Abstract
Every year, hundreds of birds have been reported injured and died
across National Capital Territory of Delhi, India, largely due to entanglement
in the kite string. The present report revealed on a case of entanglement of a
dead individual of common myna (Acridotheres tristis) in a tree with a
kite string and conflict between common myna and common crow (Corvus
splendens) for protecting and snatching the carcass. Although, common mynas
are social birds, the incident reveals on a typical social behaviour and
response of the species.
