On the Relationship Between Birdstrikes and Airport Avian Community

In order to know the relationship between birdstrikes and avian community,A survey was conducted on avian community distributed in three types of habitats in Jiangbei Airport and nearby areas from March,2010 to February,2011. Analysis was made of the avian community and the bird-strike species during 2009 to 2013 at Jiangbei Airport. The results showed that the similarity index of avain communities and bird-strike species were very low,the grouping birds in the airfield area tended to be the high threatening birds,such as Alauda gulgula,Hirundo rustica,Hirundo daurica,Columba domestica,Passer montanus,etc. The high-density birds such as swallows,sparrows,pigeons etc. would go into the airfield area, thue being the highly threatening birds,but the typical shrub forest birds such as the Pycnonotus sinensis, Garrulax sannio,grosbeak etc. normally would not go into the airfield area,they couldn't be the bird-striking birds. The migration birds were the most threatening species at the Jiangbei Airport. Based on the results,some mitigation measures were put forward for reducing birdstrikes at the end of this paper.
