Birds play an essential role as creatures of our environment and influence the lives of humans in different ways.
Ecological Benefits
Role in seed dispersal: Though these birds depend heavily on seeds they hardly have any fruits and berries. In digesting the fruits, one of the excretory products passed out is a seed making it aid in reproduction from different plants and enriching biodiversity.
Pollination: Some species of birds such as hummingbirds and sunbirds have the habit of deliberately exploring flowers, which helps in pollination processes leading to income from some other expensive ornamental plants.
Pest control Birds are also an important tool for controlling pests like bugs or insects that can be a great help in agriculture.
Nutrient cycling: great influence in nutrient dynamics (insect and other organism consumption) and the return of dropped, faecally rich plant material to fertilize a site by birds through their breeding.
