Family ordering

It would be good if the list can follow the canonical ordering followed in List of birds of India. In addition the following species could be included White-tailed Tropicbird - reference Sridhar, TR (1987) Tropic Bird in Madras. Newsletter for Birdwatchers. 27(1-2):10-12. http://www.archive.org/stream/NLBW27#page/n10/mode/1up and Balachandran, S (1991) Occurrence of White or Longtailed Tropic-bird Phaethon lepturus on the South-East coast of India. J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 88(3), 441-442. Shyamal (talk) 14:27, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i will work on the order later. agree that the list is incomplete. i also noticed some birds in List of birds of Singanallur lake is not in this list. --Car Tick 17:14, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Local names are nice, but this list should cover also the scientific names. Common names may vary, but the latin names won't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.251.119.3 (talk) 13:41, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

well, i didnt include them only because it was more work to do. I also thought, just linking to the correct article should suffice. but, I see no harm in adding scientific names. you are welcome to enter them. --Car Tick 18:36, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
