There are about eight thousand living types, more than half of which will be passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds possess wings whose development varies according in order to species; the sole known groups with no wings are the wiped out moa and elefant birds. Wings, which evolved from forelimbs, gave birds the opportunity to fly, although further evolution has brought to losing flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. Typically the digestive and respiratory systems of wild birds are also uniquely adapted for trip. Some bird types of aquatic conditions, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have got further evolved for swimming.

Birds will be descendants of typically the primitive avialans (whose members include Archaeopteryx) which first appeared about 160 thousand years ago (mya) in China. Based on DNA evidence, modern birds (Neornithes) progressed in the Center to Late Cretaceous, and diversified drastically around the moments of the Cretaceous? Paleogene extinction event sixty six mya, which wiped out off the pterosaurs and non-avian dinosaurs.

Many social species spread knowledge around generations, which will be considered a kind of traditions. Birds are interpersonal, communicating with image signals, calls, and even songs, and engaged in such behaviours while cooperative breeding and even hunting, flocking, plus mobbing of predators. The vast majority of bird types are socially (but not necessarily sexually) monogamous, usually for one breeding time of year at a time, sometimes for many years, but rarely for life. Other kinds have breeding techniques that are polygynous (one male with many females) or even, rarely, polyandrous (one female numerous males). Birds produce children by laying eggs which are fertilised through sexual imitation. They are generally laid within a call home and incubated by the parents. Most birds have the extended period associated with parental care after hatching
