Both birds would have had minor mutations that make their beaks slightly longer, allowing them to be advantaged, which over time caused a long beak to evolve.

it didnt evolve the african americans were taken from there home in africa to america. thay had no choice
Convergent Evolution
The flying squirrel came from North America
That would be an example of convergent evolution. This happens when two unrelated species develop similar structures that have a similar form or function. There is a common need at the core of the issue, but the specific situation and adaption may be different. For example, insects, birds and bats have all evolved to have wings, yet they cannot be considered genetically related. The same goes for two independent species of birds both adapting to have long beaks for reaching into flowers. -------------------Because that is the way God created them...:)
Convergent evolution is the type of evolution in which unrelated organisms independently evolve similarities when adapting to similar environments. This can result in different species developing similar traits or characteristics as a result of facing similar selective pressures.
It doesn't work like that. If Africa was a tundra, giraffes would die.

because unrelated species can evolve similar traits through convergent evolution.
Hyenas originally live in sub-Saharan Africa.

Hummingbirds and sunbirds have independently evolved long beaks as an example of convergent evolution, where unrelated species develop similar traits in response to similar environmental pressures. Both types of birds feed on nectar from flowers, which often requires specialized beak shapes for efficient feeding. Natural selection favors individuals with longer beaks if they can access more food resources, thereby increasing their reproductive success. Over time, this leads to the development of similar adaptations despite their different evolutionary backgrounds.
