This is a list of the bird species recorded in Turkey. The avifauna of Turkey include a total of 495 species, of which 90 have occurred accidentally and 4 have been introduced by humans.
The official checklist of birds of Turkey is maintained by the Turkish Bird Records Committee,[1] which receives and reviews the submitted records via eBird.
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 in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Turkey.
The white-throated kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis), also known as Smyrna kingfisher, was described from Turkey by Linnaeus in 1758.
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 Turkey
(I) Introduced - a species introduced to Turkey as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
(Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in Turkey as a breeding species, although populations exist elsewhere and species can still occur in Turkey as a migrant/accidental
(X) Extinct - a species or subspecies that no longer exists
