Overview

Field surveys show how bird feeding behavior affects flight safety at Douala International Airport, suggesting strategies to mitigate risks.

Key Points

  • The study aims to investigate how bird feeding behavior at Douala International Airport impacts flight safety.
  • Conducted regular field surveys around the airport
  • Observed bird species and their feeding behavior over different times and seasons
  • Documented specific feeding behaviors and habitat interactions
  • Village weaver and black-crowned waxbill showed the highest presence at 21.2% and 19.7%, respectively.
  • Significant correlations were found between climatic conditions and bird activity levels (r=0.143, P<0.05).
  • Management practices can reduce bird activity, potentially enhancing flight safety.
