This is a list of the bird species recorded in India. The avifauna of India includes around 1314 species, of which forty-two are endemic, one has been introduced by humans and twenty-five are rare or accidental. Two species have been extirpated in India and eighty-two species are globally threatened. The Indian peacock (''Pavo cristatus'') is the national bird of India. One of the most recently discovered birds of India is the Bugun liocichla which was discovered in Arunachal Pradesh in 2006. Also, a few birds considered to be extinct, such as the Jerdon's courser, have been rediscovered. Some others have been elevated from subspecies to full species. This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) are broadly based on the International Ornithologists’ Union list (version 3.2). The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The commonly occurring native species do not fit within any of these categories. * (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in India * (E) Endemic - a species endemic to India * (I) Introduced - a species introduced to India as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions * (Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in India although populations exist elsewhere __NOTOC__ ==Megapodes== Order: GalliformesFamily: Megapodiidae The Megapodiidae are stocky, medium-large chicken-like birds with small heads and large feet.
