How much do you know about the phylogenetic relationships of passerines? What is your favorite family or species? Let's talk a bit about the greatest adaptive radiation among birds.
I recommend purchasing this book to gain deeper insight into the diversity and evolution of Passeriformes.
i heard once that some types of birds are born as babies with tiny holes in their stomachs that makes them very vulnerable to diseases so its difficult to rescue them. but when i tried looking that up google didn't know what i was talking about so i guess i misremembered or dreamed it or something
I really like contigas. They are the New World equivalent of the birds of paradise.
A real tragedy was the loss of piopios, and endemic genux of New Zealand. They are closely related to Oriolidae.
