Between 1985 and 2004, 91 wild fruit-eating bird species were studied in 11 urban areas of Brazil: 78 of these species were seed dispersers and 13 were seed predators. The most representative families of fruit-eating birds in these areas were: Thraupidae with 46 species, Tyrannidae with 19 species, Psittacidae with 11 species and Turdidae with 6 species. Several of these avian species (or part of their populations) are vagrants or visitors (wanderers) and migrants. At least 19 fleshy-fruiting plant species usually dispersed by birds were found growing spontaneously in urban areas: at least 8 of these were indigenous (autochthonous) to the region in which they were found, and 11 were alien (allochthonous). A total of 383 fleshy-fruiting plan...
