“…This finding of season specificity corroborated well with the prior studies of [38]. Finding of present work shows the decrease in frequency of the Rose-ringed parakeet during the winter season correlates with the similar findings by [27].…”

“…[11,19,24,25] also found the Family Muscicapidae to be dominant in their studies. Red-vented bulbul, Blue Rock pigeon, Common tailorbird, Ashy prinia, Rose-ringed parakeet, Little brown dove, Purple sunbird, Jungle babbler, Coppersmith barbet and Red-wattled lapwing were found to be the most common birds during the present study as were also found in the studies of [3,16,21,26,27]. On the other hand, Ashy drongo and ickell's blue flycatcher were recorded only a few times [26].…”

In the present study carried out at the Govt. (Model, Autonomous) Holkar Science Campus, total 51 species of birds belonging to 14 Orders and 33 Families were recorded. Out of these 51 species, 41 species were found to be resident and 10 species were winter visitors. Only one species i.e. Alexandrine parakeet was found to be in the Near Threatened Category (NT) of IUCN. Interestingly, 13 new species of birds which were previously unrecorded at the college campus were recorded, which suggests the variation in the number of species and their abundance within the past years. Total 17 species of birds were recorded breeding inside the college campus. Their nesting preference and the use of anthropogenic material for building the nest was also studied. The results of Relative Diversity (RD) Index shows that the Family Muscicapidae (RD Value = 13.7) was dominant in the college campus. Seasonal variation was observed in few resident bird species suggesting their local movement. Further, the importance of large trees with dense foliage has been described and the negative impact of stray dogs on the life of birds is also discussed.

The present study was designed to note the birds occurring in the microhabitats of Bangalore University Campus, India. Birds were monitored and surveyed using line transect methods that were laid in different spots of the campus. Twenty-eight species were newly added to this campus premises, out of which 20 are waterbirds. Conservation methods needed for habitat improvement through restoration of ponds and water check-dams including vegetation.

“…In a similar kind of study Aggarwal et al [28] have reported exactly 106 bird species belonging to 52 families in the Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM) campus, Bhopal (covering an area of about 93 hectares) during their nine-month study. Again, Chandrakar and Dhuria [29] have reported 81 bird species belonging to 38 families during their year-long study in Guru Ghasidas University campus, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh (covering an area of about 700 hectares).…”

The present study was performed to investigate bird diversity at Durgapur Government College Campus, West Bengal, India from January 2013 to January 2020. The standard point count method and opportunistic sightings were used to make the checklist of the bird species. A total of 106 different bird species belonging to 47 families were recorded. Sylviidae was recorded as the most diverse family. Out of the 106 bird species, 23 were winter migrants, 4 were summer migrants, 1 was passage migrant, 1 was vagrant and the rest 77 were residents. Winter months supported the highest species richness while maximum bird density was recorded in the month of March. The global population trend chart of the observed bird species showed that most of the species belonged to the stable category (52 %, 55 species). Alexandrine Parakeet (Psittacula eupatria) belonged to the Near Threatened category of the IUCN Red List category among the recorded birds. The present study area is now facing various anthropogenic disturbances which are leading to the decline of the bird populations and need special attention. More extensive studies will surely enrich our knowledge of the avifauna of this area.
