Information about protected birds is included within the Arboretum Doľany.
The Protected Bird Area of the Little Carpathians was established to preserve habitats for bird species of European importance and habitats for migratory bird species, ensuring conditions for their survival and reproduction. It is one of the types of protected areas in a European Union member country called NATURA 2000. The area was declared by the government of the Slovak Republic on June 1, 2005.

Despite the relatively large number of birds in the forest (besides protected species, there are also tits, thrushes, starlings, cuckoos, jays, crows, nightingales, goldfinches, and others), we rarely see them. However, we can hear their chirping well. Why do birds chirp? There are various reasons. Most often to attract females during mating season, but also to mark territory, to soothe females incubating eggs, to express joy, or to warn of danger. Some birds also chirp to teach their offspring how to sing. Each chirp is different. There is also a distinction between the chirping of males and females.
For each protected bird on this page, you can also listen to what its voice sounds like under its picture.
The land registry of Doľany is approximately 70% forested and this area is also part of the Protected Bird Area of the Small Carpathians. Within the Doľany Arboretum on the hill with the church of St. Sebastian, there are panels with information about the protected birds of the PSR MK.
