Bird classification is the scientific categorization of birds into various groups based on physical and behavioral similarities. The term Aves, which is Latin for 'birds, ' is used to refer to the bird class, which is one of the most diverse groups of animals on the planet. Birds are divided into several orders, such as Anseriformes (waterfowl), Passeriformes (perching birds), and Strigiformes (owls). Within each order, there are numerous families, genera, and species. Bird classification is an important tool for understanding the evolution and ecology of birds.
