Summary
The abundance of birds in a plantation of Eucalyptus botryoides was compared with that in an adjacent natural forest of mixed-age E. dives. Six species were significantly more common in the plantation and nine species significantly more common in the natural forest. Bird species diversity was slightly higher in natural forest. The foraging composition of species differed in the two areas, with more hawking species and fewer bark- and branch-gleaning, granivorous, frugivorous and nectarivorous species in the plantation area. Some species were more common in the interior of the plantation than at the plantation edges.
