The top 20 birds most sorted for by internet visitors

With changing weather patterns and improved surveillance, more bird species have been spotted in Malaysia. As of 2024, the number of bird species recorded in the country has increased to 862. Many of these birds are rare and seldom seen, while others are local residents with low populations that stay cleverly out of sight. For this compilation, I have focused on summarizing only the commonly seen birds that inhabit forests and forest edges. This approach aims to assist bird enthusiasts without overwhelming them with numerous bird names. Based on my experience, birds from 20 families are the most meaningful to monitor. I apologize if the bird you are looking for falls outside the scope of these 20 families.
