This study reports on the bird species sampled within the riparian and lowland forest at the UiTM-PERHILITAN Research Station Kuala Keniam Taman Negara Pahang. Birds were sampled by utilizing standard mist nets dimensions 2.5 m x 9 m and 3 m x 14 m. Nineteen families comprising 55 species were recorded. The Pycnonotidae 25.1 11 taxa and the Nectariniidae 18.5 4 taxa were the two most abundant families. The latter however had larger individuals per species of birds. The Shannon-Weiner index H; 3.47 the Margalef;s Diversity Index D 9.72 and the Evenness Index J;0.87 were high suggesting high bird diversity. The study indicates that the forest habitats of Kuala Keniam are important bird areas and that further studies on the habitat use by the birds should be conducted.
