Abstract :: Five important world bird lists were analyzed and compared. Since the Boyd et al. and Cornell University world bird counts are identical to Clement`s et al. values, the first two are not evaluated here. The analysis of HBW`s world bird count has in the highest values, showing 6,648 for Passeres insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P); and 4,487 for Nonpasseres insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NP);, totaling 11,135. The world bird count values according to Gill et. al. totals 10,714 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(i.e., P 6,380 and for NP 4,334); whereas Clements`s et al. states total of 10,930insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(for P 6,518 and for NP 4,412);. It was also found that in the NP some bird families, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(such as Sarothruridae, Bucorvidae and Psittaculidae); are not listed HBW`s World Bird List, while they are listed both in Clement`s and Gill`s World Bird List. The families Cettiidae, Erythrocercidae, and Hyliidae insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(in P);, are given in Gill`s World Bird List, but not in Clement`s and HBW`s. The families Tichodromidae and Icteriidae are not included in HBW`s World Bird List, but are included in the others. The family Platylophidae is not included in Gill`s World Bird List, but is included in the others. The family Oxyruncidae is included in HBW`s World Bird List, but not in the others. The family Sylvidae has been split into two families namely, in Gill`s List, Sylvidae and Paradoxornithidae, in Gill’s World Bird List. The family Paradoxornithidae is not listed both in Clement`s or and in HBW`s. The family Pellorneidae was listed in Gill`s World Bird List as two families insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(i.e.,Pellorneidae and Alcippeidae);.Keywords : World bird lists, bird species, bird subspecies, bird families
