lar physical and mental characteristics. However, these three cate-
gories of birds are not related in any way and so, are placed in dif-
ferent branches of the hypothetical evolutionary tree. First and fore-
most, no fossils of any common ancestor have been found, nor are
any similar characteristics found in other varieties of birds closely
related to these species. Accordingly, evolutionists are unable to an-
swer the question of how these categories of bird all possess the abil-
ity of being able to speak and imitate sounds, despite being so far
apart from one another on the imaginary evolutionary tree.
Gradually, therefore, research has pushed the evolutionists in-
to an impasse. For example, a test carried out on the Anna hum-
mingbird (
Calypte anna
) in 1990 established that some of the males
imitated the singing of other birds. This is firm evidence of the hum-
mingbird’s ability to learn songs. As a result of tests carried out on
talking birds, scientists concluded that when the hummingbird is
singing, its brain is activated in seven different places. This same ob-
servation also is true for songbirds and parrots.

American and Brazilian scientists’ research on hummingbirds
also invalidates unfounded claims that birds’ songs have
evolved. Hummingbirds, parrots, and songbirds are, ac-
cording to the imaginary evolutionary tree, far apart
from one another in evolutionary terms.
Yet they have remarkably
similar brain structures. This
shows that these birds are not
the descendents of a common an-
cestor, but the product of separate
Design.
