List of birds of Kerala
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The state of Kerala, India, has 567 bird species within its boundaries.
This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of the IOC World Bird List, version 11.2. This list also uses British English throughout. Any bird names or other wording follows that convention. The species list and English names are entirely based on the Checklist of Birds of Kerala[1] published in November 2015.
The following tag has been used to highlight accidental species. The commonly occurring native species do not fit within this category.
- (A) Accidental - Also known as a rarity, it refers to a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Kerala-typically less than ten confirmed records.
