This bird is wearing teeny tiny goggles for science

Popular Science

Obi is looking fly in his custom eyewear. The orange safety goggles, adorned with tiny reflectors, fit securely over his little feathered head. But Obi the parrotlet isn't wearing these goggles to make a fashion statement. He's part of an experiment where he flies through a sheet of lasers so that researchers can see how the air around him behaves as he moves. In a paper published in Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, researchers tried to observe the wake of a bird in flight.
