Breeding season is the most suitable season usually with favorable conditions and abundant food and water when wild animals and birds (wildlife) have evolved to breed to achieve the best reproductive success. Different species of wild animal and birds have different breeding seasons according to their particular requirements and food availability.
Communal breeding
Many species breed in colonies or large communities. It is common to see large congregations of these species in particular favorable locations in their breeding seasons. These breeding colonies and their location are generally protected by wildlife conservation laws to keep the species from going extinct. Some species have evolved for communal breeding in large breeding colonies and can not breed in smaller numbers or pairs alone. These species can be threatened by imminent extinction if they are hunted on their breeding grounds or if their breeding colonies are destroyed. The Passenger pigeon is a famous example of probably the most numerous land bird on the American continent which had evolved for communal breeding that went extinct due to large scale hunting in its communal breeding grounds during the breeding season and its inability to breed in smaller numbers.
Closed season in hunting
Breding season of wildlife is usually what is called the closed season where hunting is permitted and is enforced by law for the conservation of the species and wildlife management.
