List of birds of the Turks and Caicos Islands information
This is a list of the bird species recorded in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The avifauna of the Turks and Caicos Islands included a total of 234 species according to Bird Checklists of the World as of July 2022.[1] Of them species, five have been introduced by humans and 126 are rare or accidental. One species on the list has been extirpated. Four species are globally threatened.
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 the Turks and Caicos Islands
(I) Introduced - a species introduced directly to the Turks and Caicos Islands or elsewhere in the New world
(Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in the Turks and Caicos Islands although populations exist elsewhere
