Abstract

A total of 47 taxa of birds belonging to 13 orders and 19 families were discovered in the Dausa district of Rajasthan, India, during the months of January and December 2022. Forty-three of the species found there were local migratory, while thirteen of them were permanent residents. The data collected from birds in the study revealed approximately19 different species of insectivores. Other predominant bird species included omnivores, predators, granivores, and frugivores for the most part. Ground, pendant, hollow, and cup nesters, as well as platform and hole nesters, are the six distinct types of nesting systems that are available. Twigs, fibres, sticks, leaves, mud, and grasses were the most common material that the birds used to construct their nests, despite the fact that they used a variety of materials. There is a significant amount of interest on a global scale in urban areas as emergent ecosystems. The social-ecological systems that make up urban environments are complex and incredibly important. There are geographical areas inside these artificial ecosystems that have a substantial amount of biological diversity.
