The West Papua 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 West Papua or Western New Guinea (formerly Irian Jaya), the Indonesian portion of the island of New Guinea. A separate checklist is also available for neighbouring Papua New Guinea.
