Category I: species that have been recorded in an apparently wild state in HK.
Category IIA: southeast China breeding species, the currently established HK breeding population of which is considered to derive from captive stock, but which probably occurred in HK prior to habitat changes.
Category IIB: extralimital species that, although originally introduced to HK by man, maintain a regular feral breeding stock without necessary recourse to further introduction.
Category IIC: previously established feral species.
Category III: species for which all published HK records are considered likely to relate to birds that have escaped or have been released from captivity.
[*The HK List of wild birds includes only Category I and II species. Category III species are not included in the species totals.]
The official HK List will be further revised in 2026. All global bird lists (including eBird/Clement Bird List and IOC World List (that RC has adopted) will be finalized and transitioned into the AviList in 2026. By then, the RC intends to follow this new AviList and the revised HK List will be published accordingly.
