While Brand-new scientific bird species descriptions are rare globally (with most additions occurring via taxonomic splits or remote tropical expeditions), tropical nations in South America and Southeast Asia continue to dominate total avian richness and reporting growth. Ongoing deep-field work in the Andes, Amazon Basin, and Indonesian Islands occasionally yields new phenotypic or genetic discoveries.
Top countries for total bird diversity
Columbia - 1,917 species
Peru - 1,892 species
Brazil - 1,864 species
Indonesia - 1,730 species
Ecuador - 1,684 species
