The Psittacidae family faces extinction risk due to habitat destruction and illegal trade. This study sought to record psittacine species in the Tambopata National Reserve and discuss their conservation. A transect sampling was carried out, walking and visually recording the species every kilometer. Sixteen psittacine species in 12 genera were identified, including macaws, parrots, parakeets and parakeets. Of these species, 10 are of Least Concern (LC), 2 are Near Threatened (NT) and 1 species (Primolius couloni) is Vulnerable. Pionus menstruus and Amazona ochrocephala have not yet been assessed by the IUCN. These results demonstrate the existence of endangered Psittaciformes species in Madre de Dios, Peru.
