| Greater Rhea Rhea americana | NT | resident (-) | present | A1 |
| Solitary Tinamou Tinamus solitarius | NT | resident (-) | present | A1 |
| Helmeted Woodpecker Celeus galeatus | VU | resident (1998) | present | A1 |
| Blue-winged Macaw Primolius maracana | NT | resident (-) | present | A1 |
| Helmeted Manakin Antilophia galeata | LC | resident (-) | present | A3 |
