- Source: List of endemic birds of South Asia
Endemic birds of South Asia are those birds that belong to or are native to South Asia, on the Indian subcontinent and adjacent islands of the north-central Indian Ocean.
This article is one of a series providing information about endemism among birds in the world's various zoogeographic zones. For an overview of this subject see Endemism in birds.
Endemic Bird Areas
BirdLife International has defined two Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) in the Indian subcontinent:
Western Ghats, India
Sri Lanka
Each area has its own set of endemic species, and there are further species shared between the two which are not found elsewhere.
In addition, the following are classified as secondary areas (areas with at least one restricted-range bird species, but not meeting the criteria to qualify as EBAs):
Eastern Andhra Pradesh - covering the range of the Jerdon's courser, India.
Southern Deccan Plateau - covering the range of the yellow-throated bulbul, yellow-billed babbler, Sykes's lark, Jerdon's bushlark, crested hawk-eagle, India.
Central Indian Forests - covering the range of the forest owlet, India.
