Birds with hands

[-] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

How does this make more sense? They can't bend their beaks the same way we can bend our thumb and finger

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Touch the tip of your index (also known as fore finger)to the tip of your thumb. There is no bending involved and you can generate a decent amount of force and pick things up that way.

This changes everything. Only going to use my beak for eating now.

Some kind of can. But not really the same way.

If you think this is fucked up, birds have tiny little deformed hands on their wings kind of like how animators will reduce the scale of a bone for a part of a model they want to hide.

From the foundational textbook "Garden of Earthly Delights" by H. Bosch et al

I'm sorry I still don't totally understand. I don't mean to be dumb, I just really wish they labeled the different parts.

I looked closely at it, comparing it to the pigeon currently nesting in our windowbox, and I can definitely say they do not look the same.

See my reply to the other person in this thread.

But where's the mouth functionality?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I guess that orange arrow from the left points at that place

I just want to know if birds go around thinking, “Crushing your head! Crushing your head!”

Has science gone too far? Find out in the scattered audio logs left behind in the mysteriously abandoned research complex.

Ah yes because so many birds have prehensile beaks lol

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

A bunch of birds have prehensile beaks; it just means "grasping". Macaws, parrots, and cockatoos for example.
