Abstract
Forest systems in a range of periods of alteration and change endow with commodities and service that assistance human race. Bird, being a part of ecosystem components, contributes ecosystem services. The present paper highlights the assembly of birds in forest nurseries of Jhansi district, Uttar Pradesh. The three selected forest nurseries (Bhasneh, Sukwa and Bangua) were explored during the summers, to know the bird species as well as their potential to serve as bird watching sites. Forest nurseries contribute an incredibly significant role in the development of plantations of forest trees. The study also aimed to determine the importance of Forest nurseries for amateur bird watchers and to suggest methods to conserve birds in these habitats. The study was undertaken during the summers (May and June) in 2016 and 2017. Total 74 different species of birds were recorded. The birds that were observed during this study were made up of mainly resident (species). Continuity and variability of the habitat seems to be the prime factor deciding the bird population in any area. The regular care of the nurseries suggest that with standard monitoring of these areas, the protection and conservation of the bird community will be possible. Forest nurseries have the sympathetic environment for bird species. Workshops on ornithology for school and college students can be organized in Forest nurseries. The participants can acquire a prospect to observe various bird species at a single place. After conducting bird studies by the Ornithologists, Bird boards can be inserted in these Nurseries so that maximum visitors discover about the birds.
