This is a list of the bird species recorded in Nepal. The Avicenna of Nepal includes a total of 900 species, of which 2 are endemic, 1 has been introduced by humans, and 74 are rare or accidental. 32 species are globally threatened.
This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families, and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of Clement's 5th edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflects this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Nepal.
The following tags have been used to highlight certain relevant categories. The commonly occurring, native, species do not fall into any of these categories.
  • (A) Accidental A species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Nepal.
  • (E) Endemic A species endemic to Nepal.
  • (I) Introduced A species introduced to Nepal as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions.
