The rarest bird in the world is the Madagascar pochard, a species of duck found only in the wetlands of Madagascar. It was thought to be extinct until a small population was rediscovered in 2006. The current estimated population is only around 30 individuals.

Other rare birds include the kakapo, a flightless parrot from New Zealand with a population of around 200 individuals, the California condor, a vulture with a population of around 500 individuals, and the Guam rail, a flightless bird from Guam with a population of around 200 individuals.

Conservation efforts are underway to protect these rare bird species and prevent their extinction. These efforts include habitat preservation, captive breeding programs, and predator control.
