Abstract
A field survey on birds forming part of the wildlife inventory organized by PERHILITAN was conducted for four consecutive days at Penang National Park on 28 June to 1 July 2011. Two methods namely 20-species list and point count were conducted along the 3.3 km designated transect. A total of 43 species from 19 families represented by all five main diet groups namely carnivorous 9.5 (N5) frougivorous 21.4 (N9) omnivorous 26.2 (N11) insectivorous 31 (N13) and nectarivorous 11.9 (N5). Three species are near threatened. The point count yielded a conservative density estimate of 83 997 birds per km2 in the study area. However due to the limited survey time this figure is probably an underestimation.
