forest bird

Canopy-dwelling avian creature

A forest bird is any bird species that lives primarily in woodland habitats, depending on trees for nesting, foraging, or shelter.

The term appears in ecological and conservation contexts: Forest birds are particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation.

Some forest birds inhabit the canopy, others the understory or forest floor.
