Perching Birds



Perching Birds
Passeriform, (order Passeriformes), also called passerine or perching bird, any member of the largest order of birds and the dominant avian group on Earth today.
The passeriform birds are true perching birds, with four toes, three directed forward and one backward.
Considered the most highly evolved of all birds, passerines have undergone an explosive evolutionary radiation in relatively recent geological time
and now occur in abundance on all continents except Antarctica and on most oceanic islands.
Their rapid evolution and adaptation to virtually all terrestrial environments
resulted in a large number of species, some 5,700, compared with only about 4,069 species of all other birds.
— Encyclopedia Britannica —

"Use what talent you possess;
the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best."
- Henry Van Dyke
