In order to explore the migration and breeding characteristics of rare birds such as the oriental white stork (Ciconia boyciana) in Heilongjiang Province and the key factors affecting the birds-caused fault of power line, and to explore the solution of power line’s bird-related faults based on the characteristics of the breeding grounds, we investigated the information of birds-caused fault of power line and oriental white stork nesting in the towers of Heilongjiang Province on the basis of summarizing the relevant research on migration and breeding habits of migratory birds in recent years, and we provide a strategy for preventing birds-caused faults in power lines based on the migration and breeding habits of the oriental white stork in Heilongjiang Province. The results of the study show that: Towers near migratory routes of migrating birds and in food-rich areas are more susceptible to bird-caused faults; in recent years, the change of migratory routes of migratory birds due to the influence of environment and climate has led to the expansion of the occurrence of bird faults, and the selection of bird control strategies for different regions involving in the migration is also very different. For the bird-caused faults of power lines in Heilongjiang, it is recommended to adopt differentiated bird prevention strategies, which are adjusted for different points of the tower, daily activity rhythms of adult and juvenile birds, and breeding and brooding patterns of birds. The results of this study can be used as a reference for the selection of bird protection strategies for power lines in the vicinity of migratory routes of migratory birds.
