SURVEY AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE RESIDENT AND MIGRATORY WILD BIRD SPECIES IN DIFFERENT HABITATS AT GHARBIA GOVERNORATE
... In Ismailia Governorate, about 27 resident bird species and 6 migratory bird species occurred (Abbasy et al., 2012). At Gharbia governorate the resident bird species were 24 while the migratory birds were 5 species (Metwally et al., 2016). In Sharkia Governorate Issa (2019) recorded 25 bird species as resident and 8 as migratory, but he noticed that aquatic habitats harbor a higher number of birds than field crop habitat. ...
... The same trend was founded during 2019 also at Sharkia Governorate, with 33 bird species belonging to 24 families and 10 orders (Issa, 2019). Either at Gharbia Governorate, a total of 29 bird species belonging to 21 families with 10 orders were recorded (Metwally et al., 2016). The variations in species numbers are by virtue of observers, time of the day & surrounded climate (Bibby et al., 2000), also the variations in vegetation structure, food resources, availabilities of essential requirements, biotic and abiotic factors affect species numbers and distribution (Liang et al., 2017;Sheta, 2019;Xu et al., 2022). ...
Bird presence in the agricultural ecosystem is a critical for preserving ecological balance due to its various ecological impacts. The composition of bird species and their feeding guilds in agricultural land was investigated in El-Zahraa village, Zagazig district, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. The point count method was used to survey bird species from April 2021 to March 2022. The survey identified a total of 21 bird species belonging to 17 families and 7 orders. The order Passeriformes was the most abundant; consist of 10 families: Alaudidae, Cisticolidae, Corvidae, Estrildidae, Hirundinidae, Motacillidae, Muscicapidae, Passeridae, Pycnonotidae, Sturnidae. The composition of bird guilds indicated that granivorous and insectivores birds were being more numerous than other guilds (omnivores, carnivores and piscivorous) while, the frugivorous birds was the least represented. The dominant bird species were represented with 5 species: house sparrow, hooded crow, rock pigeon, cattle egret and laughing dove. Food preference experiments conducted on the hooded crow revealed that birds tend to consume Tamia, liver, chicken intestine, and fish in that order. Interestingly, the crows did not consume any amount of crushed maize. Additionally, in terms of color preference, food placed on a blue plastic sheet was favored over food on a red plastic sheet. The abundance of bird species and the diversity of their feeding guilds reflect the richness of food resources in the agricultural area. Furthermore, understanding the food preferences of the hooded crow may assist in utilizing this preferred and cost-effective food (Tamia) as bait to attract and control these birds.
