List of birds of Tunisia

This is a list of the bird species recorded in Tunisia. The avifauna of Tunisia include a total of 421 species.

This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2022 edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Accidental species are included in the total species count for Tunisia.

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.

  • (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Tunisia
  • (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Tunisia as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
  • (Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in Tunisia although populations exist elsewhere
