Abstract
As part of a study initiated in summer 2006 to document seasonal variations in bird species and numbers, the WCS Ecosystem Health Team visited the Ka Farushi bird market of Kabul during winter 2006. Along with identifying the bird species for sale and estimating their numbers and health status, the Team also questioned shopkeepers on the origins and destinations of the birds, helping to build up a picture of wild bird trade routes across the region.
