Wetlands are high biodiversity ecosystems. The wetlands of Benjamin Aceval City harbor a high number bird species. However there are few studies about the ornithofauna that inhabits the peri-urban wetlands.

A total of 272 species of birds were identified, belonging to 55 families, with the order of Passeriformes being most abundant.
