Birds are among the key components biodiversity with ecological, economic and esthetic values. The study was conducted from April 2023 to July 2023 by considering the dry and wet seasons. The main objective of this study was to investigate the diversity, relative abundance and habitat association of birds in Shahura town and it’s adjacent area. Based on preliminary survey, three habitat types were identified in the study area as settlement, farmland and church forest. Data were collected using total count in church forest and line transect in settlement and farmland from 6:30−10:00 a.m. in the morning and3:p.m to 6: p.m. in the afternoon. Shannon-Weiner diversity indices were used to estimate the avian species diversity and one-way ANOVA was conducted to compare avian relative abundance and richness among the three habitat types. During this study, a total of 3061 birds belonging to 8 Orders, 17 Families and 25 species were recorded for the two seasons. The highest diversity of bird species was observed in church forest during wet season (H’ = 2.51) and the lowest was observed in settlement area during dry season (H’= 2.0). The highest evenness (E=0.91) was recorded in farm land during dry season and the lowest evenness (E=0.75) was recorded in settlement area during wet season. Among the eight identified orders Passeriformes was numerically the dominant order. The abundance of bird species in the three habitats showed no statistically significant difference among group means of the three habitats both in the dry (p =0.063) and wet season (p= 0.091). seasons. Further studies are required to make a complete list of available bird species in the study area
