A Winter Spirit Who Brings Song To The Winter Wind. Their Chimes Announce Their Presence Wherever They

So funny when there aren't any good public domain photos of a person so the wikipedia article has to have a really low quality one but this solution is a new one to me.

hehehehehe!!

Ohtori!

I don't know about other birds, but parrots do this thing where they'll suddenly just stop and stare at their feet for a moment, as if realising they have them for the first time, even pinning their eyes and looking like they're thinking WOAH

From previous fossils, they already knew the dinosaur had asymmetric feathers, which are vital to creating thrust in modern, flying birds. But the hard slab of limestone around this specimen had also preserved a key layer of feathers called tertials that had never been documented before in Archaeopteryx.

“It’s important that this is the first time these feathers have been seen,” John Nudds, a paleontologist at the University of Manchester in England who didn’t participate in the study, tells the Guardian’s Hannah Devlin. “These new feathers seen in this beautifully preserved specimen—as well as the asymmetric feathers—confirms it could fly.”
