<br/><br/> The preferability of some food materials to house sparrow and palm dove birds was investigated under laboratory condition. The obtained results revealed that barnyard seed bait was the most preferable one for birds followed by rice, sorghum, wheat, crushed maize and barely baits, while crushed sunflower bait showed the lowest one. On the other hand, sugar is consider the most promising additive mixed with the poisoned bait for both house sparrow and palm dove birds.  Toxicity results revealed that Lannate insecticide and Nuxvamic ethanolic extract mixed with 0.1% prepulsid as antiromtening was the most effective for both house sparrow and palm dove birds compared with the pervious insecticide and plant extract alone.
