Journal Title: International Journal of Experimental Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Birds are considered excellent bio-indicators and ideal models for predicting environmental changes due to the effects of urbanization on ecosystems since they are highly diverse and conspicuous biota of the ecosystem. Bird species respond rapidly to changes in landscape alteration, composition and function and to the availability of habitat structures. Birds were classified into categories based on behavioral and physiological response guilds and a Bird Community Index Score (BCI) was calculated based on the types of birds present. As habitats shift from undisturbed to degraded, there will be a corresponding shift from specialist to generalist species because disturbed habitats could not support very specialized species. So, urban and industrial areas may be a very good area for observing such kind shift among the bird species. The paper is a review is of this kind of study.
