The aim is to characterize the processes and agents involved in the accumulation, dispersal, and destruction of modern bird skeletal remains. Observations were conducted using transects carried out in five environmental contexts: seacoast, hill ranges, shallow lakes, plains, and river valleys. The results show varying accumulations of bird remains in the different environments, found more frequently in seacoast and hills environments. The main agents and processes affecting bone remains are carnivores, weathering, and sedimentary abrasion. The chances of bone preservation vary depending on the bird species and its mode of locomotion. In general, the chances of the incorporation of avian reamains into the archaeological record are low. This research represents an initial effort to aid in the understanding of the scarce representation of avian remains in the regional archaeological record. Se presentan los resultados de observaciones tafonómicas naturalistas sobre restos de aves en el sudeste de la región pampeana. El objetivo general es caracterizar a los procesos y agentes que intervienen en la acumulación, dispersión y destrucción de los restos óseos de aves actuales. Las observaciones se efectuaron mediante transectas realizadas en cinco contextos ambientales: costa marina, sierras, lagunas, planicies y valles fluviales. Los resultados muestran una acumulación variable de restos de aves en los distintos ambientes, con una mayor frecuencia en la costa marina y en las sierras. Los principales agentes y procesos que afectan a los restos óseos son los carnívoros, la meteorización y la abrasión sedimentaria. Las  probabilidades de preservación de los huesos varían en relación con el tipo de ave según su modo de locomoción. En general, las chances de incorporación de restos de aves al registro arqueológico son bajas. Este trabajo constituye un primer avance para ayudar a la interpretación de la escasa representación de las aves en el registro arqueológico regional.
