For the birds
You sit down with a resigned sigh. Looks like some maniac (possibly with a booming voice) has built the whole Tree Of Life in here. Which means you still have to pick a class, order, family, genus and species before you get to a transformation you're not sure you want anyway.
Wait a minute. You already picked a phylum. Aves is a class. Somehow the fact that the Almighty Builder seems to have made an error gives you new hope. Maybe there are other errors that can be used for a shortcut?
You start sniffing around until you feel a faint, cool stream of air against your snout. Seems to be a weak point in the wall. You lean against it with all your tigerly weight and feel it give a little. You back up and throw yourself against the wall.
Good news: You have found your shortcut. The wall shatters in a shower of splinters and you fly through to the other side.
Bad news: There's no floor on the other side. Obviously you were supposed to leave this section as a bird, instead you are a tiger in free fall. Oops.
