So useful. Almost makes me want to attempt a decent bird outline. I think I will in fact

Did you all know bird wings have the same bones as human hands, whale flippers, bat wings, etc.? Humerus, radius/ulna, carpals, and the finger bones

^ Yes, they're called homologous structures.

Yeah, that's the magic of evolution. We all evolved from similar things, but as new challenges sprung up, some grew fins, some wings, some hands.

Yes, those are their ankles, thier knees are buried under their feathers. Think of your ankle. Do they bend backwards? c: Hope that helps
