| Abstract: Feeding ecology of birds was studied in subtropical and temperate region of Doda which lies in middle Himalayan chain of Pir Panchal range of Jammu and Kashmir, India. In the present study, a total 71 species of birds was documented from the study area belonging to 9 orders, 27 families and 12 sub families. Out of 71, 26 species were insectivores (I), 17 omnivores (O), 12 carnivores (C), 4 frugivores(F), 4 grainivores (G) and rest of the 8 species share more than one feeding guilds. This study therefore showed a remarkable variation in feeding ecology of birds in the region surveyed. |
