Otherworld finches, cityfinches, crackers, and outlaws are the dominant small-bodied seed-eating birds of Specworld. Together with the odd parrothawks and the Specworld parrots, they comprise an estimated 2,300 species worldwide in 19 major groups. Allospiziforme anatomy shares many convergent similarities with the finches, parrots, and cuckoos of our timeline, so it is no wonder that that the true affinities of this group were long overlooked. While they were once classified as neognaths somewhere between the parrots and pigeons of Home-Earth, subsequent study has shown that the allospiziforms are not parrots, pigeons, neognaths, or indeed any kind of neornithian birds at all. Instead, the allospiziforms are part of the ancient and strange clade Enantiorniths, as evidenced by their should

abstract	Otherworld finches, cityfinches, crackers, and outlaws are the dominant small-bodied seed-eating birds of Specworld. Together with the odd parrothawks and the Specworld parrots, they comprise an estimated 2,300 species worldwide in 19 major groups. Allospiziforme anatomy shares many convergent similarities with the finches, parrots, and cuckoos of our timeline, so it is no wonder that that the true affinities of this group were long overlooked. While they were once classified as neognaths somewhere between the parrots and pigeons of Home-Earth, subsequent study has shown that the allospiziforms are not parrots, pigeons, neognaths, or indeed any kind of neornithian birds at all. Instead, the allospiziforms are part of the ancient and strange clade Enantiorniths, as evidenced by their shoulder joints and relatively slow metabolisms. Allied to the false panha and the tweetybirds, Allospiziformes probably traces its lineage back to something like the late Cretaceous Gobipteryx, an Asian enantiornith with a strong, toothless beak.
