[edit] Position of Aves

The page currently lists Aves as a subdivision of Tetrapoda, but that page does not itself list Aves as a subdivision. I would suggest that Aves instead be listed as a subdivision of Amniota, and that page changed to reflect this, but it may be that there is a better level at which to place the birds. Whichever solution is decided on, I think it should at least be possible to reach this page by navigating down the tree, which at present cannot be done. Anaxial 13:08, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I stand corrected - this can be done from Eumaniraptora. So the other possibility is therefore to link Aves to that page, instead of to Tetrapoda, as at present. I certainly think we ought to do one or the other, for the sake of consistency.Anaxial 13:39, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
