 Australian bird list This list includes those species of birds that have been recorded from the Australian mainland, Tasmania, island territories and surrounding waters. It is based on 'The Taxonomy and Species of Birds of Australia and its Territories' by Leslie Christidis and Walter E. Boles (1994. Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union Monograph 2). To it have been added any new species for which records have been accepted by the Records Appraisal Committee of Birds Australia. It omits records of vagrant species not yet accepted, ship-assisted species, introduced species that were established but are now extirpated and species cited in the literature that are now not accepted. No attempt has been made to incorporate taxonomic revisions subsequent to Christidis and Boles; that list is currently being revised and any changes will be reflected here when it is published. All species without a superscript have been recorded from the mainland, Tasmania or surrounding waters, either breeding or as regular migrants. Species that are mainly reported from, or occur only on, island territories are marked with the appropriate regional superscript:
