Aves artissime dinornithiformibus cognatae secundum studia genetica sunt Tinamidae, aves AmericaeAustralis et Mediae, quae volare possunt, olim grex sororius palaeognatharum habitae.[6] Novem species dinornithiformium erant solae aves quae alis vestigialibus, proprietatibus etiam omnium aliarum palaeognatharum, omnino carebant. Erant maxima animaliaterrestria et herbivora praevalentia in silva, terra fruticum, et oecosystematibus subalpinis in Nova Zelandia usque ad Maoros adventos, et praedanaturalis erant solum Hieraaeti moorei, maximae orbis terrarum speciei accipitridarum (nunc etiam exstinctae). Dinornithiformes exstincti sunt ducentos fere annos post homines adventos, plerumque propter nimium venationis.[4]
