Below the poll is a series of animal images labeled A through J. A is the least close to the birds we have today; J is the closest. If you encountered these animals in the wild, which would you call birds? If you pick a higher up option, then that means you consider all the below ones birds as well - so if you pick A, then BCDEFGHIJ are all birds. If you pick J, only J is a bird.

So - at what point would you call these animals "birds"?

PLEASE REBLOG THIS SO IT CAN LEAVE PALAEOBLR. I NEED PEOPLE WHO DON'T RECOGNIZE THESE ANIMALS ON SIGHT TO VOTE.

I apologize to all of y'all with vision impairments for whom this poll is inaccessible. Alas, this is an experiment, and I cannot name the taxa. Thank you.

Clarity question: if I pick a in the poll does that mean that I think a is a bird, or just the ones below it?

a is also a bird, so a = abcdefghij, b = bcdefghij, and so on

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I’m honored to be haiku botted but I am very confused how that counts for a haiku
