The material was the results of field studies in field-protective forest bands located in Central Tuva during 2006, 2016-2018. Of the 22 species found in forest bands, 11 (50%) nest. The most numerous breeding species are Falco tinnunculus, Milvus migrans, Buteo hemilasius, Pica pica. There is a decrease in internal and interspecific competition, which causes a high density of nesting and the formation of group settlements of bird populations.
