Abstract

An attempt was made to study the use of local medicinal flora in nest building by Indian Sarus Crane in and around Alwara lake of Kaushambi district of Uttar Pradesh. The study was centralized mainly on medicinal values of nesting materials used by sarus cranes to build their nests. The study and exploration were undertaken during two breeding seasons from June 2014–July 2015. A total of twenty one plant species belonging to 11 families having some medicinal values were identified to be used by the cranes in constructing their nests. The nests were found on large wetlands, paddy fields, scattered irrigation ditches, adjoining areas of Lake etc. around the human settlements, which were dominated by these plants.
