This work aimed to determine the richness of the avifauna of the Municipal Park of Sabiá, urban perimeter of the municipality of Uberlândia (Brazil), and also to evaluate possible differences in composition among the several landscapes in the study area. The work was accomplished from July 2000 to November 2002, including at least one month of observation in the period of the morning (7:00-11:00) and totalling 33 visits (334 hours). The registrations were made along a transect that crossed different landscapes. A total of 149 species distributed in 16 orders, 38 families and 131 genders were recorded. Five species of endemic birds of the Cerrado were present in the survey: Herpsilochmus longirostris, Hylocryptus rectirostris, Antilophia galeata, Cyanocorax cristatellus and Basileuterus leucophrys. Most of the birds (80%) were classified as residents or probable residents in the Park. The main alimentary guilds were insectivorous (n = 52; 35%), omnivorous (n = 46; 31%) and frugivorous (n = 13; 9%). All areas were considered similar and had a Sorensen index above 0.80, probably associated with the proximity and connectivity of the investigated areas. The results indicate that the Park of Sabiá can be considered an important location for the maintenance of the regional avifauna.
