Welcome Guest

There are a few ways by which you can help the development of this page

Bird checklists: I am continously working on the distribution data. If you have corrections or additions to make to an existing checklist, or a checklist for a new region not already covered, I'd love to hear from you.

Life-history database: One of the next addition to the page will be information about the birds life-history. I have started to compile information on clutch size, incubation period, survival rates, etc., especially for North American birds, but there is still a long way to go to cover all bird species. Any information that you can provide about life-history will be greatly appreciated.

Translations: This site is already available in several languages, and I am always interested to add new ones. If you are interested to provide a new translation, I can send you an Excel file that contains the text of this site (about 10,000 words). I am also always looking for bird synonyms in other languages.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank everyone who have helped my build Avibase over the years. Although I have made every effort possible to include the names of everyone who helped me in the list below, I apologize in advance to anyone that I may have forgotten. I will gladly add your name if you contact me. On the other hand if, for any reason, you prefer that your name does not appear in this list, please also let me know.
