The rock dove (Columba livia) is an invasive exotic species, its ability to adapt to various environments has allowed it to nest in any environmental condition and in places similar to its habitat such as trees, roofs, etc. The main problem that the presence of these brings is that they are carriers of different infectious agents of importance for public health and contamination of environments by their excreta due to smell and appearance. The objective of this study is to develop a census of pigeons (Columba livia) through the application of point count and strip transect methods, in urban spaces of Metropolitan Lima. For this, the area of the parks was measured and divided into counting points and strip transects, the evaluation was carried out for 6 days for each method; having a total effort of 12 days per park; with a total of 29 hours for the park located in the Los Olivos district and 30 hours for the one in the Comas district, repeating the census method at 3 different times a day. The data was contrasted using the Mann Whitney U test. in the STATA 15.0 program, with the result that there is no statistically significant difference in the comparison of the two census methods, therefore both methods are equally effective. The method of counting points allows to evaluate in detail the association with the habitat of the pigeons and why they are grouped in a certain sector of the studied area. The strip transect method gives us less effort time. The information from the study allows us to have a reference of the initial population in both parks, being able to establish measures to evaluate the methods of control and reduction of the population by the municipalities.
