Pairs of idea birds are different

Birds with the same appearance or behavior are not necessarily related relatives, and vice versa. That is the conclusion drawn from a recently published study of the bird world.

They do not look the same, but parrots - such as purple-blue macaws (left), and songbirds - like the ecclesiastical bird, are among the strangely connected couples in the bird world. .

Birds of gray mosquitoes (left) are the ancestors of colorful hummingbirds. With the predatory species at night, the appearance is not important, so the hummingbirds have a rather fuzzy coat, but they produce hummingbirds that work during the day and have very bright colors.

Diving birds (left) and flamingos are close relatives. But the surprise is that none of them are descendants of other waterbirds.

It turns out there is no scientific evidence that hawks (left) and falcon are close relatives, although they are always included in the same group thanks to their similarities.

Pelican (right) does not have relatives related to cormorants or sea urchins. Instead, his favorite is the shoe stork (left).
