This document summarizes a study on the habitats and distribution of birds in Singapore's urban environment. It describes the natural and urban habitats of three bird species - Javan mynah, feral pigeon, and Oriental pied hornbill - and where sightings of each were recorded in the city. The Javan mynah and feral pigeon were found to be well-adapted to urban areas, with widespread and varied distributions, while sightings of the Oriental pied hornbill were largely limited to forests and parks. The study aims to identify which urban habitat types different bird species prefer.

During the six-month research in the area of the Ribnica quarry, performed in 2012 by the members of the Ornithological Society "Naše ptice", 76 bird species were registered. Since the birds are the best indicators of the overall state of the environment, it is necessary to repeat the researches and gather the additional information on bird fauna of Ribnica quarry and its immediate surroundings, in order to create the basis for bird monitoring programs, their protection and public education about the natural values of this area. The monitoring should enable the proper planning of the future operations within the quarry, without endangering bird habitats and survival in the area.
The project will include daytime and nighttime surveys (direct observation, identification by calls and sounds), and the development of document on status of this area's bird fauna. The special attention will be given to the species included in Annex I of the Birds Directive and Annexes II and III of the Bern and Bonn conventions. As the practical part of the bird protection, it is planned to set up the nesting boxes and bird houses in the vicinity of the quarry.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Birds Selected
For Study
The Javan Mynah and the
Feral Pigeon are generally
well-suited to the urban
environment - while the
Oriental Pied-Hornbill is not.
9. Javan Mynah is a glossy black
bird with a yellow bill and white
patches, native to Java, Bali, and
nearby islands.
In their natural habitat, Javan Mynahs can be found in
primary and secondary forests, as well as in open areas
such as grasslands, agricultural lands, and scrublands.
They can also be found in urban areas such as parks,
gardens, and residential neighborhoods.

10. The Feral Pigeon, also known as
the Rock Pigeon, is a common
bird found in cities worldwide,
known for its adaptability and
pigeonholing behavior.
The Feral Pigeon's natural habitat is rocky cliffs, coastal
regions, and urban areas, where they can find ample food
and shelter. They are highly adaptable and have been
able to colonize cities worldwide, often roosting on
buildings and feeding on human scraps. They are
considered a pest in some areas.

challenges such as climate
change and urbanization.
12. Spatial
Approach
I looked at the different
kinds of ‘Urban Habitats’ -
and tried to figure out where
the birds in Singapore live.
I assumed that birds in the
study would prefer low
density urban areas - based
on personal observation
24. ● Some birds species (javan mynah) are spread evenly
across the urban landscape - even
non-residential/industrial zones
● Some birds (feral pigeons) live close to
residential/high density areas
● Some birds (hornbill) tend to exclusively stick to
forested areas or dense urban parks
● Very few birds are spotted in high density commercial
zones - except near open squares and parks
● Low density zones seem to not be very popular among
the birds studied - against initial assumption
Conclusions
