“…The distance between points along the transect were 100m maximal in the shrub and 30m minimal in the forests [ 7 ]. The point count approach involves counting all individuals seen and heard by observers from a fixed location (census station) for a set period of time [ 7 , 41 ].…”

Birds are the most widespread vertebrate group, as they can be found in practically every type of habitat. However, lack of knowledge on bird ecology in Afrotropical highlands and bird habitat degradation are the main problems that is why this research was studied. The study was conducted in Awi zone, Amhara National Regional State with the objective of the diversity and relative abundance of bird species in the two habitat types of Dokima forest in Awi zone, Ethiopia. Between November 2018 and December 2020, the transect method was conducted in both dry and wet seasons. Using one-way ANOVA, the effect of seasons and habitats on species richness and abundance was investigated and compared. In both the dry and wet seasons, a total of 2233 individuals, 47 species belonging to 35 families, and 14 orders were recorded. The abundance of bird species was not statistically differed between habitat types in the dry season, but it was statistically significantly in the wet season. The mean abundance of bird species differed significantly between the dry and wet seasons. In the dry season, the forest habitat type had the highest species diversity index (H’ = 3.18) and the highest evenness (J = 0.94), while in the wet season, the forest habitat type had the highest evenness (J = 0.94). These habitats must be conserved in order to protect the birds that live in the area.

“…We observed the maximum number of insectivorous species indicating that the study area has a large diversity of insects. The different types of habitat are also responsible to increase insect diversity and their diversity eventually enhances bird diversity and population in particular areas (Terborgh, 1977, Joshi et al, 2021 The conservation initiatives should continue with public involvement in the particular areas and that the researchers should regularly monitor the birds to understand the changes in the species composition (Arya et al, 2020). A long-term study is needed to understand the effect of climatic change and bird species distribution in the study area.…”

The present study deals with the observation of avifauna in the Natural habitat and their adjoining areas of Harbhajwala in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The study was carried out between December 2018 to October 2020. We observed 114 bird species, belonging to 50 families during the study period. Out of these 97 residents and 19 winters, migratory species were identified. The percentage of resident and winter visitor avian species was found to be 84% and 16%. Then the maximum number of species recorded from the family Muscicapidae. During the observation, we observed the Egyptian Vulture and Alexandrine Parakeet as Endangered and near-threatened species respectively according to IUCN. The presence of threatened species indicates the more conservation efforts are needed in the study area.

“…Indian rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri manillensis) originates from the southern Indian subcontinent and also found in Australia, Great Britain, United States and other western countries. Boreal rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri borealis) is distributed in Bangladesh, Pakistan, northern India and Nepal to central Burma (BirdLife International, 2016;Joshi et al, 2021).…”

This paper presents information on exploitation of Indian Rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri manilensis Scopoli, 1769) in a botanical garden of an undergraduate college in Panvel, Navi Mumbai. Results of the study reveals that even though measures designed to protect the birds by Wildlife Protection Act (1972) of India, still the birds are caught and kept as companion pets or traded. It is suggested that strict legal action must be taken against the culprits practicing the exploitation of Rose-ringed parakeets or any other wild life mainly for live companion pets or any other purposes. Awareness about ecological role of regional biodiversity among local community and regular surveillance by mobile squads of forest personnel will also minimize the trapping, illegal hunting and global trade of Rose-ringed parakeets to a greater extent. The study recommends further research to understand and minimize the exploitation of endangered species of wild life for conservation of the regional biodiversity.
