There are about eight thousand living types, more than 50 percent of which will be passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds possess wings whose enhancement varies according in order to species; the only known groups with out wings would be the vanished moa and elephant birds. Wings, which often evolved from forelimbs, gave birds the opportunity to fly, although further evolution has directed to the losing of flight in some chickens, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The particular digestive and respiratory systems of wild birds are also distinctively adapted for air travel. Some bird types of aquatic conditions, particularly seabirds plus some waterbirds, include further evolved intended for swimming.
Birds are descendants of the primitive avialans (whose members include Archaeopteryx) which first came out about 160 million years ago (mya) in China. In accordance with DNA evidence, modern day birds (Neornithes) progressed in the Midst to Late Cretaceous, and diversified significantly around the moments of the Cretaceous? Paleogene extinction event sixty six mya, which slain off the pterosaurs and everything non-avian dinosaurs.
Many social kinds give knowledge across generations, which is considered a sort of lifestyle. Birds are interpersonal, communicating with visual signals, calls, and songs, and participating in such behaviours as cooperative breeding and even hunting, flocking, plus mobbing of possible predators. The vast majority of bird varieties are socially (but not necessarily sexually) monogamous, usually with regard to one breeding period at a period, sometimes for yrs, but rarely with regard to life. Other kinds have breeding techniques that are polygynous (one male using many females) or, rarely, polyandrous (one female with many males). Birds produce children by laying ovum which are fertilised through sexual processing. They are generally laid inside a call home and incubated by the parents. Many birds have the extended period involving parental care after hatching
