 So? At least in the case of known basal pygostylians, they're all well past
the beginning of flight anyways, so I wouldn't expect them to be like the
urvogel, in terms of behavior, anyways. They've got to be adapted to their
 environment, no matter how phylogenetically low in the tree they are, so
their behavior might be very different from you first flier, and therefore
their osteological adaptations might be different, in some respects.
