The diversity of bird in study area was analyzed usingShannon index diversity. A total of 39 bird species were observed, they were grouped into 26 families.  Columbidae and Pycnonotidae  were the  families  that havethe  highest  abundance compared with other families.  Shannon indexesfor the  diversityof  the birdwhich    observed in  three
