context_page_description: This is a list of the bird species recorded in the Cayman Islands. The avifauna of the Cayman Islands included a total of 261 species, according to Bird Checklists of the World as of December 2019. Of them, 157 are rare or accidental and nine are introduced. One species was endemic to the islands but is now extinct, and one species has been extirpated. One additional introduced species which appears to be established has been added through eBird.
  BirdLife International has reclassified Grand Cayman's endemic Cuban bullfinch subspecies as a full species, the Grand Cayman bullfinch, but Clements has not yet accepted this. In addition, the islands hold most of the world population of vitelline warbler which otherwise occurs only on the Swan Islands in Honduras. There are 17 endemic subspecies belonging to 14 different species.
  This list's taxonomic treatment and nomenclature are those of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2019 edition.
  The following tags have been used to highlight several categories of occurrence.
  Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in the Cayman Islands
  Endemic - a species endemic to the Cayman Islands
