ABSTRACT

As a significant bird collection, Mandai Bird Paradise (formerly Jurong Bird Park) is the largest bird park in Asia. ArcGIS pro and R package helped to explain the habitats and abundance of pigeons and doves inside this park. A day-long visit dated 28 September 2025 provided information about these pigeons and doves. From 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. (Singapore time), following 17 types of pigeons and doves have been observed with their feeding time and interaction with visitors. Based on the number of pigeons and doves and their habitats, results were not significant (p = 0.9574), so there were no significant differences between two major habitats (tree and ground) sharing in pigeons and doves. Highest percentages on the basis of tree sharing were 0.74% at Mandai Bird Paradise. Binomial test is not suitable here because in the same community available pigeons and doves were not significantly different from a hypothesized population. Data were not in normal distribution due to observed small population, so within pigeons-doves, specific species were not observed frequently. In nature, due to hunting and pet-trade, pigeons and doves are decreasing, so this type of bird park could play a significant role to reintroduce these birds for ecological balance.
