Abstract
: Pakistan has a varied bird fauna, with over 790 species recorded and their distribution in three zoogeographical zones (Oriental, Palearctic, and Ethiopian), which is exceptional in the world. The data on avian diversity and abundance in the district Okara, Punjab was carried out from January 2022 to January 2023. Data were collected by direct, indirect, and flocks count methods on four transect points used in the study by visiting the field and by interviewing the local people and hunters about the current and past status of the avian fauna of the area. Okara district contains a major wetland for both local and international migratory birds, including falcons, gulls, plovers, snipes, waders
