The scarlet macaw is the national bird of Honduras.
The birds of Honduras included a total of 798 species as of June 2023, according to La Asociación Hondureña de Ornitología (ASHO).[1] Between that date and August 2021, an additional 30 species have been added from Bird Checklists of the World[2] and one as a result of a split.[3]
Of the 797 species listed here, one of them, the Honduran emerald, is endemic. Fifty-four are rare or accidental and five have been introduced by humans. Five species are hypothetical (see below) and a few have insufficient information to classify. Some of the "hypothetical" species have more recent eBird records with photographs. Two species have possibly been extirpated. Sixteen species are globally vulnerable or endangered.[4]
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).[3] 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.
Unless otherwise noted, the species on this list are considered to occur regularly in Honduras as permanent residents, summer or winter visitors, or migrants. The following tags are used by ASHO to highlight several categories of occurrence.
(A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Honduras
(E) Endemic - a species endemic to Honduras
(I) Introduced - a species introduced to Honduras as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
(H) Hypothetical - a species recorded but with no tangible evidence such as a photograph, according to the ASHO
(?) Insufficient information - appended to a tag or note because of uncertainty
