Wildlife conservation in urban habitats is increasingly important due to current urbanization trends. Studying birds in urban landscapes and pointing out the importance of their management and conservation are the needs of the day. Every species has certain habitat requirements for successful nesting and breeding. The increase in anthropogenic activities and the disappearance of native tree populations has raised concerns on avian populations and its nesting behavior. In this study, we observed the nesting success of urban birds in the campus. It is found that nesting failure is not predicted by the density of adult birds. These findings suggest that nesting success determined by nest site availability may drive the distribution of avian species in the urban habitat. The abundance of urban bird species nesting in Christ University campus was studied and the need for planting trees that are more conducive for nesting by birds is recommended.
