The total number was about 1757.1 pairs/km2. House Sparrow and Barn Swallow are the dominants. The majority of birds nesting in villages belong to the European and Transpalearctic types of the fauna, to the nemoral and desert-mountains landscape-genetics faunistics complexes, to the dendrophilous and sclerophyllaus ecological groups, to the entomophagous and phytophagous trophic groups.
