Critically endangered (CR) species face an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. As of December 2019, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 223 critically endangered avian species, including 19 which are tagged as possibly extinct or possibly extinct in the wild.
Critically endangered birds are listed separately. There are 683 avian species which are endangered or critically endangered. Additionally 53 avian species (0.48% of those evaluated) are listed as data deficient, meaning there is insufficient information for a full assessment of conservation status.
