Abstract

We present records of beak deformity in Yellow-fronted Woodpecker (Melanerpes flavifrons) and Southern House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Reports of birds with anomalies in their beaks in the wild are essential for the conservation of species, as the causative factors are not yet properly understood and may be linked to the environmental quality in which the birds live.
