That makes sense. I just had a furtive google. They are apparently all
near passerines:
Pterocliformes: sandgrouse
Columbiformes: pigeons
Psittaciformes: parrots
Cuculiformes: cuckoos
Strigiformes: owls
Caprimulgiformes: nightjars
Apodiformes: swifts, hummingbirds
Coliiformes: mousebirds
Trogoniformes: trogons, quetzals
Coraciiformes: kingfishers, hornbills
Piciformes: woodpeckers, toucans
Perissodactyla: zebras
Poets are, I believe, a variety of pigeon
anyway, I must go now, the Overground calls, the Overground Britain's only
train system staffed entirely by the dead
