Roosting Sites

Roosting sites are specific places where birds rest, sleep, and often seek shelter during the day or night. These locations provide safety from predators and harsh weather, and they include natural spots like tree branches, caves, or rock ledges, as well as man-made structures like buildings, bridges, or artificial nest platforms. The choice of roosting site depends on the species and their needs for safety, comfort, and proximity to food sources. Protecting and preserving these sites is essential for maintaining healthy bird populations and supporting biodiversity.
