One of the community forest identified as bird habitats is the community forest in Kelungu Village. Besides as timber production, community forest also serve as protection and preservation place of birds diversity. This research necessary because of the lack the data about the diversity of bird species in this area. The purposes of this research was to determine the diversity of bird species in the community forest Kelungu Village, Kotaagung Subdistrict, Tanggamus, Lampung Province.

The second habitat type has (H’2,630) then the third habitat type has (H’= 2,58) were classified moderate. Evenness index in first habitat (J= 0,578) was classified relatively, in second habitat (J= 0,817) and third habitat (J= 0,801) were classified stable. Similarity index (PC I and II = 0,773) and (PC I and III = 0,773) were classified high category, (PC II and III = 1) very high category. Key words: birds, biodiversity, community forest, and Kelungu Village
