So cladograms, for my biology class we have to make a cladogram for the bird group which includes Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, Robin, Scarlet Finch, and Peruvian Pelican. I already made a texonomy chart which I'll post in a second; but I don't know what my cladogram should reflect as far as traits and I'm not really sure how they work because the help video is down on the website... any help is appreciated c: THANKS!

Did you watch it? I just did, and it seems quite helpful, although I admit it doesn't tell you what traits to choose.

Yuh, I'm gonna watch it right now, I think I could probably just base the traits off of color or beaks.
