Response of Smriti Van's animals to dietary modification and significance of fruit tree afforestation

Abstract

The eating habits of the wildlife living in and around Smriti Van in Jaipur were observed for 15 days in order to determine how they would react when their daily conventional bird feed was changed to include a variety of fruits with varying juice contents. This information was used to further discuss the significance of fruit trees in defending wildlife against the effects of climate change, the environment, and the advantages of fruit tree afforestation. During India's hot month of July, four locations were marked for observation and checked for residue after 30, 60, and 90 minutes. At the end of the experiment, it was discovered that visiting animals preferred high-moisture content foods containing fruits, with the highest mean consumption value of 19.05 after 90 minutes. Animals preferred strawberries, with a mean consumption value of 19.7, followed by pomegranates and maize, with mean consumption values of 19.4 and 19.3, respectively, with an increase in the number of incoming species and amount consumed.
