Endemic birds of South Asia are those birds that belong to or are native to that area. See also Endemic Birds of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Endemic Bird Areas
BirdLife International has defined the following Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) in the subcontinent:
Each area has its own set of endemic species, and there are further species shared between the two which are not found elsewhere.
In addition the following are classified as Secondary areas (areas with at least one restricted-range bird species, but not meeting the criteria to qualify as EBAs)
Species endemic to the Western Ghats and associated hills
Species endemic to Sri Lanka
Species endemic to the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka combined
Other localised species endemic to peninsular India
Other localised species endemic to peninsular India and Sri Lanka combined
Species endemic to northern parts of the subcontinent
Other species endemic to the subcontinent
Near-endemics and seasonal endemics
In addition, the following species are near-endemics i.e. only a small proportion of the population is found outside the subcontinent
The following species is endemic as a breeding species, but winters elsewhere
