Why birds survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction and where.

“The new research suggests that birds in South America survived this event and then started moving to other parts of the world via multiple land bridges while diversifying during... “

Which makes sense.

Before they developed wings, they had to walk across the land bridges. This also led to the development of the first bird hostels.

the evolution of modern birds was greatly shaped by the history of our planet's geography and climate.

Isn't that what they say all species did? Like the giraffes needed long necks to eat the top leaves, while nothing else needed to do the same?

or so the theory goes - get back to me when they find the home movies proving their theory ...

“while diversifying during periods of global cooling.”

I thought humans caused climate change. Silly me.

Sandhill Cranes sound like what I think many dinosaurs may have sounded like. The guy buying te house next door to me said “What the hell was that?”

This article prompted me to research the evolution of my favorite bird. The Hummie! Cool stuff! I'm not surprised their evolution is so unique. Makes me love and respect them even more!

When I consider the birds in my area, specifically, chickadees, sparrows, juncos, cardinals, robins, starlings, crows and the various woodpeckers, there is no way they each evolved into their own species..........

God made them individually and there is no science that can convince me otherwise........

"Or, maybe we migrated somewhere else?"
