The dictionary comprises the main part and indices of names given in six languages. The main part of the dictionary consists of entries for systematic groups of birds. Each entry includes a name in Latin with Lithuanian, English, German, French and Russian equivalents indicated further. The Latin name of a systematic bird group is immediately followed by the last name of the person who first described the given genus/species and the year. The structure of the dictionary follows the taxonomic sequence. Its arrangement is based on the currently worldwide recognized classification of birds (class Aves) used in The Handbook of the Birds of the World (Volumes 1-16) (1992-2011; ed. Hoyo, Elliot & Sargatal), a multi-volume series that is presently being published. The essence of the above-mentioned classification is the system based on Sibley C.G. and Monroe B.L. (1990), using the principles and results laid out in Sibley C.G. and Ahlquist J.E. (1990). Besides the above-mentioned key sources, the compilers of the current dictionary also made reference to other classifications (Morony, Bock & Farrand 1975, Campbell & Lack 1985, Bock & Farrand 1980, Mayr & Cottrell 1979, Marchant & Higgins 1990). The Handbook of the Birds of the World covers all presently known bird species.
The compilers of the current dictionary referred to the information available in 14 volumes of the above mentioned handbook, borrowing specified names for birds in Latin, English, German and French. Unfortunately, there was no possibility for coordinating the classification of birds with that presented in volumes 15 and 16, which are due to see daylight by 2010 and 2011.The dictionary presents orders (B), suborders (PB), families (S), subfamilies (PS), tribes (T), genera and species in the systematic order. The Latin name of a systematic group is followed by the equivalents of the name in other languages being presented in the following order: Lithuanian (1), English (2), German (3), French (4) and Russian (5). The Lithuanian names proposed by the authors and synonyms are given after a comma. Synonyms of Latin names are enclosed in square brackets, synonyms of names in other languages are indicated immediately after a comma or in parentheses (if part of a synonym is given). If there are more than one synonym, priority is given to the first one. The authors made reference to birds' names mentioned in earlier Lithuanian sources. Some of them, i.e. those that were not precise or did not conform to characteristics of systematics or those of species, were modified.
The following abbreviations are used to denote the gender of a species' name: f - feminine, m - masculine, n - neuter.
In indices names are listed alphabetically. Numbers indicate the position of a name in the main (taxonomic) part of the dictionary.
