As the economy develops, green spaces are fragmenting and disappearing at an accelerated pace. Green spaces in cities are oases that provide habitats for wildlife. The purpose of this study was to investigate the composition, activities, and breeding status of birds in the green belts of the Fab area. The results of a year-long survey showed that the Hsinchu and Longtan Fabs were mainly composed of terrestrial birds, whereas the proportion of water birds was low. A total of 31 species of birds from 22 families were recorded in Hsinchu Fab12A and Fab12B. There were nine species of birds breeding in the Fab12A and B Fabs areas, including Zosterops japonicus, Pycnonotus sinensis, Dendrocitta formosae, Psilopogon nuchalis, Streptopelia orientalis orii, Hirundo rustica gutturalis, Dicrurus macrocercus, Gorsachius melanolophus, and Gallinula chloropus. The breeding season of these birds was recorded to be between March and June. Additionally, a total of 23 species of birds from 19 families were recorded in the Fab2/5, Fab3 and Fab7 areas. The breeding season was recorded to be from February till May. There were seven species of breeding birds, including Pycnonotus sinensis, Dendrocitta formosae, Streptopelia orientalis orii, Streptopelia tranquebarica humili, Gorsachius melanolophus, Psilopogon nuchalis, and Dicrurus macrocercus. A total of 29 species of birds from 21 families and four species of breeding birds, including Pycnonotus sinensis, Streptopelia orientalis orii, Dicrurus macrocercus, and P. flavirostris, were recorded in the Longtan Fab area. The breeding season of these birds was recorded to be between March till May. The birds in the Fab area eat plant species, such as Bischofia javanica, Cinnamomum camphora, Cerasus serrulata, Ficus microcarpa, Melia azedarach, Grevillea robusta, and Bombax ceiba. However, the birds preferred eating the Melia azedarach and Grevillea robusta species the most. The activity hotspots in the 2 Longtan Fab areas were the flood pond surrounded by Miscanthus floridulus; the activity of birds in the hotspots in the Fab12A and Fab12B areas changed with the phytophenology; and, the activity hotspots in Fab2/5, Fab3 and Fab7 areas were mainly on trees on both sides of the streets at Fab3 and Fab7, respectively. From the survey results, we can observe that when the diversity of plant species and habitat types in green belts is high, even if the green belts are small, they can still provide habitats for many birds. In the future, we hope that with urban planning, green belts can be planted to provide for the needs of wildlife, and to ensure peaceful coexistence and co-prosperity. |
