Native birds are species that naturally occur in a specific region without human introduction. They have adapted to the local environment, including its climate, vegetation, and food sources. These birds play essential roles in their ecosystems, such as pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control. In many areas, native birds are crucial for maintaining biodiversity. They often have unique behaviors and characteristics that help them thrive in their habitats. Protecting native bird populations is important for ecological balance and can be supported through conservation efforts and habitat preservation, ensuring that species like the California Condor or Kea continue to flourish.
