• Abstract:

  It is known that birds, as flying species, tend to settle on tree branches, for food, shelter or to build their nests. The intensity of activity varies depending on the hours of the day, being during the morning the moment of greater activity. Its tendency to rest on trees also depends on the type of tree: as if it were implanted, native, fruity, floral, etcetera. The province of Misiones, Argentina has approximately 50% of all the bird wildlife in the country. This data encouraged us to carry out this research monitoring the species of birds that visit the Institute during the morning.The objective of the study was to identify all the species of birds that visited the schoolyards. In addition, it was sought to identify the preference of birds in terms of feeding, rest and others, ie whether they are inclined to gymnosperms (Gymnospermae) or angiosperms (Angiospermae).For this investigation, the method of scientific inquiry was used instead of the classic scientific method to be able to carry out a more simple investigation of understanding for students of medium level and for the public.
