Clades

Australaves[1] is a recently defined[2] clade of birds, consisting of the Eufalconimorphae (passerines, parrots and falcons) as well as the Cariamiformes (including seriamas and the extinct "terror birds").[3] They appear to be the sister group of Afroaves.[3] As in the case of Afroaves, the most basal clades have predatory extant members, suggesting this was the ancestral lifestyle;[4] however, some researchers like Darren Naish are skeptical of this assessment, since some extinct representatives such as the herbivorous Strigogyps lead other lifestyles.[5] Basal parrots and falcons are at any rate vaguely crow-like and probably omnivorous.[6]
