I would like to know what country has the most number of endemic birds in these days? It's Indonesia with 419 species? Thanks.

Dear Tomas, perhaps you must check these links and look for authorities in the material.

Hello Tomás,
Just a couple of suggestions;

I do not recall the year, number and edition, but several year ago National Geographic did a number dedicated to the endemism of birds around the world.
And last but not least, check the website for the of the Smithsonian Institute
Hi.
The classic checklist of birds of the world of Howard & Moore can be useful, and also the one published by Clements. There are different editions of both.
Best regards.
Dear Tomas,
You are probably right, Indonesia (419), Australia (317), and may be Brazil (233) are possibly the countries with the highest number of endemic birds these days
However, you should check birdlife international website, and look for country profiles:

And also thess publications:
Orme, C. D. L., Davies, R. G., Burgess, M., Eigenbrod, F., Pickup, N., Olson, V. A., ... & Stattersfield, A. J. (2005). Global hotspots of species richness are not congruent with endemism or threat. Nature, 436(7053), 1016-1019.

I think this info was in Clements checklists, but it goes out of date as soon as its written.
