Abstract

Bird observations had been conducted in the Gunung Walat Education Forest on July 17th and 18th, the Botanical Garden (Bogor) on August 18th, and the Aboretum of the Faculty of Forestry on July 22nd, 1988. The direct observations had found a variety of birds that usually live on the forest floor and in bushes, in the middle canopy and the upper canopy. At the Botanical Garden (Bogor) we found 3 individuals of coppersmith barbet (Megalaima haemacephala), which are already rare in Java, mainly in West Java. Incidentally, observation on the nest box in the Arboretum we found the Flat-tailed Flying Squirrel (Petinomys sagitta) in one of the nest boxes.
