Endemic Bird Areas
Birdlife International has defined the following Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) in the subcontinent:
- The Western Ghats
- Sri Lanka
Each area has its own set of endemic species, and there are further species shared between the two which are not found elsewhere.
In addition the following are classified as Secondary areas (areas with at least one restricted-range bird species, but not meeting the criteria to qualify as EBAs)
- Eastern Andhra Pradesh - covering the range of Jerdon's Courser
- Southern Deccan Plateau - covering the range of Yellow-throated Bulbul, Yellow-billed Babbler, Sykes's Lark, Jerdon's Bushlark, Crested Hawk-eagle

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or areas:
“Here and there a bird sang, a rose silenced her expression of him, and all the gaga flowers wondered. But they puzzled the wanderer with their vague wearinesses.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don’t know—Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel—the quality of philosophy.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
