/90 [96 taxa; 95 species are listed here; but the smaller number accounts for the extinct species included]
Overall I have seen a good seventeen or so of these species in the wild; and counting captive birds the number is around fourty-five. In my defense I haven't been to many parts of the world; mostly the Europe area but also to Israel.
Will be interested to see how others score. Don't expect anyone to score an elephant bird though!
