context_page_description: This is a list of the wild birds found in Western Australia. The list includes introduced species, common vagrants, recently extinct species, extirpated species, some very rare vagrants and species only present in captivity. 627 species are listed.
  The taxonomy is based on Christidis and Boles, 2008. Their system has been developed over nearly two decades and has strong local support, but deviates in important ways from more generally accepted schemes.
  This list's taxonomic treatment and nomenclature follow the conventions of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2019 edition. All of the birds below are included in the total bird count for Western Australia.
  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 Western Australia
  Endemic - a species endemic to Western Australia
  (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Western Australia as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
  Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in Western Australia although populations exist elsewhere
