Bird Wings, I, II, and III [Orig, Jan. 3-5, 2010]
Bird Wings
Bird wings apparently evolved first as thermoregulatory flaps, but as the birds still couldn't get cool enough, they started climbing up things and jumping off.
Bird Wings, 2
A goose could cook itself by simply refusing to flap its wings.
Bird Wings, 3
The phoenix, like the quetzel, has feathers that don't stop growing. When the phoenix's feathers get so heavy it can't flap its wings or fly, it also gets so hot it spontaneously combusts, either burning off enough feathers that it can, quite dramatically, fly away, or just turning the whole bird to ash. It is not true that the bird can reconstitute itself if it is entirely ash.
