in Eurasia there is a huge number of birds, you can meet birds in all natural areas of the country. These are water and forest, field and city, birds of the tundra and the Arctic. Quite a lot of birds are rare and endangered species, so they are listed in the Red Book. Unfortunately, there are birders who sell birds at zoo markets. Those people who care about the conservation of nature should not buy birds, because otherwise they will finance this criminal and destructive activity for the fauna.
city dwellers
Birds find a home for themselves in various places: both in the thicket of dense forests and in noisy megacities. Some species have adapted to live close to human settlements, and eventually turned into full-fledged inhabitants of cities. They had to change the rhythms of life and diet, find new places for nesting and new materials for their arrangement. Urban birds make up about 24% of the entire avifauna of Eurasia.
In cities, you can find the following types:
Pigeon
Sparrow
Martin
Starling
Wagtail
Redstart
swift
Birds that live in cities make nests in buildings and structures, in the crowns of trees growing in the yards of residential complexes, in squares and parks. In addition to the above species, in various places you can find crows and tits, jays and magpies, black-headed grosbeaks and jackdaws.
water birds

The largest representatives are mandarin ducks and stoners, waders and gulls, loons and coots, kingfishers and scourges, storm petrels and puffins, guillemots and cormorants, ochak guillemots and puffin rhinos.
