ABSTRACT
In ecosystem, every element is important because both the components play a crucial role to improve the ecosystem processes. Plants and animals are therefore living components which are useful to run the process in combination with other nonliving components. Like plants and microbes birds are very important component in living system because they help us in various ways to establish good vegetation. Therefore to establish, flourish and gradual change of any vegetation in connection with succession, role of birds is unpredictable. Plants and birds are a centre of attraction of tourists, students and researchers. Including plants and animals, all the mighty creatures have a great role in an ecosystem. Apart from the above one, birds are important from specific point of view because they help us to delimitate our monotony. They do various activities from dawn to dusk for their own. Jhilly Pakhiralaya is therefore a destiny of plants and birds but not only in park but other nearby forest too. All citizens have a good role to protect birds and their vicinity environment in various ways in which we can see them and record their behaviour which they perform from morning to evening nay dawn to dusk. The roosting, nesting, feeding, drinking, bathing, splashing in water, dusting, anting, sun bathing and oiling round the day make vivid activity acting by various birds. These are some social behaviour of birds. Some birds visit park, on surface soils, over the bushes and canopy of trees with other birds round the day but collection of the food from different habitats are specific for one kind of birds. Some birds migrate from a place to another place mainly during winter. Aquatic birds are such kind that uses the jhill and surrounding environments that is filled with many water plants. The trophic level and structure in the ecosystem differs from a group to other due to the varied characters and versatile collection pattern of materials for food to nest. Some birds stay at buildings but others stay at trees and holes with flocks in the Jhilly surroundings. A large number of migratory birds visit during winter and in summer where they found singly or in flocks. Good example is yellow footed green pigeon and lesser whistling duck. In this article, a general discussion on plants and birds of Jhilly Pakhiralaya has been presented. This paper may be a helpful guide to everybody for protecting birds in their surroundings. We can help them through this idea and can make a peaceful environment for the protection of avifauna of local kind along with vegetation.
