Abstract
Birds play an important role in long-term
sustainability of ecosystems via their roles in pollination, seed dispersal,
and soil formation. Both terrestrial and marine ecosystems benefit from these eminent
services. Birds are used as bio-indicators or ecosystem health assessors because
of the valuable information they provide to researchers. Therefore, the
characteristics of the habitat in which birds thrive may provide a crucial information
on the health of ecosystems and further biodiversity conservation. Daytime observation
was performed to evaluate bird populations and habitat types during the study period.
The majority of recorded birds were preferred to live in tree canopies (45.33
percent), with shrubs and marshy areas being seen in smaller numbers than trees
(10.67% and 26.67%, respectively). Herbs (8.00%), shrubby plants (05.00%), and
only 4.00% of the birds showed interest in living around human dwelling. It
could be crucial for comprehending the procedure and making an accurate
estimate of bird diversity in a certain area or region.
