Bird-human Intimacy

With the expansion of rapid and unplanned urban expansion, the landscape has transformed into a concrete jungle, shrinking the natural habitat for all species. Among the most remarkable survivors of this shift are birds. They have adapted to urban settings with resilience and ingenuity. Bird species play a vital role in maintaining rural and urban ecosystems through pollination, seed dispersal, forest regeneration, scavenging, and controlling weeds and pests. Additionally, their droppings help distribute nutrients, enriching the soil. According to the recent research examining bird behaviour in rural and urban habitats, avian species are changing to coexist with human settlements. The species are evolving their adaptability and survival strategies.
