i have had a lot of thought on this over the years from a sparrow to a albatross and i do believe that the common accepted ideas do not add up to modern calculations. birds fly so well simply because they have hollow bones. birds fly so well because the have enormous wing muscles.Flap artists: Birds sync wing beats in V formation - Do you formation guys at YFT feel this?
The next time you see birds flying in a V, consider this: A new study says they choreograph the flapping of their wings with exquisite precision to help them on their way.
