Birds are an important module in our natural environment. Although some birds are more likely to become pests
than others, no particular species can be categorized as good or bad. Birds can be beneficial, neutral or harmful to man's interest, depending upon time, location
and activity. Non-migratory bird species are generally more likely to become pest than migratory. This is because non-migratory species are usually
communal in nature, and unless disturbed, will remain for life. The population is also not affected by factors related to migration. |
