Hi I am ttyo888, I come to this forum to seek knowledge for some pieces of fiction that needed some science facts to back up it's seeming fantasy creatures or environments.
Anyone who is a bird expert can help me too  |

Welcome. I used to know a lot about birds, but not the feathered kind.

Ah, but wasn't it Plato who said that man is but a featherless biped, thus allowing denuded birds to be counted amongst humanity? 
Welcome to the forum. I saw your thread in biology before I saw this one, so I've already given my (somewhat lengthy, haha) opinion. Though I'm afraid I'm not a bird expert.
