Abstract

Abstract Although birds are protected on the Agronomic Institute at Belém, and within a forest reserve at Manaus, there is some human destruction of easily located nests in open areas. Both adults and young of a few species are occasionally captured for the cage-bird trade. Populations of most species seem unaffected, but one species of large seedeater has become rare.Sumário É focalizado o efeito do homem em aves e seus ninhos dentro e próximo de duas reservas tropicais. Os resultados demonstraram que a influência do homem na ornitofauna dessas áreas é mínima. As espécies de aves em áreas abertas e plantações foram as mais afetadas. Entretanto, um fringilídeo —o curió —, por ser mais procurado e caçado por seu belo canto, é raro na área estudada em Belém.
