List of birds of Croatia

This is a list of the bird species recorded in Croatia. The avifauna of Croatia include a total of 416 species, of which 3 have been introduced by humans. 23 species are globally threatened.

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. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Croatia.

The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories.

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


Ducks, geese, and waterfowl

Order: Anseriformes   Family: Anatidae

Anatidae includes the ducks and most duck-like waterfowl, such as geese and swans. These birds are adapted to an aquatic existence with webbed feet, flattened bills, and feathers that are excellent at shedding water due to an oily coating.
