new skeletal elements of early Eocene of Europe , stem group of parrots found

The new Vastanavis skeletal elements and bones that were found in westtern India resemble the skeletal elements of the late Eocene QuercySittidae. (Rana RS, 2013). It is essential to understand the natural history of the newly discovered fossils, because it can provide us with valuable information about the evolutionary process of different parrot species not only of the western India region, but to the avian species that are morphologically related. The study of the newly found specimens of the early Eocene bird Vastanavis further described a “morphologically distinctive distal humerus of a small bird resembling the stem group nyctibiid Paraprefica,”(G.Mayr, 2013) which was discovered in the Vastan Lignite Mine during a recent excavation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malnat2 (talk • contribs) 22:50, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Feral chickens and flight

See the most recent edit on feral chicken. It removed the claim that they fly into trees to roost. But they do roost in trees, and can fly well enough to get up there? 146.200.128.134 (talk) 12:13, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
