Sumario:A compilation of the information on pseudoscorpions recorded from birds' nests is presented. Species and families of birds, and specimens, species and families of pseudoscorpions involved worldwide are given. 14 families (63 genera with 85 species) of Pseudoscorpiones were found in birds' nests, of which the Chernetidae is ranked first, with 22 genera and 35 species. Only 45 families of birds have been recorded as hosts worldwide, represented by a total of 98 species and a certain number of unidentified taxa. Geographical origin of these records reflects collecting efforts of individuals and gives no precise indication on the biological association between these two groups.
