This database contains scientific (Latin), Estonian and English names of orders, families and species (also some subspecies) of the birds of the world. The Estonian names are approved by the Estonian Bird Names Committee of the BirdLife Estonia. Work is in progress and at present only two third of all species have fixed Estonian synonyms. If more than one synonyms are accepted, less preferred is in brackets.
The systematic order, the scientific and english names follow Handbook of the Birds of the World (del Hoyo, J. & Collar, N. J. 2014-2016. Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World. Vol. 1-2. Lynx Editions. Barcelona). Synonyms from different sources are included.
The program allow you to search for names of bird species in Estonian, English and Latin (scientific). The search term must consist of at least three letters. Capitalization is ignored. The presentation of results is in alphabetical order.
