Introduction of AABI

The Association of Avian Biologists in India (AABI) was registered on the 3rd April 2018 in Aizawl, Mizoram. The purpose of the society is to provide a common platform to Scientists, Researchers, Faculty members, Students, Bird watchers, and NGOs interested in any aspect of birds ranging from their ecology, physiology, breeding biology, conservation or bird watching.

Biological

Birds are ubiquitous organisms that are popular across cultures, landscapes; and even across research themes. This meeting brings together researchers using birds as a study / model systems to understand various biological phenomena.

Researchers

Researchers from a variety of fields,ranging from physiology, chronobiology, endocrinology, behaviour, behavioural ecology,bioacoustics,ecology, evolutionary biology, and bird watchers can be a part of this society.

About

Aim of the society is to bring awareness about the bird and its biological significance among the general public and to motivate about their conservation.
