3) ocotea puberula
4) matayba elaeagnoides
5) morus nigra
6) ficus guaranitica
7) citharexylum myrianthum

Fruits trees which also attracts birds:
(Sorry but most of the names are in portuguese. If necessary look at wikipedia):

acerola
caju
caqui
goiaba
jaboticaba
mamão (papya)
pessego (peach)
pitanga
seriguela

The most popular birds and the easiest ones to be attracted by the plants and fruits trees mentioned above:

chlorophonia cyanea

Plants that attract birds depend on what birds in what areas and climates. American Red Cedar isnt going to attract a parrot from the amazon.
If you google native trees and shrubs for birds within your state, you'll find plants that will work well for you.
