Bird taxonomy is not importing correctly #58

Some birds do not have families, genus is linking to order. Has something to do with the GBIF taxonomy, must investigate this.

My notes on this problem: The ‘formes’ problem for birds is probably coming about because the bird atlas didn’t actually have any info about taxonomic hierarchy apart from genus and family, so I had to go to GBIF. We can see the problem here under Order: Falconiformes; Falco and Trigonoceps are genera but don’t have a family parent. Ditto with everything under Sphenisciformes.
