List of birds of the Northern Territory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Northern Territory is a territory in Australia, with 448 species of bird recorded.
This list is based on the 1996 classification by Sibley and Monroe (though there has been a recent (2008) extensive revision of Australian birds by Christidis and 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 Northern Territory
- (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Northern Territory
- (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Northern Territory as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
