Paper addresses species composition, habitat choice and numbers of birds breeding in the arboreal plantations of the Zhebriyanskaya Gryada. Fourteen habitats were distinguished based on the relief, landscape, type of vegetation and its coverage, exposition and level of human impact. Specificity of the ornithocomplexes, related to these habitats is discussed. Based on the study of natural successions in the arboreal plantations, as well as human influence, a forecast of possible changes in the ornithocomplexes is given with recommendations on the management of the Zhebriyanskaya Gryada.
