Global Perspectives on Pest Bird Research and Management Methods: Implications for Agricultural Areas in Malaysia
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This review paper presented pest bird research highlighting the global, Southeast Asia and Malaysian contexts, emphasising their impacts on agriculture and control measures. Using methodological searches of robust scientific databases, this review outlines limited research on species distribution, ecological interactions and behavioural ecology respectively. The results call for pest bird management strategies in Malaysia that are focused on a targeted, locally relevant basis. In addition, existing pest management methods (conventional to more recent techniques) are reviewed, and their efficacy is compared in different contexts to assist future control strategies. This review, therefore, highlights the need for a further comprehensive understanding of pest bird populations across Malaysia in order to determine sustainable and effective control strategies appropriate for local scenarios reflective of agricultural and ecological diversity.
