    Bird Communities were studied on two islands of the central Nicobar, namely Teressa (Large) and Bompuka (Small) between 16th December 2016 and 15thApril 2017. • This study aimed to understand the patterns in avian assemblages on these islandsand further understand the nature of interaction between Red-whiskered Bulbul and the Nicobar Bulbul • 4 major habitats were identified viz Primary forest, Secondary forest, Plantations, and Grassland based on an exhaustive reconnaissance survey • In total 110 point counts were conducted within these habitats on both the islands • 56 bird species belonging to 30 families were recorded during the study. Teressa had higher species richness than Bompuka • Bird assemblage on Bompuka was a complete subset of Teressa and nested ness was found to be significant (p
