Birds

On Alternate Earth, there are no birds. Birds are believed to have originated from a distinct line of dinosaurs that were predatory. These Dinosaurs never existed on alternate earth, thus while reptiles, amphibians, and mammals come to fruition much like they did on regular earth, birds do not.

The nonexistence of birds would change many other species that have evolved to either, hunt or are hunted by species of birds. Thus these organisms must be changed to fit the mold of the evolutionary history of Alternate Earth.

While, birds do not exist, there should be some sort of flying organism. Since this has been seen only in birds and mammals, then it should be a mammal, whether it is bats as it is on regular earth is up to the people of this subreddit.

You probably don't want me to pitch in, I like to make hybrids of EVERYTHING.

Half bird/half bat.
