Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelago located in a tropical climate zone that is home to 17% of the world's creatures, but human disturbances still threaten the existence of bird species in Indonesia. This encourages bird conservation efforts both through conservation areas and community forests. This study aims to determine the diversity and interaction of birds with the vegetation stratum in the community forest of Gunungkelir Hamlet, Jatimulyo Village, Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta. This research was conducted from February to March 2024, using a combination of line transect, point count, and rapid assessment methods for bird observation. Data were analyzed using diversity index (H'), evenness (E), and relative abundance. Vegetation stratum data used in vegetation analysis through nested plot sampling to obtain the Important Value Index (IVI). The results showed that there were 21 species from 13 bird families; the diversity value obtained on the three lanes was 2.62 on lane 1, 1.84 on lane 2, and 1.79 on lane 3. The Albizia chinensis species had the highest IVI value at the seedling and sapling levels, with (67%) and (76.4%), respectively; then cloves obtained the highest IVI value at the pole and tree levels with (84.5%) and (81.3%). The majority of birds, comprising as many as 15 species, were found in stratum C, followed by stratum D, which had as many as 8 species, stratum E with 3 species, stratum B with 2 species, and no birds were found in stratum A. The most common form of vegetation utilization found was resting. Birds utilized the stratum layer to rest, play, and find food. Understanding bird ecology also means understanding human safety in wisely managing forest ecosystems.
