Abstract
Presence of urban birds in green space have been investigated. This research aims to elucidate population variation among urban zonations of the City of Banjarbaru, Indonesia. The first zone was determined less than 3 km from the center of the city. Then the second and the third zones were set up within 3 to 6 km and more than 6 km respectively. Study was focused on three wooded built and natural parks, and 20 wooded streets. Birds were recorded by sights and ears when they stop on the ground or trees from point counts and certain speed pacing by walking in one side of street. Habitat vegetation was recorded with their characters, include diameter at breast height, tree height, canopy volume and tree species and positions. The result shows there are 7 species of birds in wooded street tress and built parks in the first zone, 20 species in natural parks around the second zone, and 24 species in the natural park located in the third zone. Statistically the number of habitat vegetation is different among those zones. In the wooded street tress, birds share in preference to all the tress. Similarly in built parks birds did not have a preference trees, but in the natural parks birds preferred to use interior wooded trees rather than in the periphery.
