This is a list of bird species in Vietnam by order.

Owls are birds from the order Strigiformes with over 200 species of mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp talons, and feathers adapted for silent flight. Exceptions include the diurnal northern hawk-owl and the gregarious burrowing owl.

Strigiformes: All Owls are classified as members of this order. 
The name is formed from "Strig", the plural form of the Latin word "strix", meaning "owl", and "formes", meaning "forms".

Strigidae: The family for all Owls except Barn Owls, derived from "Strix", a Latin word for owl (also the same in Greek)

Tytonidae: All barn owls are members of this family. The name is derived from the Greek word "tuto", which means "owl".
