ABSTRACT
Field survey was carried out in early morning and evening hours to
estimate the existing biodiversity of birds in Mungeli area. Mungeli
city harbors wide variety of bird variations in food availability in
different seasons affected the bird diversity in the study area. This
habitat attracted 14 bird species. Many of the birds are in pairs, so
that their breeding properly in this area. The survey result indicate
large number of species-Eupatria (Family- Cacatuidae) -Corvus
(Crow) which can adapt themselves in the environment of Setganga
area.
KEYWORDS: Birds, diversity, Mungeli, Setganga.

INTRODUCTION
Birds, the most fascinating group in the animal kingdom, are an integral part of all natural
ecosystems and attract the attention of laymen and scientists alike, because of their interesting
biological attributes and the significant role played by them in nature. As in natural
ecosystems, often, many birds are associated with agro -ecosystems for their survival and
make some impact on such systems. Since the advent of agriculture birds have been
associated with crops, and the importance of birds in agriculture has been highlighted by
Salim Ali (2007).

Biodiversity
Biodiversity is most commonly used to replace to more clearly defined and long established
terms, species diversity and species richness.

STUDY AREA
Mungeli is a city and a municipality in Mungeli district in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Selection of site –Setganga is 15 km for away from Mungeli city it is situated on kawardha
Road. The atmosphere and environment of Mungeli is very good for any research work we
can early observe and identity the bird for our project and do my work.

Photography -Photography of bird and amphibians is largely a macro lens or adequate lens
in necessary for successfully capturing many species image in inefficient.

Equipment –Birds activity are often rewarded using the latest digital camera safest way to
photography, bird is never to touch them.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Total 14 species of birds in Setganga area are found during the study period, which were
listed below in Table 1.

CONCLUSION
It concludes from the survey that Setganga area are the special place where the birds can be
conserved them by natural environment. One of the main issues in our study is the different
ability of bird species to tolerate environment stress such as pollution and how this ability is
connected to their diet
