For several years the birds-of-paradise were treated as being closely connected to the bowerbirds. Today while both are managed as belonging to the Australasian lineage Corvida, the two are now just believed to be distantly related. The closest evolutionary relatives of the birds-of-paradise are the crow as well as jay family Corvidae, the monarch flycatchers Monarchidae as well as the Australian mudnesters Struthideidae.
