Stability had been a goal when I began this project in 1999 [see my old essay on "choosing a family listing"], but since this is my 6th edition in 6 years, it is obvious that we are in an exciting time of rapid change in taxonomic ideas and evidence.
The purpose of this list of Bird Families of the World is as an aid to world birders who desire to maximize their study of avian diversity by observing examples of as many bird families as possible or reasonable within the time and money available for travel.
It is exhilarating to see new and unique birds, and bird families should (and do) structure the avian world into the most discrete and unique groups.

Some may argue that many tickers/twitchers have an unhealthy focus on lists but ornithologists and birders alike are keenly interested in systematic lists because they order our knowledge about the diversity of birds.
The drafting of a revised SA list clearly has to draw upon the latest findings, in terms of new additions to the region’s avifauna through both the discovery of new vagrants/range extensions to the region and the reorganisation of species complexes within the region.
Many of the changes to the SA list that have occurred since the last supplement to the official SA list was published in 1991 will be familiar to birders because they are already included in the latest editions of field guides.
