Modern birds are divided into two superorders, the Paleognathae (mostly flightless birds like ostriches), and the wildly diverse Neognathae, containing all other birds.


Bird orders

This is a list of the taxonomic orders in the subclass Neornithes, or modern birds. The list of birds gives a more detailed summary of these, including families.

SUBCLASS NEORNITHES

Paleognathae:
Struthioniformes, Ostrich, emus, kiwis, and allies
Tinamiformes, tinamous

Neognathae:
Anseriformes, waterfowl
Galliformes, fowl
Gaviiformes, loons
Podicipediformes, grebes
Procellariiformes, albatrosses, petrels, and allies
Sphenisciformes, penguins
Pelecaniformes, pelicans and allies
Ciconiiformes, storks and allies
Phoenicopteriformes, flamingos
Falconiformes, falcons, eagles, hawks and allies
Gruiformes, cranes and allies
Charadriiformes, gulls, button-quail, plovers and allies
Pteroclidiformes, sandgrouse
Columbiformes, doves and pigeons
Psittaciformes, parrots and allies
Cuculiformes, cuckoos, turacos, hoatzin
Strigiformes, owls
Caprimulgiformes, nightjars and allies
Apodiformes, swifts and hummingbirds
Coraciiformes, kingfishers
Piciformes, woodpeckers and allies
Trogoniformes, trogons
Coliiformes, mousebirds
Passeriformes, passerines
Note: This is the traditional classification (the so-called Clements order). A radically different classification based on molecular data has been developed (the so-called Sibley-Monroe classification or Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy). This has influenced taxonomical thinking considerably, with the Galloanserae proving well-supported by recent molecular, fossil and anatomical evidence[citation needed]. With increasingly good evidence, it has become possible by 2006 to test the major proposals of the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy. The results are often nothing short of astounding, see e.g. Charadriiformes or Caprimulgiformes.

Unless it has changed since I started watching birds as a hobby over thirty years ago, they are divided neatly into two groups. Singing birds or perching birds, known as passerines and non singing birds, known as non passerines. There are other reasons for the split but I find that definition to be the easiest to remember.
The passerines are birds like finches, honey eaters, hummingbirds and thrushes. The non passerines comprise of all the seabirds, raptors (eagles, falcons and the like), flightless birds, swallows, swifts and many more. And, no I am not ducking the issue, ducks are in this group to.
Hope this helps. There are also a heap of websites that deal with as well. Also, I suggest you get on to your local Gould, Audubon or birdwatching group. They are always a wealth of information.

You can go to http://enature.com to find what species of birds are found in your area, by putting in your zip code (if you live in the US). There is no one site that will list all the birds, there are several thousands or species worldwide.

more kinds than you could imagine. Do a search for birds yourself, there are simply too many sites to list here.
