Population Analysis and Habitat Characteristics of the Red-rumped Shama (Eos bornea) in the Mount Sirimau Protected Forest, Ambon City
Abstract
This study aims to determine the population density and habitat characteristics of the red parrot (Eos bornea) in the Mount Sirimau Protected Forest area, so that the ecological conditions and sustainability of its habitat can be known as a basis for conservation efforts, where in general the study was conducted using a sampling method through field surveys using line transect techniques combined with the point count method, with observation paths made along 100 meters and an observation width of 20 meters on each transect, and the distance between paths was set at 10 meters to avoid overlapping data, then on each path observation points were determined with 10 meter intervals to record the presence of birds, activities, and the number of individuals seen or heard, observations were carried out in the morning and evening when bird activity was high, meanwhile habitat characteristic data was collected through the creation of sample plots measuring 20 m × 20 m along the observation path to measure environmental variables such as vegetation density, types of food trees, altitude, temperature, and air humidity, so that comprehensive data was obtained regarding the relationship between habitat conditions and the presence of birds, and based on the results of observations that have been made, it was found that the population of the red parrot in the area has an average density of 100 meters. of 6.5 individuals per hectare, which[RE1] shows that the distribution of this species tends to be concentrated in areas with dense vegetation [RE2] and adequate food sources, so it can be concluded that habitat conditions greatly influence the abundance and distribution of the Eos bornea population in the protected forest area.
