Abstract
Laboratory study in cages was conducted, using different plant seeds to estimate the food preference of house sparrow, Passer domesticus niloticus Nicoll and Bonhote. Under choice and non choice test. Sparrows showed a clear difference in food preference among various seeds, while under non choice tests, sparrows preferred wheat, soybean, sorghum, safflower, sunflower and fenugreek respectively but under choice tests, sparrows preferred soybean, wheat, safflower, sunflower, sorghum and fenugreek respectively.
