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:
“With a broad shoehorn
I am unstuffing a big bird in this dream
Msomebody else’s holiday feast—
and repacking the crop of my own,
knowing it will burst with such
onion, oyster, savory bread crust.”
—Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
“Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one. However, five-year-olds,... belie the promise of adult-like behavior with their child-like, impulsive actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
