Bird wears GOGGLES and flies through lasers in experiment to design winged robots

The tiny bird, named Obi, is a member of the second smallest parrot species The aim of the study was to gain insight into how birds generate enough lift to fly Obi was trained to fly through lasers illuminating tiny aerosol particles This enabled researchers to track the movement of the particles, and in turn, the air movement created by the bird's flapping wings This enabled researchers to track the movement of the particles, and in turn, the air movement created by the bird's flapping wings A brave bird named Obi was issued with a pair of special goggles before flying through lasers in a bizarre experiment. This created the clearest picture to date of the wake left by a flying animals, said the researchers. The REAL paleo diet: More than 9,000 plant remains reveal...
