    • The list at the end of this page has most of the ones I have been able to find in Scripture. The issue is which Bible translation used. I have used other versions so that I could write about those birds also. Yet, if you were to go back to the original Greek and Hebrew, it might help give you the exact number.
      Technically, I like to think that there are 10,699 of them. [not counting the extinct ones] That is the latest count from the IOC. :) God created the “birds” after their kinds.
      When you come up with the number you are looking for, drop another comment. I’d be interested in the count you end up with.

  5. Thank you for your reseach! My children and I used your site to make a list of birds in the Bible for their VBS homework. We enjoyed your thoughts and lovely pictures.
