Title: This bird refuses to land Written by: duddy on Aug 18, 2015 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_18_08_15_10_26_29.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=22305) Scientists have recorded an Alpine swift bird (Tachymarptis melba) that has stayed in flight for more than six months without landing. These awesome birds are known to turn-off half of their brains alternatively to sleep semi-consciously, drink by gliding across surfaces of lakes or rivers, and eat flying insects. |
