Explore the Impacts and Alterations of Urban Environments on Bird Populations

The accelerating process of urbanization has had an impact on the living environment of birds and other wildlife; hence, many wild animals and plants have been forced to become urban settler. Birds, as an important indicator of the ecosystem, and analyzing the impacts and changes of the urban environment on bird populations can enable researchers to better understand the state of the ecosystem. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of urban environments on bird populations and summarize how urbanization has changed the birds survival in various aspects. The paper finds that disturbances in urban environments cause birds to develop corresponding adaptive changes through behavioral changes to avoid the effects of environmental disturbances; meanwhile, urban birds also use some features of urban environments to reduce the consumption of their survival. The analysis in this paper briefly summarizes the impact of urbanization on the survival of birds in various aspects.
