I've been wearing out the gallery section as well as looking at lots of books and cannot get my head around the seeming fact that some birds have three toes in front, one back, while others have two front, two back.
Anybody take pity on me and explain this?

And, as an afterthought, is there a thread hereabouts that explains avian taxonomy in a way that a simple minded old coot can understand?
