| Descripción: | Introduction: Urbanization has affected the materials available for bird nesting, including anthropogenic materials that may be dangerous to the birds. Objective: To quantify the materials used by several bird species in an urbanized environment. Methods: We evaluated the composition of 20 nests in the campus of Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica. Results: 53% of nests contained anthropogenic waste, classified in 13 types; the most common were wool, strings and thread. The species with the highest percentage of anthropogenic nest weight was Campylorhynchus rufinucha. Conclusion: There is a widespread use of anthropogenic materials to nest in these urban Costa Rican birds. |
