User:VihansithK/My list of favorite birds
Important text
[edit]This is a list of my favorite birds, along with whether or not I have seen it. Also, it includes images, range, IUCN status, and whether or not it is a place where I can see it in the near future (Sri Lanka). Please note that the image is not necessarily the main image, but is the image I like the most. Male/female images will also be placed. The genus name is linked in the Scientific name, the species is linked in the common name. This list will be regularly updated. Also, the list is based on what I can remember only.
