Abstract

Maharaja Bir Bikram College campus, Tripura is having a very good biodiversity having a different type of flora and fauna. The two big lakes and different types of flowering and fruit plants present in the campus provide grounds for feeding, breeding and nesting for avian fauna. The field survey was made to assess the campus avian faunal diversity by conducting weekly observations. Seventy six species of birds belonging to 42 families and 14 orders were recorded. Order Passeriformes contribute to about 42% of the total bird species richness. Of the total diversity, 51% birds are common, 22% are rare and 26% are abundant. Among the foraging groups, insectivores dominated the bird community.
