Brazil is considered the country with the greatest animal biodiversity in the world, with thousands of species of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, insects and other animals. One of the most common orders are birds, which can be found on all continents in the world, from urban to rural environments, beaches to forests, wild and domesticated species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to data from the Brazilian Ornithological Records Committee, Brazil has 1,971 species of birds, of which 236 are threatened, with different degrees of threat. Because they are found in all four corners of the country and in all biomes, birds can be evaluated as bioindicator species of environmental quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bioindicator species is one that can be related to certain environmental conditions in which it occurs. Some species are typical of urban areas, others occur only in forested areas, some species tolerate human presence more and others do not tolerate interaction with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can use this knowledge to get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow the environment in which we operate is being conserved. We can divide birds as tolerant of human presence and their actions, which often ends up benefiting these tolerant and undemanding species in environmental conditions. We can mention species such as lapwing ( Vanellus chilensis<\/em> ), orange thrush ( Turdus rufiventris<\/em> ), domestic dove ( Columba livia<\/em> ), sparrow ( Passer domesticus<\/em> ) with species that are not very demanding on environmental conditions and that benefit from human action, being easily found in degraded areas and cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, list other species that are more demanding in terms of environmental quality and are not tolerant to major impacts on their natural habitat. Considering the continental dimension of Brazil, we list some species of birds that indicate the good environmental quality of the place where they live, availability of resources, shelter, food and that can be easily recognized:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
