This paper comparatively studies and analyses the ecological characteristics of four species belonging to the order Coraciiformes (Coracias garrulus, Alcedo atthis, Merops apiaster, Merops persicus) that are widely distributed in Uzbekistan. Additionally, the frequency, feeding behaviour, nesting station distribution, unique reproductive cycles, economic importance, distribution areas, and dynamics of these species are thoroughly presented. By identifying the mutual similarities and differences in the ecological characteristics of these species, the paper aims to contribute their conservation and in urgent cases, the management of their behaviour. Notably, in recent years, the illegal hunting of Merops apiaster and Merops persicus species, belonging to the genus Merops, to mitigate the damage caused to bee farms and the destruction of their nests has negatively impacted other species within the genus.
