This is a list of the bird species recorded in Vanuatu. The avifauna of Vanuatu include a total of 136 species, of which nine are endemic, eight have been introduced by humans and thirty are rare or accidental. Twelve 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 Vanuatu. 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 Vanuatu * (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Vanuatu * (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Vanuatu as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions __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. *Australasian grebe, ''Tachybaptus novaehollandiae'' 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 Vanuatu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
