This introductory textbook is representing some of the basic ideas related to identification, morphology and behavior of common birds found in different areas of Jhargram district. Actually different types of these colorful birds are closely associated with us and they play an important role directly or indirectly in connection with the well-beings of human particularly in pollination of different plants. These birds also play a key role in agro-ecosystem and act as a bio-indicator of a particular area.
