The following tags have been used to highlight several categories of occurrence. Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list, except that the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them. This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 63rd Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS). One species on the list has been extirpated and one is probably extinct. Of them, one is endemic, six have been introduced by humans, and 127 are rare or accidental. The avifauna of Grenada included a total of 197 species according to Bird Checklists of the World as of July 2022. This is a list of the bird species recorded in Grenada.
