This is a list of the bird species recorded in the Seychelles. The avifauna of the Seychelles include a total of 238 species (267 have been accepted by Seychelles Bird Records Committee (SBRC) up to 1 January 2015). Of these, thirteen extant species are endemic (fifteen if the Aldabra rail (''Dryolimnas (cuvieri) aldabranus'') and Aldabra fody (''Foudia (eminentissima) aldabranus'') are considered to be full species). Ten have been introduced by humans although the Madagascar fody is possibly native. Of these 139 (or 167 following the SBRC) are rare or accidental. Seven species listed (nine following the SBRC) are extirpated in the Seychelles. Sixteen 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'', 5th 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 the Seychelles. 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 the Seychelles * (E) Endemic - a species endemic to the Seychelles * (I) Introduced - a species introduced to the Seychelles as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions * (Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in the Seychelles although populations exist elsewhere __NOTOC__ ==Grebes== Order: PodicipediformesFamily: Podicipedidae Grebes are small to medium-large freshwater diving birds. They have lobed toes and are excellent swimmers and divers. However, they have their feet placed far back on the body, making them quite ungainly on land. There are 20 species worldwide and 1 species which occurs in the Seychelles. *Eared grebe, ''Podiceps nigricollis'' (A) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of birds of Seychelles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
