List of birds of Grenada

The Grenada dove is the national bird of Grenada.

This is a list of the bird species recorded in Grenada. The avifauna of Grenada included a total of 197 species according to Bird Checklists of the World as of July 2022.[1] Of them, one is endemic, six have been introduced by humans, and 127 are rare or accidental. One species on the list has been extirpated and one is probably extinct.

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 highlight several categories of occurrence.

  • (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Grenada
  • (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Grenada
  • (I) Introduced - a species introduced by humans either directly to Grenada or elsewhere in the New World
  • (Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in Grenada although populations exist elsewhere
