Land Birds
Generally, birds are categorized into two separate groups: land birds and water birds. Together, these are unconventional terms to define the 10,000 existing species of birds. Out of those 10,000 species, about 5,300 are land birds. 'Land birds' is a division of birds including those that fall under the largest order of birds, called Passeriformes. Passeriformes is a word derived from the term 'passerine,' meaning perch. Passeriformes, or perching birds, include all song birds such as satinbirds (Cnemophilidae), birds of paradise (Paradisaeidae), and jays, ravens, and crows (Corvidae). Falconiformes and Coraciiformes, are two orders that also belong the 'land birds' group. Falcons are the only species of birds that are classified as Falconiformes, while the Coraciiformes is divided into two groups: Bucerotiformes and Leptosomatidae. Bucerotiformes is the family name for Hornbill birds, found in the Tropics. Leptosomatidae is the family name for the Cuckoo Roller. Birds of prey, such as owls and hawks, are also considered to be land birds.

Water Birds
