Abstract: Tadoba Andheri Tiger Reserve (henceforth, TATR) is one of the 50 Project Tiger areas of India. Even thoughsporadic documentations of its Avifaunal diversity have been recordedin recent years, but a thorough meticulous and scientific documentation of its Avifaunal community based on food and habitat is lacking. We have documented the feeding preferences of the avian communityof TATR in the context of habitat diversity. According to the availability of food, total 95 species of birds were studied in the study area that belonged to 43 families. The studied avian species were divided into 8basic habitats-aquatic, aquatic-terrestrial, terrestrial, arboreal, arboreal-terrestrial, aerial, aerial-arboreal andaerial-terrestrial. The species thus obtained based on the 8 different habitat niches were then broken down on the based on their feeding preferences. The aquatic niche included7 feeding guilds [.....
