Abstract

• Different types of foods foraged by various birds were investigated in four study sites of Pakokku environs during July 2015 to June 2016. A variety of foods including animal matters and plant matters was consumed by different bird species. The bird fauna in the study area was represented with 69 carnivorous species (54.77%), 53 omnivorous species (42.06%) and four herbivorous species (3.17%) according to the foods taken. The carnivorous birds were predominant due to the abundance of food sources for these birds to forage. The environs of Pakokku provide different food sources that are important for the existence of bird species inhabited in that area.
