A very interesting programme that tells the story of how the southern hemisphere was wher song birds evolved.
Also and interesting story of hoe bellbirds contribute to dieback in trees.

It is OK. I have no problem with when people learn or how, just as long as they learn.

Yes, I just found this. Is it true?
From current distributions of birds I would certainly guess that songbirds (passerines = sparrow-like birds) evolved in the northern hemisphere.

Australian birds smartest and oldest in the world

Australia, being home to some of the oldest birds on the planet, has played a significant role in the history of the bird according to Professor Kaplan.

“Birds, like the Australian cockatoo, have at least a 90-million-year history,” she said.

She said there may have been many bird species on the planet prior to the mass extinction 65 million years ago, but the only birds to survive after that were in east Gondwanaland, now known as Australia.

“Birds actually evolved in Australia,” Professor Kaplan said.

>Where did the poetry birds evolve?

I heard Kaplan interviewed.. said lots of interesting things…

Australian Magpies are the supreme mimicks and songsters.

Birds also have rythym.

One of my neighbour’s neglected dogs was frequently crying, and one day I could hear it crying somewhere high up in the biggest elm on my property. It was a magpie doing an unfortunately perfect imitation.

That is sad.

I don’t hear it crying any more. I don’t know if that’s because it’s dead, left home, or just cheered up.

That actually may make sense. The area of the planet most greatly devastated by the asteroid impact would have been central America, and 65 million years ago the two land regions furthest away from the site of devastation would have been Thailand/Indonesia and northern Australia/New Guinea.

Then of course Australia would have been part of Antartica.

Some people are content to spend their lives attempting to put others into a place reserved for ridicule. Everything they do stems from this attempt at one-upmanship. It fails, it really does.

Gondwana had broken up at the time of the 65mya extinction.

So why then was the reference to east Gondwana?

What else would you call it? It had broken into West and East portions.

We now have various names for those parts Sth America, India, Australia etc. to name just some.

Fair enough. I had no idea what the broken pieces were named.

Actually, unless someone wants to correct WIKI;
Gondwana is believed to have sutured between about 570 and 510 Mya, thus joining East Gondwana to West Gondwana.

The section abut the breakup mentions nothing about east and west parts except that Australia began to break off from Antarctica, 80 Mya and that Australia and Papua NG separated 55 Mya.

Gondwana did not exist 66 million years ago.

The great supercontinent was still under strain, however. Between about 170 million and 180 million years ago, Gondwana began its own split, with Africa and South America breaking apart from the other half of Gondwana. About 140 million years ago, South America and Africa split, opening up the South Atlantic Ocean between them. Meanwhile, on the eastern half of the once-supercontinent, Madagascar made a break from India and both moved away from Australia and Antarctica.

Australia and Antarctica clung together longer; in fact, Antarctica and Australia didn’t make their final split until about 45 million years ago. At that point, Antarctica started to freeze over as Earth’s climate cooled, while Australia drifted northward.

There is a great book by Tim Low “Where Songbirds Began”. if interested it will answer most of your questions.

• if interested it will answer most of your questions.

What happens when it isn’t interested? Tells you to p!$$ off with your questions?
