What's that bird?
Re: What's that bird?
Answers to Quiz no. 12
1. Hartlaub’s gull.
2. Namaqua dove.
3. Kitzlitz’s plover.
4. African Mourning dove.
5. Scaly-throated honeyguide.
Alulas are the 3 feathers atached to the first finger and are used as "flaps" when the angle of attack is to small to attain lift. By moving the alula feathers birds are able to cause an airflow over the top of the wings that will produce lift and help to avoid stalling.
