Abstract

The symbiotic relationship of bird and pika is still a least understood phenomenon in biological science. This study at 3300 m near Somdang of Ganesh Himal area of central Nepal provided a new and interesting information on the behavior of Royle’s Pika (Ochotona roylei) which shared its haypile with a bird called Scaly Breasted Wren Babbler (Pnoepyge albiventer). Among the inspected 11 haypiles one haypile was observed sheltering both bird and pika.
