List of birds of Bangladesh

This is a list of the bird species recorded in Bangladesh. The avifauna of Bangladesh include a total of 827 species, of which two have been introduced by humans. Fifty-one 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 The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2022 edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Bangladesh.

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 Bangladesh
  • (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Bangladesh as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
  • (Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in Bangladesh although populations exist elsewhere
