The two type of accidentals, human introduced and natural are lumped in one category, and budgies are just not making it on themselves. Maybe that would be a good distinction. I preferably would use small on all those escapies that do not have estabished them) or make a seperate list. The parrot list would then look like:
Order: Psittaciformes Family: Psittacidae

I changed all entries in which introduced species are mentioned. Introduced species are not Porto Rican species (by definiton), and that is likely to confuse people. For that reason, I think it is better to make clear that they are present, but not of the country. Kim van der Linde at venus 05:34, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
If you want to go a bit further, only the endemics are Puerto Rican species, the rest are Caribian, North-American, Central-American etc species. The way I would go aroun this is to refer to the Puerto Rican avifauna, and use a sentence like: "Five species are found on Peurto Rico", or "Five species are found on Peurto Rican avifauna". For native (non-endemic) species, I personally think the common language is to refer to them as Puerto Rican species, and I have no big problem with that. However, I think the labeling of introduced species as Puerto Rican species is incorrect. (Ok, enough rambling about semantics) Kim van der Linde at venus 15:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I have not judged it on content (as in are all species on the list or not), because I assume that people can reproduce a list. The rest of the text seems fine to me. I made some small changes to clarify stuff. I think the article is in very good shape, and is a usefull addition to WP. The article has referneces, but it would be good to link them using <ref> Text here. </ref>, which is pretty much a requirement for a good article. Kim van der Linde at venus 05:50, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I think List of Puerto Rican birds is politically incorrect. species don't have nationalities, it maybe better to name it List of birds in Puerto Rico. Any thoughts?-- F3rn4nd0 (Roger - Out) 18:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Adding more introduced/escaped species based on a recent paper is fine. However, the method used is flawed for several reasons. (1) The introduction states, "Unless otherwise noted, the list is that of Bird Checklists of the World as of January 2018", so the entries which are not on that list need to be individually cited. This can be done using ref name=. (2) The stated source of common and scientific names and the sequence of species is 2018 Clements, so additions must follow that taxonomy. In particular, cockatiel and the lovebirds are not New World parrots but a cockatoo and Old World parrots respectively, so they were placed in the wrong family. In addition, Clements calls the species of genus Amazona parrots, not amazons. (3) I suggest that the sentence added to the introduction "In the case of Psittacidae, the list of bird species was updated based on Falcón and Tremblay [5]." be revised to something like "___ [whatever the count is] of introduced cockatoos and parrots have been added based on Falcón and Tremblay."

Because of the number of changes necessitated by the update to the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds which the American Ornithological Society published on June 30, 2020, the revisions to this article are presented here rather than in a series of edit summaries. Changes are per the AOS unless otherwise noted.

These are the changes made to update this list to the 2021 Check-list of North and Middle American Birds published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS) on June 29, 2021. In addition, one species was added per Avibase and two species known only from pre-European settlement remains were deleted.
