Birds in the animal atlas
Bird profiles are added using the same evidence rules as the herpetofauna atlas: named sources, no invented regional maps.
The 2024 annotated checklist of the birds of Georgia (Budagashvili & Javakhishvili) is the country-status source used here. This hub is not a substitute for that full list of 400+ species.

FAQ
What people ask about birds here
Short answers - detailed information is on profiles.
No. This hub publishes individual species pages as they are written. The 2024 national checklist is the reference for the full avifauna.
The atlas has 45 bird profiles, from raptors and owls to woodpeckers and songbirds, including the white stork (Ciconia ciconia), a breeding migrant in Samtskhe–Javakheti and Kvemo Kartli. The list is growing and does not replace the national avifauna.
Bird pages use the same species-profile structure. They are part of the animal atlas of Georgia, not a complete national bird list.
Only when a profile has named regional records. The white stork page colours Samtskhe–Javakheti, Kvemo Kartli, and Adjara; the 2024 census found nests in the first two. Other bird pages often confirm country status only, not a full region list.
No. Identify them by sight and sound. Do not catch or keep wild birds.
