List of birds of Victoria

Victoria is a state in Australia, with 527 species of bird recorded.

This list is based on the 1996 classification by Sibley and Monroe (though there has been a recent (2008) extensive revision of Australian birds by Christidis and Boles^[1]), which has resulted in some lumping and splitting.^[2] Their system has been developed over nearly two decades^[3] and has strong local support, but deviates in important ways from more generally accepted schemes. Supplemental updates follow The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2022 edition.

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 Victoria
(I) Introduced - a species introduced to Victoria as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
