Warning: angry me up ahead...

I was looking up the diet of the Crested Guan when I stumbled upon this website..

http://www.globalspecies.org/

I thought "hey, I'm going to check out the Aves section...."

Lo and behold, look what I stumbled upon when I saw under the Ciconiiformes section.

Let's just say, this outdated taxonomy is from the early 90s. Yep. It's Sibley-Monroe. In fact, you can check it out here: no. 7, no. 8 and no. 9


 * Accipitridae (Kites, Hawks & Eagles)
 * Alcidae (Auks)
 * Anhingidae (Anhingas, darters)
 * Ardeidae (Herons, Bitterns)
 * Burhinidae (Stone-curlews, Thick-knees)
 * Charadriidae (Plovers)
 * Chionididae (Sheathbills)
 * Ciconiidae (Storks)
 * Diomedeidae (Albatrosses)
 * Falconidae (Caracaras, Falcons)
 * Fregatidae (Frigatebirds)
 * Gaviidae (Loons)

 * Stercorariidae (Skuas)

For starters... WHY?

Why are you using TAXONOMY from the 90s?

How ignorant can you get?

Have you been living under a damn rock?

You are worse than Animal Diversity Web (ADW)!

Oh-ho-ho-ho... it gets even better...
