dutta & Raut 2015). The spatial arrangement pattern of host trees were observed and categorized into three types as follows: (1) Block pattern: The trees were planted together in groups or in square pattern (distance between line to line and plant to plant is the same and plants are at the corner of each successive square (Kumar 2006) as seen in plantations; (2) Row pattern: The trees were planted in single rows or lines along the boundary of homes or HAS; (3) Single pattern: The trees were scattered or were singly placed in HAS.…”

“…(Feare and Mungroo 1989;Soh, et al 2002;Dutta and Raut, 2013). Although in India, the house crow has its mythological importance, the presence of crows is not a nuisance except for a few places where they attack humans (Dutta & Raut 2010). Its population has increased in cities worldwide (Soh et al 2002;Khera et al 2009) in recent years.…”

The population of Indian house crow (Corvus splendens) has increased considerably in cities worldwide. In the recent past, there has been an increase in the population of house crows in the Thar Desert of western Rajasthan, India. A survey of 1004 km was conducted on roads connecting Jaisalmer-Jodhpur–Bikaner and Barmer districts. About 463 house crows were averagely sighted out of which on average, about 161 crows recorded sitting on the roads were feeding on accident-killed animals. The density of crows in the study area was 15.37 crow/sq km. A total of 489 nests were observed during the roadside survey, of which about 69.5% (340) were found on the Acacia tortilis. Almost all nests were located at a height of 20 to 40 ft. The nest height on A. tortilis ranged from 25 to 30 ft only and ranged from 25 to 40 ft on Azadirachta indica. The scenario of the desert has changed owing to developmental activities, which may further facilitate the population growth of crows in this part of the desert.
