In order to determine the value of local or regional landscapes for conservation of birds, it is important to understand the structure and richness of bird communities. The purpose of this review article is to compile information on the diversity and status of avifauna in Uttar Pradesh, particularly in the Patna Bird Sanctuary, that has previously been published. In the state of Uttar Pradesh, there are about 550 different bird species. 5 critically endangered, 3 endangered, 12 vulnerable, and 21 near threatened bird species have also been documented, according to Bird Life International. This protected bird sanctuary is noted for both migratory and resident birds. So far, 180 species have been identified. Based on previous literature and discussions with sanctuary officials, it has been clear over the past few years that anthropogenic activities are reducing avifauna population and species variety. Some important initiatives should be taken together by the forest department and NGO’s to safeguard such hotspot regions in order to preserve the sanctuary's high bird variety.
