A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut. Change our mind.⁣ 🥥🐦 ⁣ Wings flapping per second? Is it a simple question of weight ratios? Does a African or European swallow make a difference? You tell us. ⁣ Whether you're casually taking note of your surroundings, or traveling the nation in search of birds to add to your checklist, people of all ages can enjoy identifying birds (can they grip it by the husk?) in a national park. What’s a bird that caught your attention while visiting a park? Is there a bird on your checklist that you finally saw in person?
