Non-Passerines

Sulpher-crested Cockatoo Cacatua galerita ©Ian Montgomery Website

There is one Fatbirder page for each of the families listed below. Each page carries a photograph of one member of the family; if you find one that does not it is because I cannot find one to use and welcome submission. I also list the species within each family – mostly as in the Handbook of the Birds of the World but in some cases there are variations where I feel that other authorities take a better line.

I welcome offers for introductions to these new family pages from those of you with a particular interest in that family – you do not need to be an expert – I am happy to recieve intros from enthusiasts too.

I hope Fatbirder surfers find these pages of use – let me know if you know of an appropriate website that I should link to if I have overlooked it.

  • Avibase

    Website
    Avibase contains taxonomic and distribution information (including maps) for all 10,000 extant species and 22,000 subspecies of birds in the world, plus several extinct and ancient fossil species. The site also offers searching tools for internet sites and images, as well as links to other sites such as ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information Systems) and Birdlife threathened birds of the World website. This site is the result of nearly 12 years of work on a database that now contains close to a million records, including 300,000 occurence records and 180,000 synonyms in over a dozen languages. Bird checklists of the world, which offers bird checklists for over 500 countries and regions, has now also been integrated into Avibase, but continues to be available directly from my other web site Bird Links to the World

  • Bird Families Of The World

    Website
    From the richness of Monterey Bay and the Monterey Peninsula, California (where I live) to the tropical forests of the most remote islands, this site presents bird photos, some opinions, and some (hopefully) helpful information. The major threads are listed below; initially, the emphasis will be on Bird Families of the World. I`ve had an interest in observing and photographing representatives of all the 198 extant families for many years. Yet I feel that the goal is unimportant; it is the journey toward it that interests me.

Photographic details (location, lens, and film) are also included for each image. Many of the species have multiple images intended to show additional visual information about the species
