Abstract

The present study was carried out to evaluate the correlation between the food and feeding habit of the Demoiselle Crane and epidermal structures  of  the bill and lingua of a species. Investigations were conducted on the five specimens. In India during wintering the Demoiselle Crane feeds upon groundnut, wheat and pearl millet in the harvested crop fields of  Saurashtra. Its epidermal structures of the jaws and tongue are adapted to feed on such food items and helpful in non-visual  tactile foraging  habit  and pecking  feeding technique of  the bird species.

 

KEY WORDS: Demoiselle Crane, Anthropoides virgo, Feeding apparatus, Epidermal structures.
