Row row, fight the... Laws of gravity? My beak is the beak that will pierce the heavens?
There's a reason Gurren Lagann didn't focus on bird people.

** Yeets the galaxy **
I was under the impression (from what I learned about how planes fly) that the spirals were actually a bad thing since energy was lost to turbulence via those (and hence why commercial jets have winglets on their wingtips) and the good part is the laminar flow of the air over and under the wings.
Is this not so in animal flight?
Thanks, the paper linked from that Wikipedia entry is very interesting.
This is a JoJo Steel Ball Run reference a bit
That bird is the golden ratio.
Eeee! Spirals!
Who is this Eddy guy anyway?
Last I heard he was in the space-time continuum, and may or may not be missing a couch…
Be careful, I once befriended the spirals on acid and I couldn't find my penis for a solid couple minutes. It was like it had spiraled away to another place. They'll getcha!
Even the birds are leaving chemtrails
Spiral out. Keep going. Spiral out.
