The longest tail of any bird that lives today is found on one of the Birds of Paradise in New Guinea; the tail is more than 1 metre long, while the rest of the bird is less than 20 cm long! This bird flies very well from tree to tree, so it is reasonable to assume that the first birds could fly with their much shorter tails!
