Strange Incidents: Does the 'Never-Flying Bird' Exist – A Bird That Even Sleeps and Mates While Flying?

Hello everyone, I am Inch Worm Oddities, starting today's strange and unusual news. Have you ever heard of a magical bird without feet, legend says it can fly over mountains and seas, it doesn't have feet so it cannot land, it can only…fly forever, even foraging and mating in the sky, when tired it sleeps in the sky with the wind. It cannot land anywhere, the bird without feet can only land once in its lifetime, that is the moment of birth. So is there really such a bird?Bird without feetI think the answer is affirmative, just not as exaggerated as the legend, this 'bird without feet' is very likely the Swift.Because the Swift in Greek translates to 'the bird without feet'.

In China, we are familiar with the common Swallow, because the Swift's legs are short and it cannot jump up like sparrows, it can only climb to a high place and take off by gliding.

Furthermore, the feet of the Swift have undergone severe degeneration, belonging topān jīng - climbing birds), its four toes grow forward, unlike other birds which have three toes in front and one in back, so it can only cling to trees, it cannot walk or jump on the ground.Therefore, based on the above, I think the prototype of the bird without feet is the Swift.

Although the Swift is not good at survival on land, as a flying expert, doesn't it make sense not to stay on land? Fly! The Swift's body is very small, but its wings are very long and wide, which is very beneficial for its flight, allowing it to use wind power for gliding.

The Swift's body length is about 10 centimeters, plus its streamlined shape, its head is very small, and its wings are in a swirling shape, these external factors have created the Swift's exceptional endurance.
