The main objective of this study, conducted from May to October 2013 in Morofé (Yamoussoukro), was to improve the knowledge on the avifauna of rice-growing agroecosystems in central Côte d'Ivoire. The inventories were carried out during the different phenological phases of the rice field from 06: 00 to 10: 00 and from 15: 00 to 18: 00. We identified 84 species of birds, of which 42 species are actually found in rice paddies in Morofé. During the rice cycle, a relative abundance of 2,138 individuals' birds was recorded. Grain-eating birds accounted for 87.09% of the total number of individuals compared to 12.91% of the total number of individuals for species apparently indifferent to rice. The most representative bird species in the rice traps were the Red-eyed Dove Streptopeliasemitorquata (Rüppell, 1837), the village Weaver Ploceus cucullatus (Muller, 1776), the Red-headed Quelea Quelea erythrops (Hartlaub, 1848), the Bronze Mannikin Spermestes cucullata (Swainson, 1837) and the Magpie Mannikin Spermestes fringilloides (Lafresnaye, 1835). The analysis of the results taking in account the phenological phases of rice reveals that the vegetative phase was the richest in number of bird species and the heading phase brought together the largest numbers of birds.
