Emphasizing the biodiversity of the delta, which hosts many bird species, Güler stated, "It is known that there are 500 bird species in Türkiye. The Kızılırmak Delta is an extremely important area in terms of bird presence. A total of 365 bird species have been identified in the area so far, which corresponds to approximately 75% of the bird species in Türkiye. The Kızılırmak Delta holds a significant position for the breeding, wintering, and migration of birds. The delta has a very special place in terms of the bird species and densities detected in the region it represents."
