Abstract	Mitchell et al. argue that divergence-time estimates for our avian phylogeny were too young because of an 'inappropriate' maximum age constraint for the most recent common ancestor of modern birds and that, as a result, most modern bird orders diverged before the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event 66 million years ago instead of after. However, their interpretations of the fossil record and timetrees are incorrect.
