Comment on YSK - All song birds on the planet are descended from ancestors in Australia.

  Song birds must have been much larger in prehistoric times I assume. Maybe not 11’ tall but what about the size of a crow or a dog? Imagine chirping so loud you can still hear it if you close your doors.

    Australia has song birds about the size of a crow, they’re called Magpies. They are at times aggressively territorial, extremely intelligent, family orientated and very pleasant to wake up to in the morning.

        Yeah, like that, but with constant song bird singing.
