Every Type of Bird! (Bird Orders)

The diversity of birds on display! Orders are the largest groups of birds, combining related birds so they can be studied together. This is a list of bird orders as they exist in 2022.

Each bird order is rated for being diverse, famous, amazing, intriguing, and beautiful (one star for each). You can see how we chose the rankings in each video review.

If there are any omissions or updates, please let me know!
