Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I fact checked this. This is only true if you recognize the proposed subclade of Eufalconimorphae. If we operate under the accepted understanding that parrots and falcons are linked by being in the higher clade of Australaves it would be inappropriate to call falcons closer related to parrots than other birds of prey because the Austravalaves definition includes Cariamiformes (like the terror bird) which are also birds of prey.
You sound like one of those antieufalconimorphaeists.
I'm just a cariamiformes truther. #allbirdsofprey
I'll need to see your long-form hatch certificate to know whether you're an African or European swallow. Do you even migrate, bro?
I think I finally understand that glazed look people get in their eyes when I nerd out about computers.
Tldr: Tumblr OP forgot that falcons are closely related to these mfers
