Abstract

ABSTRACT According to Dias (2006) Bird communities are groups of individuals of several species who live together in the same space and time. Complex and heterogeneous vegetation structures will increase diversity in a habitat, which is thought to increase the diversity of birds in a community. The purpose of this study was to study bird communities in Gunung Masarang Protection Forest, Tomohon City. The study was conducted in June to July 2018 in the Mount Masarang Protection Forest.
