Abstract
This research aims to determine the types and distribution of birds in the Sultan Babullah International Airport area, Ternate City. The research was conducted on January 9-20 2023. Data analysis used the IPA method (Index Pontualle de'Abondance). The research results showed that the types of birds found during the research were 9 species from 7 families.
