Within Avian life exists a global order; an ecological structure with a natural hierarchy that creates an environmental equilibrium.
This equilibrium spans across all land, sky and sea on Earth: of the flightless and the volant.
All total to the formally known 'Aves class' that projects itself as the Avian Order.
The Aves class formally refers to all Avian life, the Avian Order refers to the ecological hierarchy in which they are organised by.
Within the Avian Order are several families of Avian life organised into three tiers of the Avian Order.
Species on this hierarchy are referenced to their location on the Avian Order as either "high", "centre", or "low" order Avian species.
The families are ranked upon their ecological niches or purpose to the Avian Order.
A rule of thumb is that families with larger sized species with more carnivorous diets exist higher on the Avian Order.
The balance of the families within the Avian Order sustains the environmental equilibrium that stabilises our planet.
The pinnacle of the Aves class and is comprised of the most sacred families on Earth.
High Order Avians are all birds of prey with prominently carnivorous diets and the largest of wingspans for the highest flights
Notable examples include:
Accipitridae - Eagles, Hawks, Vultures
Falconidae - Falcons
Pandionidae - Ospreys
Sagittariidae - Secretarybirds
Strigidae - True Owls
Tytonidae - Barn-owls
Composed of highly sacred families with prominent biological qualities.
Centre Order Avians are mixed dieted, large species, and or possess other elevating qualities including an especially high intelligence.
Notable examples include:
Caprimulgidae - Nightjars, Frogmouths
Casuariidae - Cassowaries, Emus
Ardeidae - Herons
Ciconiidae - Storks
Gruidae - Cranes
Corvidae - Crows, Ravens, Jays, Magpies
Alcedinidae - Kingfishers (including the Kookaburra)
Phalacrocoracidae - Cormorants
Spheniscidae - Penguins
Containing the rest of the sacred Avian families which hold the majority of the Avian Order's roots and foundations.
Low Order Avians are mainly herbivorous or insectivorous dieted species that form the bulk of Avian life.
Notable examples include:
Cacatuidae - Cockatoos
Cuculidae - Cuckoos
Columbidae - Pigeons
Picidae - Woodpeckers
Anatidae - Mallards, Geese (and other waterfowl)
Phasianidae - Chickens, Pheasants (and other landfowl)
Trogonidae - Trogons, Quetzals
Trochilidae - Hummingbirds

The Avian Order is global; Avian life is undeniably intertwined in the affairs of animal and Human ecology all around Earth
The Avian Order simultaneously faces devastating destruction and populous praise from the Human race.
Today, you'll find Avian life adorned upon the flags of numerous nations, emblemised as symbols of their prosperity and freedom.
Among them, the most sacred life; the eagle, is most commonly symbolised; synonymous for great courage and power.
You'll find relics of Avian faith in the museums and temples of Egypt, where many species were the heads of worshipped gods.
Among carved stone of great arches and ancient tales of the Italy, tell of Aquilae that raised the spirit of an empire and its legions.
The ruins of Mexico lay the old god temples (Teocalli) among the ashes of fallen elite knights adorned with the armour of eagles.
However, when greed became Humanity's evolutionarily advantageous trait, the security of the Avian Order's stability had collapsed.
Native lands to all life on Earth were invaded in the pursuit of grand ambition and ego where such arrogant ideals dominated the modest and wise.
Today, the momentum of Humanity only grows stronger while the homes and grounds of the Avian Order are conquered for unholy purposes.
When a sector of the Avian Order is attacked, it destabilises the entire ecosystem and the rest suffer through disasters of overgrowth or starvation.
Humanity continues to sin through sacrilege of our sacred forests, our plains, our mountains, our rivers, our oceans, our skies, our Earth.
The only way to prevent annihilation of Humanity and the Avian Order is to unite under better faith and culture.
If together we act to conquer the now status quo faith and culture of ego and greed, we can conquer Humanity's unholy hubris.
The sooner we can defeat Humanity's war on Earth, the sooner together we can forge a better path from the foundations of peace.
The Avian Order can guide us back, back from arrogance and greed.
Our peace is our power, our way is our will
For humility is my faith, for humility my mind has, for humility I have.
