Birds in Thailand

127 species listed · birdwatchers' records, 2019–2024

Our list for Thailand has 127 bird species recorded regularly there: 32 residents, 5 summer visitors, 68 winter visitors, 16 passage migrants and 6 scarce visitors.

The list comes from 4.9 million birdwatchers' records from 2019–2024, shared through the eBird Observation Dataset on GBIF. A bird is listed when it was recorded in at least 3 of the 6 years and has a Birdfact species guide, so more species occur here than are listed; the months show when it is recorded most years.
