The invention discloses a testing method for bird species conservation priority, which can solve the problems of bird species protection status and priority, realize the sequencing of the bird species conservation priority, provide specific protection priority indexes, and thus enhance the availability and comparability of bird species in conservation value assessment of natural reserves. Birds are common indicators and indicator species in the conservation value assessment of the natural reserves, but the protection priority status and sequence are still not represented effectively, directly and quantitatively and thus cannot be applied in the conservation value assessment of the natural reserves. Therefore, the protection priority status of various bird species can be quantified in the form of indicators so as to be effectively applied in the conservation value assessment of the natural reserves.
