List of birds of Serbia

This is a list of the bird species recorded in Serbia. The avifauna of Serbia include a total of 352 species, one of which (common pheasant) has a self-sustaining population introduced by humans, and six others (snow goose, Canada goose, ruddy shelduck, wood duck, mandarin duck, Egyptian goose) probably deriving from introduced populations outside of Serbia.

This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of the BirdLife International Checklist of the Birds of the World, Version 7, 2014. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Serbia.

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.

  • (V) Vagrant - a species that occurs rarely as a vagrant in Serbia, with under ten records since 1950
  • (B) Locally extinct - a species that has not occurred in Serbia since 1950 although populations exist elsewhere
  • (C) Introduced - a species introduced to Serbia as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
  • (D) Vagrant of presumed non-natural origin - a species arriving in Serbia as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human introductions elsewhere
