This web portal provides fact sheets for the all bird species recorded in Sri Lanka. English names are standardized according to the BirdLife Database. Sinhala names are as in ‘Sirilaka Kurullo” published by the Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka. Taxonomy of the species is as in BirdLife database prepared by the BirdLife Taxonomic Working Group (BTWG). Search can be done using any of the names.

Each fact sheet contains summarized account, distribution map, a photograph or an illustration. We hope to provide Audio files of bird vocalizations and also video files depending on the availability.
