About: Spec Dinosauria: Allocolumbiformes   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Spexplorers have found beautiful, toothless, fruit- and seed-eating birds all over the planet (except in cold regions and very remote islands; they are still somewhat uncommon in South America). They were considered "doves", "sandgrouse" or "p-Columbiformes". Investigations of the skeleton (which sports a few confusing characters that are otherwise found only in Enantiornithes) and genetic material soon showed that they weren't pigeons, or Neornithes at all. They are now thought to include Apsaravis, an interesting avialan from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia.

Otherworld pigeons tend to breed fast, grow fast, and fly fast, with the exception of some flightless species on small, remote islands.
