Hi Denny, yes you are right, the bird orders page is out of date, it was about 21 years ago that I wrote it. It will get up-dated eventually, but there is still so much that has not been written, I will be finishing Gastropods and moving on to Cephalopods in the coming weeks.

Most of the other avian websites list around 39 or 40 orders, I know cladistics is a wily project, but did you not include some orders, like falconiformes, for reasons unrelated to taxonomic quarrels?

Pelecaniformes; in future you would find the answer much more quickly by typing your question into a search engine such as Ecosia.
