Abstract
The wild bird species, cause serious damage to many field crops during both sowing and maturing stages. Wild birds began attacked the wheat crop after the second week of the panicles emergence. The dough stage recorded the highest percentage of damage with 9.19, 8.58 and 7.85 % at fields beside orchard, vegetables and crops respectively. While the lowest damage was recorded in the milky stage. Bird damage on Maize fields increased throughout the weeks after silking and during the development and grains growth till the sixth week, then decreased in the seventh weak with value, 8.45 and 6.52 % respectively, while the lowest value at the second week with 4.57 %. Also there was highly significant difference between weeks. Birds attacked tomato during maturity stage with values 5.72, 7.64, 8.36, 7.60, 7.77, 6.49 and 5.04 % during the seven weeks from starting Maturing and Marketing.
