Sumatra is one of the richest islands in Indonesia for animals. Its bird total species is second only to New Guinea. This great wealth is due to the large size of Sumatra, its diversity of habitat and also its past link with the Asian mainland.[ 1] [ 2] This following list of birds is based on the taxonomic treatment and scientific nomenclature of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World , 6th edition.
