The analysis of breeding avifauna changes has been performed on the base of field studies that took place in residential parts of the Lviv city in 2006-2007 and 2017-2018 breeding seasons. Nowadays 84 breeding species were recorded in the Lviv city. The number of local species in bird population significantly decreased from 51 in 2007 to 41 in 2018. It shows the reduction of some species number together with the growth of their diversity (from 73 to 81) and significant increase in population from 443,0 to 581,6 pairs/10 ha. During 12 years 70 species constantly remain in the fauna. Three species disappeared from nesting, and 11 had appeared. Seven of them appeared for the first time: Marsh Tit, Hooded Crow, Hoopoe, Little Bittern, White-backed Woodpecker, Stonechat, Coal Tit. Four came back to the city for nesting after absence in 2006-2007 years: Partridge, Black Woodpecker, Tree Pipit, Pied Flycatcher. The number of 9 species did not change during the period of the study. 29 species demonstrate decrease of the number and 32 - increase. The main reasons of the number changes were divided into 5 groups: 1) changes in geographical scales or the expansion (peculiar for 3 species), 2) synurbization (29 species), 3) general population changes (38 species) і 4) local environmental changes (45 species), 5) unknown reasons (7). Several reasons worked together for 33 species.
