Abstract

The house crow has a notorious reputation for being a problem species in both native and foreign countries because of its multiplicity of approaches to adaptation and the consequent economic damage. In this context, the purpose of the current study is to elucidate the daily habits and population fluctuations of the house crow community in Suez Governorate, Egypt. The results indicated a substantial variation in the daily activity of the house crow based on the differences in the nature of the habitat. The highest numbers were recorded during the summer months (July to August) in parking and buildings during the sunset period, highlighting the drop in the first season's overall average compared to the second season. It is noted that the semi-annual average for the period from June 2020 to December 2021 significantly increased from the general average for the same period during the second season (60 and 49), respectively.
