There are about ten thousand living species, more than fifty percent of which are passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds include wings whose advancement varies according to be able to species; the just known groups without wings will be the wiped out moa and elephant birds. Wings, which evolved from forelimbs, gave birds a chance to fly, although additional evolution has directed to the losing of airline flight in some parrots, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The particular digestive and respiratory system systems of wild birds are also distinctively adapted for flight. Some bird kinds of aquatic conditions, particularly seabirds and even some waterbirds, have further evolved intended for swimming.
Birds are descendants of the primitive avialans (whose members include Archaeopteryx) which first came out about 160 thousand years ago (mya) in China. In accordance with DNA evidence, contemporary birds (Neornithes) developed in the Center to Late Cretaceous, and diversified significantly around the time of the Cretaceous? Paleogene extinction event sixty six mya, which wiped out off the pterosaurs and all non-avian dinosaurs.
Many social varieties give knowledge throughout generations, which is usually considered a sort of culture. Birds are interpersonal, communicating with aesthetic signals, calls, and songs, and engaged in such behaviours as cooperative breeding and hunting, flocking, plus mobbing of predators. The vast the greater part of bird varieties are socially (but not necessarily sexually) monogamous, usually for one breeding time of year at a period, sometimes for years, but rarely for life. Other kinds have breeding methods that are polygynous (one male with many females) or perhaps, rarely, polyandrous (one female with many males). Birds produce offspring by laying ova which are fertilised through sexual duplication. They are usually laid in a home and incubated by the parents.
