The avifauna of Belize include a total of 590 species, of which two are globally endangered and four have been introduced by humans. 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'', 5th edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account.

The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories. * (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Belize * (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Belize as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions __NOTOC__ ==Tinamous== Order: TinamiformesFamily: Tinamidae The tinamous are one of the most ancient groups of bird.
