The nesting birds have been poorly studied in the anthropogenic Kur-Araz plain of Azerbaijan. The first researches about ornithofauna investigation aren’t favourable to the international standard. In this connection the ornithofauna of the Kur-Araz plain has been investigated and the nesting birds’ bioecological indications have been analysed over 13 parameters. The ornithological characters of the zone are analyzed, a theoretical and practical importance is evaluated, and this assumes a great importance for realization of the tactical measures preparation to protect biological diversity.
