Birds are the most attractive and fascinating groups of animals on the earth. Birds play an important and dynamic role in the balanced ecological parameters uniting of food chain in ecological unit of nature.

Data were collected for twelve consecutive months by using the point count method. The observations have recorded 35 species of birds that includes 11 orders and 23 families. The order Passeriformes has 19 species of birds. The family Sturnidae and Phasianidae (3 species) was the most diverse among all the 23 families.
