The avian community structure of Xianning city was investigated by line transect method in the spring of 2017. The avian community structure was investigated in four habitat types, the total 3 865 avian was recorded which belonged to 9 orders,28 families and 73 species,the Passeriformes were dominant group accounting for 75.34%,they included 39 resident species that were main elements of the community. Light-vented Bulbul and White-browed laughing thrush were the common dominant species. The maximum quantity of species was in mixed broadleaf forest(52 species), the maximum avian density was in farmland(63.412 ind/hm2), both the minimum density and least species were in bamboo forest(17 species, 14.417 ind/hm2). The Shannon-Wiener index was farmland(2.700)>mixed forest(2.471)>broad-leaved evergreen forests(2.349)>bamboo forest(1.739)(F3,11=11.245,P=0.003),the bamboo forest was the lowest(F3,11=24.320,P=0.001). The Evenness index was approximately equal among habitats(F3,11=0.246,P=0.862). The Dominance index was significantly different(F3,11=4.516,P=0.039),the maximum index was in the evergreen broad-leaf forest(0.478)(F1,11=7.593,P=0.021),the bamboo forest was the least(0.386)(F1,11=6.133,P=0.033). The community similarity index was the highest between the mixed forest and evergreen broad-leaved forest(0.611), and the least between the farmland and bamboo forest(0.295). The avian community was influenced by the plant spatial configuration and species,presented a certain diversity and similarity in different habitats in Xianning city. Meantime,the dominant species was the associated species because of the effects of human activities.
