Question

The pictures of the birds were given to identify the evolution of the characteristics of the birds. 8 chracteristics need to be identified to illustrate thus. The species of the birds can be numbered from left to right. Then after that, two predicted phylogenetic tree of hows the birds could of evolved needs to be created. For example, the outgroup has a short beak while the other have a long pointy beak. That is one evolved characteristic.

3 Colour of the body

4 Colour of the beak

5 Length of the beak

6 structure of the body

7 Colour of the feet

8 Size of the feet
