Detailed Solution

Biodiversity is a measure of variation at the species, genetic, and ecosystem level, and it shows all the variety and variability of life on Earth.

In general, species diversity decreases as we move away from the equator to the poles, and it increases as we move towards the equator from the poles. Colombia is located near the equator and has nearly 1400 species of birds, whereas India, with much of its land in the tropics, has 1200 species of birds. New York, located at 41^o N, has around 105 species of birds, while Greenland, located at 71^o N, has only 56 species of birds.

Hence, the increasing order of biodiversity of species of birds is:

Greenland $<$ New York $<$ India $<$ Columbia.
