The European Sylvia warbler
may take a longer flight when they migrate around Europe in coming years, due to climate change.
But, what really amazes me is what these birds to to prepare for the journey. The pack on the fat before their flight, gorging themselves on high-fat bird delicacies AND their organs shrink so the fat (their to-go food) can be processed more efficiently.
Birds are amazing. When i was at the Natural History Museum last week for their first Friday talk and mingling music event, i snuck upstairs (along with throngs of other people) to visit the dinosaur bone work room and gaze at the bird exhibit behind glass. Birds were given awards: one pelican won 'largest bill' and a hummingbird won 'fastest flap' or something.
Then, there was a bird that won 'longest time in the air' with nine years, or something crazy like that. Anyone know what bird that is?
I didn't stay at the Natural History Museum for very long, but i was there long enough to realize it was a success--i've never seen a Museum event so well attended. My favorite part was the DJ in the African Mammals wing or maybe the tweens waiting for the slowcore band in the North American mammals wing.
