This document provides a list of standard Marathi names for birds found in Maharashtra, India. It includes the scientific name, common English name, and Marathi name for 577 bird species. Many of the Marathi names were compiled from existing literature, with some traditional names being updated. The list was presented to members of the Bombay Natural History Society and Maharashtra Birdwatchers Society for review and will be published in their journal. The compiler thanks several ornithologists and members of the societies for their input and suggestions in developing this list of Marathi bird names.
