Welcome Guest

Welcome to Avibase

Avibase is an extensive database information system about all birds of the world, containing over 50 million records about 10,000 species and 22,000 subspecies of birds, including distribution information for 20,000 regions, taxonomy, synonyms in several languages and more. This site is managed by Denis Lepage and hosted by Birds Canada, the Canadian copartner of Birdlife International. Avibase has been a work in progress since 1992 and I am now pleased to offer it as a service to the bird-watching and scientific community.
