Abstract
The present study emphasizes the diversity and abundance of bird species
in Birati town, situated in the North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal. This
study is the first comprehensive and thorough investigation of the existing
variety and distribution of avian fauna in Birati town, where, until now, no
published report has been available. The one-year study, conducted from January
2023 to December 2023, recorded 70 bird species from 30 families and 12 orders
in the town. In Birati, the greatest species diversity was found within the
order Passeriformes, while the families Ardeidae, Cuculidae, and Picidae had
the highest number of bird species recorded during the study. The results of
the present study indicate that, despite being a densely populated urban area,
Birati town houses a rich avian fauna that requires active monitoring and
protection.
