Birds are among the key components of the earth's biodiversity. The main objective of this study was to assess the diversity and abundance of birds from three study sites in Wabe fragmented forests around Gubre sub city and Wolkite town, Guraghe zone, in April, 2018. Data were collected using line and point count techniques in the early morning (6:00-10:00 a.m.) and late afternoon (4:00-6:00 p.m.) for three consecutive days each in three study sites. During this study, a total of 692 birds belonging to 50 species, 29 Families and 14 Orders were recorded. From the 50 identified species of birds, 36 (72%) of the species were recorded from bushland habitats, while 14 and 15 species were from riverine forest and plantation habitats respectively. Order Passeriformes was numerically the dominant order represented with 22 species which accounts 44%, of the identified species, while Bucerotiformes, Charadriiformes, Ciconiformes, Coliiformes and Piciformes were the least dominant orders represented with one species each. At the family level, family Accipitridae was numerically the dominant family represented with 7 species which accounts 14 %, of the identified species. At species level, Helmeted guineafowl (Numida meleagris) was numerically the most dominant species. The total abundance of birds was significant difference (p=0.00) among the three sites. In general, highest number of individual birds were counted in bushland (410) followed by riverine forest (160) and plantation habitat (122). Furthermore, bushland area had higher value of species diversity (H'=2.89) than plantation area (H'=2.17) and riverine forests (H'=2.16). However, the study area particularly bushland and riverine forests are highly distributed due to human activities. More studies are required to make a complete list of available bird species in the study area.
