Robert M. Zink, an ornithologist with the Bell Museum of Natural History at the University of Minnesota, said that birds made this wholesale transformation to nesting in human habitation. Dr. Zink and colleagues analyzed the mitochondrial DNA of birds from about 20 sites around the world. Dr. Zink said he expected to find Old and New World birds to be genetically different, and generally the results, published in The Proceedings of the Royal Society B, showed that to be so.
