Modern birds are living dinosaurs that have evolved to become one of the most successful groups of animals on the planet - from the common pigeon to the colorful monal. Birds: Brilliant and Bizarre explains how, when it came to survival, it was birds who had the edge, outliving their reptile ancestors to become one of the most diverse groups of animals in the natural world.
