This is a list of the bird species recorded in Russia. The avifauna of Russia include a total of 810 species, 3 of which are endemic, 68 species are globally threatened, and 2 species are extinct.
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.[1] The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Accidental species are included in the total species count for Russia.
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 Russia
- (Ext) Extirpated - a species which no longer occurs in Russia, but other populations still exist elsewhere
- (Ex) Extinct - a species which no longer exists
- (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Russia
- (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Russia as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
