Hair-crested Drongo 髮冠卷尾

No criticism of anybody, as I know a lot of people have worked hard and are continuing to work hard on this new portal, but I feel we MUST do something to sort out the "branches" on which people post photos.

Drongoes (Dicrurinae) are regarded as part of Corvidae, but that does not really make them "crows", which refers to the family Corvinae, under the Sibley and Monroe classification.

This is not the most serious problem though - Stonechats, Wagtails, Mesias and Scimitar Babblers are NOT 'tits', for example, under any classification.

I'm very happy to advise further on resolving this.
