Papua New Guinea IOC

The Papua New Guinea list uses a subset of species from the complete world taxonomy maintained by the IOC and which is updated regularly at www.worldbirdnames.org. This list covers the Independent State of Papua New Guinea, i.e. the eastern half of New Guinea and offshore islands. Separate checklists are available for neighbouring West Papua, plus the overall island of New Guinea.
