bird sanctuaries
Protected avian habitats
Bird sanctuaries are protected areas established specifically to provide safe habitats for wild birds, where hunting and other disturbances are prohibited or strictly controlled.
These may be government-managed wildlife refuges or privately operated preserves, often located along migration routes or in regions with significant breeding populations.
The coastal bird sanctuary attracts thousands of shorebirds each spring.
The term emphasizes both the protective function and the quasi-sacred status afforded to avian life within these boundaries.
