List of birds of New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New South Wales is a state in Australia of great biodiversity, with 622 species of bird recorded.
This list is based on the 1996 classification by Charles Sibley and Burt Monroe (though there has been a recent (2008) extensive revision of Australian birds by Leslie Christidis and Walter E. Boles[1]), which has resulted in some lumping and splitting.[2] Their system has been developed over nearly two decades[3] and has strong local support, but deviates in important ways from more generally accepted schemes. Supplemental updates follow The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2022 edition.
The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories.
- (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in New South Wales
- (E) Endemic - a species endemic to New South Wales
- (I) Introduced - a species introduced to New South Wales as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
