insessores
Insessores is an obsolete term that was previously used in the classification of birds, often referring to a group known as "perching birds" or passerines. These are birds characterized by their ability to perch or cling to branches and other structures with their feet. It is no longer in scientific use due to changes in understanding of avian taxonomy and evolution.
