“…A total of 124 bird species belonging to 101 genera, distributed among 61 families and 16 orders were recorded from the campus of Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology (Table 1). The bird species recorded in the current study is higher than the bird species observed at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi (Singh et al 2017), Calicut University, Malappuram (111 species) (Jose and Zacharias 2003), OUAT, Bhubaneswar (95 species) (Mallik et al 2015) and BUAT, Banda (61 species) (Singh et al 2018b), but lower than the bird species recorded at Sabaragamuwa University, SriLanka (145 species) (Surasinghe and de Alwis 2010). Passeriformes had the highest diversity with 62 species and 26 families, followed by Pelecaniformes with 9 species and 5 families (Fig.…”

“…Out of the 52 threatened species recorded in India, 14 species occur in Uttar Pradesh (BirdLife International 2001). In Uttar Pradesh, checklists of avifauna have been published from Lucknow University (Kanaujia et al 2012), Chaudhary Charan Singh University, Meerut (Rana et al 2013), Gorakhpur University (Singh et al 2018a), Banda University of Agriculture and Technology (Singh et al 2018b) and Integral University, Lucknow (Singh and Khalid 2020). But there has been no documentation of birds from the campus of Acharya Narendra Deva University Agriculture and Technology, Ayodhya.…”

A bird survey was conducted using point count method in the Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology campus from October 2020 to September 2021. A total of 124 bird species representing 101 genera, 61 families and 16 orders were recorded from the campus. Passeriformes was recorded as the most dominant order with 62 species. Muscicapidae was the most dominant family with 10 species and the highest RDi value (8.06).omnivore birds (37%) were the most Six groups were formed according to their feeding habits: dominant, followed by insectivores (26%), carnivores (25%), granivores (6%), frugivores (5%) and nectarivores (1%). Out of 124 bird species, 78% were resident, 19% were winter visitors and 3% were summer visitors. Of the species recorded, one species is classified as Endangered, one species as Vulnerable and four species as Near Threatened as per the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This campus also supported birds having a decreasing population trend globally (21%). This study is the first attempt to prepare a checklist of birds at the ANDUAT campus, which will provide a baseline for future research and monitoring of birds in the campus.

“…The main reason is habitat destruction due to deforestation for agricultural, developmental, and other purposes, as well as random tree cutting, which has resulted in a reduction in forage and nesting places for the species. 5,6 Another factor contributing to their reduction is changes in vegetation composition, which affects the quality and quantity of food, water, and cover essential for their survival, impacting the species' distribution, variety, and abundance. 7,8 The current study aims to prepare a species checklist in the Forest Research Centre (FRC) and Forest College and Research Institute (FCRI) campus as it indicated the diversity of the species in order to conserve bird's existence.…”

A study was conducted to document the avian diversity of the Forest Research Centre (FRC) and Forest College and Research institute (FCRI) Mulugu, Telangana, India from January 2020 to December 2020. Birds were surveyed at two different timings of the day i.e. early morning from 7am to 10 am and at evening from 3pm to 6 pm using line transect and point count method. A total of 77 species belonging to 15 orders and 42 families were recorded in which the maximum abundance of the species was recorded in the order Passeriformes. The analysis of dietary preference showed the dominance of the insectivorous community (52 %) followed by Frugivores (13%). The data on residential status revealed that all the 77 species observed, are resident in India with local migratory nature. The recorded species, Black-headed Ibis (Threskiornis melanocephalus) is listed under the near threatened (NT) category in the IUCN red data list. The work highlighted the importance of green cover around urban ecosystems as a preferred habitat for avian populations. FRC supports good bird diversity and protection and management of areas in and around them will help with conservation of the species.

“…Globally around 10,787 extant species (40 Orders, 252 Families, 2359 Genera) of birds are recorded out of which 1335 species (26 orders, 113 families, and 485 genera) are recorded from India (Praveen et al, 2020c) with Gujarat state having 574 species of birds recorded (Ganpule, 2016). Avifauna is the major component of the ecological food chain and maintains the ecological balance (Singh et al, 2018). However, in present time the avifaunal diversity seems to decrease due to destruction of their natural habitat and human interference by various means like destruction of trees and natural habitats for the commercial use of wood and land (Edison et al, 2016).…”

Birds occupy many levels of trophic webs and play an important role in the ecosystem. Around 1335 species of birds are recorded from India out of which 574 species are recorded from Gujarat. It has been found that educational and defence premises provide a suitable habitat for birds and therefore can be considered as urban biodiversity hotspots. The present study was carried out from September 2018 to February 2020 to estimate the diversity of avifauna of Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University campus. The University is situated in Patan city of north Gujarat which is a semi-arid region. The campus is spread in 212.50 acres area having diverse type indigenous and exotic floral species which attracts a variety of avian species. Total 70 species (13 orders, 38 families and 63 genera) were recorded with maximum diversity recorded from the order Passeriformes and least form Strigiformes. Out of total 70 species, 68 species belong to least concern while Threskiornis melanocephalus falls under near threatened and Neophron percnopterus under endangered category. The present study is carried out for the first time in the University and will provide a baseline information of the diversity and status of avifauna of the campus for future research perspective and conservation plans.
