The area is home to rare bird species, including five that can only be found in this part of the world. Some of the sighted bird species include: Grey-breasted spurfowl, Rufous-tailed weaver, Usambiro Barbet, Grey-Crested helmet-shrike, and other special birds are easy to spot in this restricted area, including Grey-breasted spur fowl, which is commonly seen around Seronera Area in the central Serengeti, Rufous-tailed weaver, Usambiro Barbet, Grey-Crested helmet-shrike, and others. Since the majority of the bird species are permanent inhabitants, there are just a few migratory birds that come to the park for breeding during particular times of the year. The park's environment has aided the uncommon bird species' ability to leave in good conditions. The many bird species seen in the park are attributable to the park's diverse plant cover. The vegetation of the savannah, which includes open grasslands, riverine vegetation, and forest. The diverse vegetation attracts a variety of bird species, making it an excellent birding target.
