Indian Ornithology

Indian ornithology is the scientific study of birds in India, focusing on their diversity, behavior, ecology, and conservation. India, with its vast landscapes—from Himalayas to coastal regions—hosts over 1,300 bird species, making it a rich area for bird research. Ornithologists identify and classify birds, observe their mating, feeding, and migration patterns, and work to protect threatened species and habitats. This field contributes to understanding ecological balance, bird migration routes, and the impact of environmental changes. Indian ornithology combines fieldwork, research, and conservation efforts to appreciate and preserve the country's avian biodiversity.
