Identification of Bird Diversity in the PutroePhang Park, Banda Aceh Indonesia

Biodiversity in Indonesia includes flora and fauna. One of the biodiversity of fauna in Indonesia is birds. The existence of uncontrolled development and hunting of rare birds can threaten the existence of birds. PutroePhang Park is a green open space that is also used by birds as their habitat. The diversity of bird species can be used as an indicator of environmental quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of bird species found in PutroePhang Park in Banda Aceh. The Point Count method was used for this research. Based on the results of research at PutroePhang Park in Banda Aceh City, there were 13 species of birds in 9 families. The Diversity Index (H ') in PutroePhang Park is 1.78 which is included in the medium category. Hirundorustika bird species diversity index, has a value of 0.17 which is in the low category, with Importance Value Index value (23.57). The lowest bird species diversity index was Lonchurapunctulata, Orthotomusruficeps, Passer montanus, Phylloscopus borealis and RhipiduraJavanica with each value of 0.12, and IVI value of 11.51. The value of the Dominance Index in PutroePhang Park is 0.079 in the low category. For bird groups that found based on type of food, insectivores had the highest percentage (46.15%), while nectarivores had the smallest percentage with a value of (7.69%)IJSRED - International Journal of Scientific Research and Engineering Developmen
