context_page_description: This is a list of the bird species recorded in Oman. The avifauna of Oman include a total of 543 species, of which 7 have been introduced by humans. 27 species are globally threatened.
  This list's taxonomic treatment and nomenclature generally follow the conventions of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2019 edition with a few changes based on the list of the Ornithological Society of the Middle East. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect the Clements taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Oman.
  The following tags have been used to highlight several categories, but not all species fall into one of these categories. Those that do not are commonly occurring native species.
  Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Oman
  (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Oman as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
  Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in Oman although populations exist elsewhere
  (X) Extinct - a species or subspecies that no longer exists
