What?! Whose cockamamy idea is that? Although now that I think about it… it does make sense. A LOT of sense. The Field Museum in Chicago has released a landmark genetic study that demonstrates the surprising genetic relationships of birds.
“The analysis also showed falcons are more closely related to parrots than to other hunters such as hawks and eagles. If true, the finding would mean that falcons do not even belong in the scientific order originally named for them.”
I find this so incredibly interesting and intuitively valid. I frequently talk in my parrot lectures about training falcons and how it compares and even mirrors working with parrots. I love this possibility. Convergent evolution is a wonderfully fascinating thing. Â
 A resemblance?
Now THAT’S intereresting.
Your site is most interesting. I didn’t know that the falcon is closest to a pariot. You are a very interesting person
