The present study aimed at recording the time-activity budget and feeding techniques of red-crested pochards (RCPs) to test the hypotheses that feeding techniques were influenced by the sexes and contrasting physical conditions of the habitat. The timeactivity budget was quantified using the scanned sample approach. In this study, the mean sex ratio of the RCPs was recorded as . Dominant behavior was sleeping or resting ( in February to in January), followed by swimming ( in February to in December), feeding ( in December to in February), and preening ( in January to in February). |
