“…The birds will also plays a great role to protect the plants form different pests and insect attacks and also act as pollinators and seed dispersal agents. Floristic inventories and exploration of fauna is essential to initiate the conservation efforts in particular landscapes as the flora and fauna are interdependent (Arigela et al, 2022).…”

Observations of plant-bird interactions at the Botanical Survey of India (BSI), Arid Zone Regional Centre (AZRC) in Jodhpur campus have been supported by photographic evidence. A total of 55 species of birds have been recorded here, including winter migratory birds (8), internal migratory birds (7) and sedentary birds (40). In the analysed area, interactions of birds with 75 species of plants, representing 34 families, were recorded (most of these plants belong to the families Fabaceae and Poaceae). During the observation, it was found that these plants brought various benefits to the birds living in the area. Most plants are a source of insects that are part of the diet of birds and a shelter or nesting site. These observations allowed for the formulation of conclusions regarding the importance of urban gardens and native plant species for the preservation of biodiversity in urbanised conditions.
