bird habitats

Where fowl dwell

Bird habitats are the natural environments where birds live, feed, and breed.

The term appears in ecology, conservation, and birdwatching contexts: wetlands provide critical bird habitats for migratory species, urban development has destroyed local bird habitats.

Different species require different habitats—forests, grasslands, marshes, coastlines, or deserts—making habitat preservation central to protecting bird populations.
