Birds play a vital role in ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity and environmental balance:
– Habitat & Distribution: Birds are found in nearly every habitat, from dense forests and wetlands to urban environments. Their adaptability allows them to thrive in diverse climates
– Birds help regenerate forests by spreading seeds over long distances; & species like hummingbirds & sunbirds are essential pollinators, ensuring plant reproduction
– They play a role in the balance of ecosystems by being Pest control: owls & hawks regulate rodent populations, while insectivorous birds help control pests in
agricultural settings
– Scaveging & nutrient cycling: Vultures & seabirds contribute to ecosystem health by removing carcasses & cycling nutrients
– Climate & Environmental Indicators: Birds are sensitive to habitat loss & climate change, making them valuable indicators of environmental health
– Threats & Conservation: Habitat destruction, pollution, & climate change pose significant risks to bird populations. Conservation efforts focus on habitat restoration
and reducing human impact.
