Endemic Bird Areas
Birdlife International defines Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) as places where the breeding ranges of two or more range-restricted species—those with breeding ranges of less than 50,000 km2 (19,000 sq mi)—overlap. In order to qualify, the whole of the breeding range of at least two range-restricted species must fall entirely within the EBA.[1] The entire island of Taiwan has been designated as an Endemic Bird Area.[2]
In addition, Orchid Island (Lán Yǔ), c. 75 km off the south-east coast of Taiwan has been designated as a secondary area, as two restricted-range species (Taiwan green pigeon and elegant scops owl) occur there.

Notes
- ^ This list uses the taxonomy proposed by the International Ornithologists' Union.[3] Avian checklists and field guides typically list species in taxonomic order to show the evolutionary relationships between species; those which are more closely related are physically listed nearer each other.[4]
- ^ This column sorts by threat level, as outlined in the key above.
