Abstract
Birds constitute a zoological group which is considered to be a good indicator of balance and biological diversity. The aim of this study was to investigate the birds of the region on Tamanresset which is situated in the south of Algeria and has an area of 554.000 km2. Direct observations with camera and a pair of binoculars, supported by ornithological surveys carried out by progressive frequently sampling, in each stations of study area, 44 bird species were observed in this region which fall into 12 orders and 24 families. Among these species, 3 new observations recorded for the 1st time belonging to White-rumped Seedeater (Crithagra leucopygia) and blue-napped mousebird (Urocolius macrourus) along with 2 other species, the rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri) and the African silver bill (Euodice cantans), are listed as an expansion in this region.

The ornithology has enriched the list of Algerian bird species with several new species and confirmed the presence of others such us: Western reef heron (Telailia et al, 2018), Eurasian penduline tit (Telailia et al, 2020), western Reef Heron, rustic bunting (Djemadi et al, 2018), Moltoni's Warbler
Summary
Birds constitute a zoological group which has been the subject of a large number of studies. This class of vertebrates is well known and considered to be good indicators of balance and biological diversity. Algerian ornithology has undergone significant technical, organizational and institutional changes and is in the process of modifying profoundly the modalities of scientific production and reconfiguring the relationship that amateur naturalist have with the scientific world. The ornithology has enriched the list of Algerian bird species with several new species and confirmed the presence of others such us: Western reef heron (Telailia et al, 2018), Eurasian penduline tit (Telailia et al, 2020), western Reef Heron (telailia et al, 2018), rustic bunting (Djemadi et al, 2018), Moltoni's Warbler. Located 1,900 km southeast of the coast, on the other hand, the works on avifauna frequenting this region on a temporary or permanent basis are sorely lacking, apart from a few rare published notes (Belbachir, 2000)
