This is a list of the bird species recorded in Antigua and Barbuda. The avifauna of Antigua and Barbuda included a total of 204 species, according to Bird Checklists of the World as of July 2022.[1] Of them, five have been introduced by humans and 132 are rare or accidental. One species on this list is endemic and three have been extirpated.
This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 63rd Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS).[2] Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list, except that the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them.
The following tags have been used to categorise some species:
(A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Antigua and Barbuda
(E) Endemic - a species endemic to Antigua and Barbuda
(I) Introduced - a species introduced to Antigua and Barbuda as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
(Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in Antigua and Barbuda although populations exist elsewhere
