Abstract: The present study was carried out to know about the nesting patterns or nesting behaviour of different bird species from July 2019- April 2020 at 10 different selected sites in and around Jhalawar. During the study total 137 nests of 18 species belonging to 15 families were observed. Three types of nesting sites were observed used by birds for nest building. Most of the species (n=80) built nests on trees; (n=30) in building spaces (Roof, hole, wall crevice, intersecting corner of building), ventilator (n=27) in electrical pillar, electrical box or air condition box. Total eight different type of nesting pattern was observed during the study. This study provides the information for building artificial nests according to the species, which will help in increasing the birds breeding success.
