Evolutionists have stretched the history of wild live to centuries. For example, one millionyears ago, "the soundtrack of the "sky island" mountains of East Africa may have been very similar to what it is today. That's because a group of tiny, colourful birds has been singing the exact same tunes for more than 500,000 years — and maybe as long as 1 million years, according to a new study.

Sunbirds in the family Nectariniidae are colourful, tiny, nectar-feeding birds that resemble hummingbirds and are common throughout Africa and Asia. They are the ‘little jewels that appear before you’, senior author Rauri Bowie, a professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and a curator in the school's Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, said in a statement. "

Bowie and his team recorded the songs of these birds, they found out that the isolated populations still sing the same songs

While evolutionists suppose that mountain birds in the Northern Hemisphere change, the mountains of East Africa have seen very little geological change and thus did not have to change,
