Aves (Linnaeus, 1758) or birds are birds and bird-like creatures.
Afroaves
- Strigiformes (generally nocturnal birds of prey with large eyes and round faces, known for looking "wise")
Neognathae
- Accipitriformes (birds of prey which kill their prey with their hooked talons)
- Anseriformes (web-footed, typically aquatic birds whose beaks are usually broad and flat)
- Apodiformes (small birds with naked, scaleless legs unsuitable for walking)
- Falconiformes (birds of prey which kill their prey with their beaks)
- Galliformes (heavy-bodied ground-feeding birds)
- Gastornithiformes (large flightless fowl, which were likely herbivorous in life)
- Opisthocomiformes (Often herbivorous, prehistoric-looking flying birds which have hands on their wings)
- Passeriformes (small perching birds known for their songs which typically have three toes pointing forward and one pointing back)
- Pelecaniformes (typically fish-eating waterbirds most well-known for including pelicans and their relatives)
- Podicipediformes (aquatic, web-footed birds who have beaks which are straight and sharp, as well as legs which possess lobed toes)
- Psittaciformes (tropical birds with strong curved beaks)
- Sphenisciformes (penguins and penguin-like birds, which are aquatic flightless birds)
Palaeognathae
- Apterygiformes (flightless birds with long thin beaks and whiskered faces)
- Dinornithiformes (large herbivorous birds without even vestigial wings)
- Struthioniformes (ostriches and ostrich-like birds, which cannot fly and typically have two-toed feet)
Unsorted Aves
- Apteriformes (wingless birds which do not fall under gryphons or real-world taxa)
- Cillopteriformes (sometimes beakless early-creature-like birds with membranous wings that look like cilia parts)
- Gryphoformes (chimeric birds with distinct non-wing forelimbs and hindlimbs, based on mythological gryphons and similar creatures)
