List of birds of Denmark

The mute swan is the national bird of Denmark.

This is a list of the bird species recorded in Denmark. The avifauna of Denmark included a total of 474 species recorded in the wild by early 2018 according to Bird list of Denmark.^[1] Of these species, 183 are rare or accidental and six have been introduced by humans.

This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2018 edition.^[2]

The following tags are used by the Danish Ornithologcial Society (Dansk Onitologisk Forening, DOF) to highlight some categories of occurrence. Those without tags are in Category A and "have been recorded in an apparently wild state in Denmark since 1st January 1950" according to DOF.

• (B) Category B - species which naturally occurred in Denmark prior to 1 January 1950 but have not been recorded since then
• (C) Category C - species introduced by humans, directly or indirectly, and which have established feral breeding populations
• (*) Rarity - species which require submission to the Danish Rarities Committee of DOF for the sighting to be included in the official record.
