The birds in Africa occur everywhere from Lake Assal which is 156M below sea level to mt Kilimanjaro at 5,900M above sea level. Birds in Africa play an important social-cultural role through proverbs, riddles, stories and songs. Birds like the Blue swallow (Hirundo atrocaerulea) have been used by communities in western Kenya to predict the weather. Ecologically, birds play an important role as an indicator of the health of the environment because of their responsive to environmental changes
In spite of the value they have to Africa and it's people, birds continue to face a number of threats namely:
