下面附上《香港雀鳥名錄》以供下載。
[Note: the most updated "HK list" including taxonomic changes would be published once a year.
註：最新版本的 "香港鳥類名錄"(包含更新的學名)，將會每年出版一次。]
--------------------------------------------------
The species category definition is as follows:
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.
鳥種類別的定義如下﹕
第 I 類﹕ 在香港有明確野生紀錄。
第 IIA 類﹕ 中國東南部地區繁殖的鳥種，現時在香港的繁殖群落被認為是由逃逸的籠鳥所繁衍的，但亦可能在棲息地出現變化前已在香港出沒。
第 IIB 類﹕ 非原居鳥種；經人為引入香港，現無需靠額外幫助已能繼續繁衍。
第 IIC 類﹕ 曾經在香港有野生群落的鳥種。
第 III 類﹕ 根據已發表所有香港紀錄顯示，此鳥種可能在飼養時逃逸或人為放生。
[*香港野生鳥類名錄僅包括第 I類及第 II類鳥種，第 III 三類鳥種未包含在香港鳥種總數中。]
香港野生鳥類名錄將於2026年進一步修訂。所有全球鳥類名錄（包括eBird/Clement鳥類名錄及世界鳥類名錄（紀錄委員會一直採納））將於2026年完成並轉入AviList。屆時，紀錄委員會將遵循這份新的鳥類名單，修訂後的香港名單將相應公布。
