Species sheet : Birds (Aves) are a class of tetrapod vertebrates characterized by bipedalism, wings and a toothless beak. Surviving the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, modern birds (Neornithes) are the only living representatives of theropod dinosaurs. In 2020-2021, there are around 10,700 to 11,150 recorded species of birds, more than half of which are passerines.
