A survey of birds in Indore city (Meghdoot garden, Nehru park, Lalbagh and Pipliyapala Regional Park) was conducted for a year (2018) to study the temporal variation in terrestrial avian fauna. The aim of the present study was to study the fluctuation in the number of species with the change in seasons. Line transect method was adopted to make 10 faunistic surveys in each site in every season. Birds were photographed and identified with the help of their call and field guide books. Interestingly, highest number of birds were recorded in the summer season in Pipliyapala regional park (52) and Lalbagh (39). On the other hand, least number of terrestrial avian diversity was recorded in Lalbagh (35) and Nehru Park (30) in rainy season. Thus, the present study pinnacles the activity of bird watching and tourism in these spaces as it generates revenue, which is further used in the maintenance and development.
