About World Bird Index

World Bird Index Is a site where you can search the classifications and names of birds in the world.

Currently, about 11,160 species of birds are recorded in the world. The classification of birds has also been greatly reviewed, based on the results of DNA analysis in the past 10 years.

This site uses the latest IOC World Bird List to extract bird classifications and names by Japanese names, scientific names, and English names and make them available.

As well as a bird name index, please utilize it for the bird name database etc. at the time of field note and life list making.

Site operation and contact information

Use of the bird name data

The bird name data in the World Bird Index is based on the IOC World Bird List, with Uchida adding Japanese name classifications (orders, families, and genera).

As a rule, search results are freely available, but when using in research papers or works, please specify the name of this site and the IOC World Bird List as the reference source.
