The objective of the present study was to assess the avian diversity and its spatial variation at four different locations of Indore city viz. Meghdoot Garden, Nehru Park, Lalbagh and Pipliyapala Regional Park. A yearly survey of avian fauna was carried out from January to December 2018 by adopting line transect and point count method.A total of 58 bird species belonging to 13 order and 34 families were recorded during the present study. The highest number of avian fauna was recorded in Pipliyapala Regional Park (58), followed by Lalbagh (41), then Meghdoot Garden(39) and the least number was 34 at Nehru Park. Order Passeriformes was found to be dominant in the study. Furthermore, family Columbidae was dominant having 8% contribution in Meghdoot Garden. Similarly, Muscicapidae was 12% in Nehru Park and Lalbagh each and family Muscicapidae was 10% dominant in Regional Park.
