Cities are losing green spaces. However, birds also live in the concrete jungle. Trees and open space disappear. Therefore, the birds are forced to adapt to the artificial environment.
The group of urban birds includes species that depend on humans. Most of the species that live in the city are scavengers, although other species are found in parks, suburban areas, and nest in buildings.
On average, the urban bird population has grown by 25% over the past three decades. It includes permanent urban dwellers and short-distance migrant birds.

Conclusion
Many of the areas the cities are expanding into contain large numbers of wildlife. Clearing land for urban development destroys biodiversity. Maintaining it is important for the well-being of people and birds.
Large areas of land should be left untouched when planning new urban areas. Parks and open spaces provide shelter for birds and other wildlife.
In an urban environment, many bird species successfully live next to humans. The problem is that large and aggressive birds of prey drive out small relatives that feed on harmful insects.
