This
bird order poster is a truly beautiful poster, one that will
be greatly appreciated by bird-lovers. It will certainly enhance the decor of their home or office. This is also an especially important poster because it presents the new Sibley-Ahlquist bird classification system. Based on recent DNA studies, it uses cladistics to reconstruct the evolutionary family
tree, making the traditional system obsolete. This new system has been widely accepted by North
American ornithologists. It explores all the bird orders, introducing them by the common name of the species, followed by the name of the order. It explains all of the classification changes, order-by-order. Representative species are shown and identified by both common and scientific name. Some of the birds represented on this poster are the American Bald
Eagle, the Canadian Goose, pet parakeet and cockatiel, robin, mallard
duck, roadrunner,
turkey and pigeon. Poster measures 26 x 34 inches and is fully laminated.
