''Indian Birds'' is a bi-monthly ornithology journal/newsletter that was established in 2004. It was formerly published under the heading Newsletter for Ornithologists for one year. It publishes articles on identification, distribution, migration, conservation and taxonomy, apart from reports of significant ornithological sightings and events. Published from Hyderabad, the publication is owned by New Ornis Foundation〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Indian Birds )〕 In 2006, the Bugun Liocichla, a new bird species from Arunachal Pradesh was described by Ramana Athreya in this journal. The description of the bird carried in the journal was made without the collection of a type specimen as they were too few to risk killing one. Though this practice was not unprecedented, with four prior instances, the pure charisma of the bird together with this practice created a controversy in the scientific and conservation community on the costs-benefits of this approach 〔 The journal has published 683 articles 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About )〕 in its first eight volumes. Nearly 125 of these articles are referenced in the text of Handbook of the Birds of the World online.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Indian Birds )〕 Aasheesh Pittie 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A bibliophile on the wing )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Birds of India: Bird-watching in India ~ Aasheesh Pittie interview with Bikram Grewal; April 2011 )〕 has been the editor of this journal since its inception.Zafar Futehally, who founded Newsletter for Birdwatchers in 1960, served as the editor emeritus until his death in 2013.
