This work focuses on the avian biodiversity inventory of the city of Bunia. The bird specimens were obtained by the Capture-Marking-Recapture (CMR) method using the Japanese net trapping technique. A total of 5 nets (3 m wide, 8.5 m long and 35 mm mesh) were used and observations with the naked eye completed the sampling. Fieldwork was done every Sunday; the nets were installed online. They remained in place for eight hours and the readings were made every 2 hours between 08:00 and 16:00. This study leads to a census of 53 species of birds. Spatially, 29 species are constant and 24 accessories. The Shalom University concession (S2) has a high specific richness (45 species), followed by the Pan-African Higher Institute of Community Sciences (S4) and the Grand Seminary (S1) (22 species each). Temporarily, 30 species are constant and 23 accessories. The first rainy season offers a high specific percentage (34.5%), followed by the second rainy season (27.4%) and the first dry season has a low percentage (15%). The Shalom University concession has a high number of individuals caught and species recaptured. The same concession (S2) offers a high number of individuals (349 out of 756) observed. The first rainy season also offers a high number of individuals (349) observed, followed by the second rainy season (127 individuals).

Abstract: (french)
Ce travail porte sur l’inventaire de la biodiversité aviaire de la ville de Bunia. Les spécimens d’oiseaux ont été obtenus par la méthode des Capture-Marquage-Recapture (CMR) en utilisant la technique de piégeage au filet japonais. Au total, 5 filets (3 m de largeur, 8,5 m de longueur et de 35 mm des mailles) ont été utilisés et des observations à l’œil nu ont complétées l’échantillonnage. Les travaux de terrain se faisaient chaque dimanche ; les filets étaient installés en ligne. Ils restaient en place pendant huit heures et les relevés se faisaient toutes 2 heures entre 08h00 et 16h00. Cette étude conduit à un recensement de 53 espèces d’oiseaux. Spatialement, 29 espèces sont constantes et 24 accessoires. La concession de l’Université Shalom (S2) présente une richesse spécifique élevée (45 espèces), suivie de l’Institut Supérieur Panafricain de Sciences Communautaire(S4) et du Grand Séminaire(S1) (22 espèces chacune). Temporellement, 30 espèces sont constantes et 23 accessoires. La première saison pluvieuse offre un pourcentage spécifique élevé (34,5%), suivie de deuxième saison pluvieuse (27,4%) et la première saison sèche a un faible pourcentage (15%). La concession de l’Université Shalom présente un nombre d’individus capturés et espèces recapturés élevé. La même concession (S2) offre un nombre élevé d’individus (349 sur 756) observés. La première saison pluvieuse offre aussi un nombre élevé d’individus (349) observés, suivie de la deuxième saison pluvieuse (127 individus).
