Abstract
Birds inhabiting pine and birch forests, as well as planted pineries, were studied during the years 1995-2006 at the territory and in the vicinity of Kungur (Perm' Territory). The maximal faunistic and biocenotic similarity of the bird population was revealed for pine forests of the city and the region, while the minimal one was revealed in birch forests. It was shown that the anthropogenic action is maximally exhibited in the city birch forests affecting all the investigated parameters of the ornithocenosis: the density of bird population, species diversity and domination.
