Not like there's always been cars influencing birds wingspans.It doesn't matter what they think, they've failed to provide any evidence of this being a new development. Oh and as for your argument - that would only be applicable if cars are the only reason the bird would ever need to shorten or lengthen its wings. I'd imagine shorter wings would also do quite nicely in more heavily forested areas that need to be more carefully navigated - no?
