Abstract
Wetlands are important water bird habitats and birds use them for breeding, nesting and rearing young. Green plants in wetland prepare their food with the help of sunlight by the process of photosynthesis. Food provides the source of energy. Energy is the currency of population sustainability. It is advantageous for an animal to conserve any energy that it acquires. Birds also use wetlands as a source of drinking water and for feeding, resting, shelter and social interaction. Some water birds adapted to wetlands to such an extent that their survival as individual species depends on the availability of certain types of wetlands within their geographic range. The relation between wetlands and water birds is shaped by many factors. These include the space, cover, food, water, vegetation, topography, water depth etc.
