Why do scientists think that a penguin and an osprey belong to the same group?

Scientists believe that penguins and ospreys belong to the same group due to their shared ancestry within the class Aves, which encompasses all birds. Molecular and genetic studies suggest that both birds have evolved from common avian ancestors. Additionally, they exhibit certain morphological and physiological traits that reflect their evolutionary relationships. These findings indicate that despite their differing lifestyles and habitats, they are part of a broader evolutionary lineage.
