The present study was conducted to examine the temporal variations that took place in the bird richness and diversity in the Rawalpindi division of Punjab during 2007-2015. Secondary sources of data were utilized for the study. The district-wise data for 12 bird species was obtained from the Zoological Survey of Pakistan, Islamabad and Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi from 2007-2015. The collected data was arranged and tabulated in Microsoft Excel 15 and SPSS 22 and were analyzed for linear regression. The most common bird species found were House Sparrow, Common Quail and House Crow. The declining trend was seen in Shikra, Chukor, and Bank Myna with a more than 50 % reduction in their population during 2007-2015. The results of linear regression showed a strong relationship between bird decline and time. The study suggests a detailed analysis of the possible environmental and anthropogenic factors which played a role in the decline of bird richness in the study area
