  This list's taxonomic treatment and nomenclature follow the conventions of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2019 edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for China.
  The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories.
  Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in China
  Endemic - a species native or restricted to China
  (I) Introduced - a species introduced to China as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
  Extirpated - a species no longer found in China but found elsewhere
