Paired sample t-test shows that, the overall mean abundance of bird population between dry and wet seasons from all studied habitats was significantly difference (t = −66.108, P ≤ 0.001, dƒ = 6). Wet season mean of bird abundance was higher (872 ± 6.325) than mean of abundance during dry season (719 ± 5.533 (Table 3).
