Where the Birds Live...




It is noticeable how most kinds of birds tend to keep to certain special surroundings, and it is not by chance that we find them there again and again.
Many factors are at work in determining just where any given species can live and reproduce most successfully, and while some birds are much more adaptable than others, all are influenced by such things as their food requirements, the availability of nest-sites or song-posts, cover for roosting, and so forth.
a convenient name for a bird's immediate and typical surrounding is 'habitat', and each type of habitat, whether it be hill forest, dense shrubberies, open countrysides are marshlands, has its own characteristic birds.
This picture explains in detail what a habitat is all about.
