Of 104 bird species recorded maximum (94) was the least concern status, 6 were nearly threatened, 2 were vulnerable, 2 were endangered and 1 was critically endangered in IUCN red list category. Birds play important role in an agriculture ecosystem and maintain the ecological balance. The presence of birds in an area defines the wealth of ecosystem. For maintaining the bird diversity it is recommended to limit the use of pesticides and fertilizers. Planting the trees in agriculture fields would lead the increase of bird's population in the area.
