Abstract :
One of the most crucial ecological markers for
assessing the condition of ecosystems is avifaunal
diversity. In order to sustain a trophic level in an
ecosystem, birds are a vital animal group. Therefore, it is
crucial to thoroughly research the ecology and avifauna
in order to safeguard them. They are one of the
biological control methods used to manage pests in
farms, gardens, and other locations. They assist in the
pollination of plants. Surveys were carried out seasonally
and observations were doneusing Line Transect Method
with the aid of 10x50 binoculars and Canon (200 D)
DSLR camera. The Avifaunal diversity at SGPGI
campus, Lucknow includes 24 species most of the species
belonging to 8 orders. Order Passeriformes had
maximum 15bird species, Spilopelia chinensis, Turdodies
striata, Oriental magpie- robin, Psittacula krameri,
Columbia livia domestica are the most abundant
residential species in the SGPGI campus, Lucknow. The
present study is the first documentation of the avifauna
from the region and the study was aimed for the support
in the conservation of the bird species as well as for
safeguarding the habitat of the bird species of the area.
