Species I have only seen in captivity are marked with *
This list probably doesn't account for every species I have encountered, just the ones I can remember the most and have confirmed.
Each section is separated by order, suborder, and then family of the species I have seen.
Note that I am not listing every family or every suborder for each order if I have not seen a species belonging to the suborder or family, if that makes sense.
You can also ignore these classifications, I just like putting it there for extra info. I'm not an expert in taxonomy so if I get anything wrong lmk :). Also there are Wikipedia links to learn more, yay!

There is a third family in the order Anseriformes, which are the screamers (Anhimidae). The only reason I'm listing them here despite not seeing them yet is because they are a group of VERY interesting birds, found exclusively in South America, and they look a lot like landfowl... but they're actually waterfowl! The horned screamer is EXTRA weird!
