Abstract: Urban green spaces is an important physical part of the urban ecosystem, they are also important habitats and carriers for birds and other animals. Rapid urbanization changed the urban green space pattern, and significantly impacted urban avian community. A lot of researches have been conducted on this subject to explore the influence that the changed the pattern of urban green space on the bird community. According to the formation causes of urban green space pattern, we divided its attributes into three parts: non-biological attributes, biological attributes, human attributes, and we reviewed the related study from these three aspects. Finally, we summarized the works to be done in the future, hoping to be references and guidance for the follow-up studies.
