Taxonomy

[sorridsky]

Hello everyone!

I'm working on a piece for college about bird taxonomy & Phylogeny, along with conservation and ecology.
I wondered if anyone had any good web resources? Particularly useful would be a site to find out the class, order, family, genus, etc of all the UK birds. Also a phylogenetic tree would be great.
Secondly something about each birds conservation status, their biology, behaviour and most important ecology.

Any help would be very appreciated,
Thanks!

Hi Sorridsky,

Welcome to Birdforum!

There's a decent summary at wikipedia here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird
and the links on therefrom

It is all copyright-free so you can copy from it freely

Hey for the birds conservation status try the BTO and JNCC websites:
www.jncc.gov.uk
www.bto.org
there will be info on both sites for different species including their status. Hope this helps!
