Abstract
Urban parks are birds´ refuge, feeding and nesting places. They are, therefore, priority conservation areas. The avifauna richness, abundance and diversity in Centenario, Seminario and San Agustin parks were analyzed through the comparison of variables such as park surface area and bird distribution in vertical vegetation strata for conservation points establishment. Counting point methodology was used and birds were identified using the Aves del Ecuador field guide (Birds of Ecuador). It was determined that Centenario Park showed greater richness, since it registered a total of 20 birds observed; Seminario Park, 17 bird; and San Agustin Park, 7 birds. Three globally threatened species were recorded: Aratinga erythrogenys, Brotogeris pyrrhopterus and Conopias albovittata.
