Telluraves, also called land birds,[2] are a group of birds that live in trees.[3] Scientists recently grouped them using new genetic studies. This group includes many kinds of birds, such as songbirds, parrots, falcons, eagles, hawks, owls, and woodpeckers.[4] In 2022, George Sangster and others described this group using a rule called PhyloCode. They defined it by including two bird species: the sparrowhawk and the house sparrow.[5] Telluraves are closely related to another bird group called Phaethoquornithes.[6]
The oldest members of two bird groups in Telluraves—Afroaves (eagles, owls) and Australaves (seriemas, falcons)—are hunters. This led some scientists to think the first Telluraves were also hunters.[6] Others disagree, pointing to a plant-eating bird called Strigogyps.[7]
Not all studies agree that Afroaves is one single group.[8] In 2015, Prum and others showed a different family tree, placing hawks and vultures outside a group they called Eutelluraves.[9] Another study in 2019, led by Houde, grouped owls with hawks and vultures as a separate branch.[10] In 2024, Wu and colleagues supported this idea and named this branch Hieraves. They also said Australaves are closest to Hieraves, while a group called Coraciimorphae is the oldest branch of Telluraves.[11]
