Charadriiformes
Charadriiformes adalah ordo burung yang beragam dari ukuran kecil sampai sedang-besar. Itu mencakup 350 spesies dan memiliki anggota di seluruh dunia. Kebanyakan Charadriiformes tinggal dekat dengan air dan memakan invertebrata atau hewan kecil; meskipun demikian, beberapa spesies adalah pelagik (burung laut), beberapa mendiami kawasan gurun dan beberapa jenis dapat ditemukan di hutan tebal.
