O conhecimento sobre a reprodução de aves silvestres está em constante evolução com o avanço de novas pesquisas. O número gigantesco de espécies de aves e a dificuldade de acesso aos seus gametas são aspectos complicadores para o estabelecimento de técnicas de reprodução assistida. Aspectos muitos básicos como métodos de coleta de sêmen e as características seminais da grande maioria das aves silvestres são desconhecidos. Essas informações são fundamentais para entender a biologia reprodutiva e planejar programas de multiplicação com o uso de inseminação artificial. Por isso o levantamento das principais particularidades da reprodução de aves silvestres norteará ações para o aprofundamento de pesquisas já realizadas e estímulo ao desenvolvimento de novas metodologias de coleta de sêmen e avaliação seminal em aves silvestres até o momento não estudadas.
Palavras-chave: coleta de sêmen, características seminais, espermatozoide, reprodução assistida.
