According to the residence characteristics of birds, they are divided into 5 categories:

Resident birds: Resident birds are birds that live in the local area for many years, such as embroidery-eyed birds, bald bulbuls, egrets, etc.

7.Feather birds: provide humans with down, decorative feathers, carving feathers and other raw materials.

9.Beneficial birds: The vast majority of birds living in nature are natural enemies of agricultural and forestry pests (beasts), and some of them even feed almost exclusively on insects.

They guard forests, orchards, and fields all year round to hunt insects and eliminate pests for farmers. Birds of prey remove rotting flesh and filth and debris, play an important role in protecting agricultural and forestry production, and compete for the natural environment, and also play a great role in promoting the recovery of animal populations.
