My first answer, without any study of the situation, would be attitude. Behavior has the most profound and active effect on species differentiation. It could be any number of factors that would change whether a bird needed to be aggressive or passive. had an easy life or hard...etc.
This is a bit ironic - your first on-topic comments in this thread came just after posting yet another off-topic message that was apparently the final straw. We try to keep threads focused on the topic here.
It is fairly common for people to come here with something they want to talk about, but they often introduce it in the wrong thread. What you apparently most want to talk about would be fine in threads where it is on-topic, and if you can't find a satisfactory thread then simply propose a new one over at [forum=-25].

Sorry, I'm not supposed to talk.
Not in this thread, no, but here you are anyway. We could ban you from the [forum=-5] forum. Is that what you what?
I've only read a few of your posts, and it looks like you can post substantively and on-topic when the mood strikes you, so I offer you a deal: for as long as you stay in the mood I won't ban you from this forum.
So you can resume posting in this thread (unless AdminNosy has objections), all we ask is that you follow the Forum Guidelines. Nobody's perfect here, we're not asking for perfection, all we want is for people to by and large stay on topic, and to show a sincere interest in helping the discussion move forward.
I think one of the continuing problems this discussion board faces with some Christians is that when they encounter what they see as atheistic science they abandon any pretense of civility and begin treating the rules of discussion and the discussion itself with scorn and disdain.
So okay, you thumb your nose at the big bad atheists (you may be surprised to discover, by the way, that most evolutionists are not atheists) and get banned, and if that's what you're going for then it won't be hard to achieve. But if you're sincerely interested in discussion then you'll be here a long time.
You may resume posting to this thread.
