to really be honest, Gargantuavis philoinos should've been a modern bird than a primitive one
[edit]I mean, it has features it shares with modern birds, such as having a beak, having a tail of feathers, lacking hands (which can be only found on primitive birds). seriously though. having a bird with modern features but placing it outside of the modern bird group is stupid. it's like how we treated Vegavis iaai as a primitive bird at one point but it's now classified as a modern bird.
Gargantuavis philoinos also has a similar look to Asteriornis maastrichtensis. like Asteriornis, it walked similarly to it, except that Asteriornis maastrichtensis probably had the ability to fly, and Gargantuavis philoinos didn't.
Note that this is my opinion on the classification. Spinnerabc (talk) 10:20, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
