Authors
Interspecific feeding is recorded in numerous bird species across the world, however, there are limited published observations from India. We provide the first documentation of a non-brood parasitic interspecific feeding between an Indian Robin (Copsychus fulicatus) and a Brown Rock Chat (Oenanthe fusca) fledgling from the Central Aravalli hill region of Ajmer, Rajasthan, India.

PlumX Metrics
PlumX Metrics provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment. Collectively known as PlumX Metrics, these metrics are divided into five categories to help make sense of the huge amounts of data involved and to enable analysis by comparing like with like.
