The Peruvian Amazon boasts a vast diversity of birds. In Loreto alone, there are approximately 1040 species, with some of them categorized as threatened. This research was conducted between May and June 2023 with the aim of sighting, recording, and identifying the diversity of bird species present on the campus of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Alto Amazonas and its surroundings. Direct observation, auditory methods, and playback were employed using equipment such as binoculars, a digital camera, and a speaker for birdwatching. A total of 58 bird species were identified, grouped into 14 orders and 28 families. The Passeriformes order was the most abundant, followed by the Psittaciformes. The presence of a parrot roost near the campus and four species of interest for birdwatching tourism and nature photography, Passer domesticus (an introduced species), Thlypopsis sordida, Galbalcyrhynchus leucotis, and Chlorestes cyanus were documented. It is concluded that a comprehensive study is needed to identify the species inhabiting the city of Yurimaguas and its surroundings.
