Abstract
In modern agriculture, to increase the yield and to reduce the pest disease incidence on plants uses of pesticide have been increased. Now-a-days the pesticides are used in households for different purpose without knowledge of its impact on environment especially in wildlife. As a result of Bioaccumulation and Biomagnification of pesticide residue, it causes various acute and chronic symptoms in wild animals especially in birds. So it is essential to have knowledge about the harmful effects of pesticide. In this paper routes of pesticide residue in wildlife as well as some effects of pesticide residue have discussed.
