List of birds of Bengaluru

The following is a list of birds found in and around Bengaluru in Karnataka, India.

The Nandi Hills, Bannerghatta forest ranges and the Kaveri valley/Sangam area are included in addition to the Bengaluru city limits roughly extending 40 kilometres around the city centre (General Post Office).

The area has been studied from early times due to its climate and accessibility during the Colonial period.

This list is largely based on an annotated checklist published in 1994.

[2][3] The family placement and sequence of families is based on the IOC world bird list (version 2.9).
