Some birds that are rarely recorded' vts'il:Bhh'o Victoria are not listed. Alien species which have established feral populations are indicated by an asterisk(*). You may wish to use the list to compile a checklist of species observed on your property. The definitions used for conservation status categories are those of the International Union forthe Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as listed below. "Taxa" means species or sub-species(including those still undescribed).

(.X) Extinct: taxa not definitelylocated in the wild in Victoria during the past fiftyyears (in italics). (E) Endangered: taxa in danger of extinction in Victoria and whose survival is unlikely if the causal factors continue. (V) Vulnerable: taxa believed likely to move into the 'Endangered' category in the near futureif the causal factors continue operating. (R) Rare: taxa with small Victorian populations that are not at present 'Endangered' or 'Vulnerable', but are at risk. (I) Insufficiently known: taxa in Victoria that are suspected but not definitely known to be 'Endangered', 'Vulnerable' or 'Rare', because of lack of information. (C) Restricted Colonial Breeding or Roosting: taxa at risk because they have only a few colonial breeding or roosting sites(even though the taxa may be common). Threatened: a general term used to denote any of the above. Whilst this list deals with the species status throughout Victoria, many more species may be threatened at a local level.
