In Nagpur city multitude of gardens, parks either isolated ones and others attached to various water bodies sustain avifauna diversity of local endemic and seasonal migratory birds. These bird-sites can be designated as “Avian- corridors” due to many reasons as these habitats allow birds to move freely to nearby forest areas of city. Hence, in the present field survey 50 avian species were recorded at Satpuda- Botanical Garden, Nagpur. These birds were assigned to guilds based on food consumed by them.
