Abstract :
Nowadays air pollution is creating a general condition of stress and uneasiness for all flora
and fauna including the Aves. The present study was focused on acute hypoxic stress and resultant
effects in Rain Quails (Coturnix coromandelica). The changes in behaviour and serum proteins were
observed due to experimentally induced conditions of hypoxia in Rain Quails. Quails showed
swelling and slow breathing followed by signs of unconsciousness. The serum proteins were
examined by using Gel Electrophoresis.
