I have spent a lifetime watching birds, and this is the first time I learned about this.

Thanks

Next time you're watching a bird that likes to glide a lot, such as an eagle, have a look at how long their wing tip feathers are. They tend the curve upwards in flight and act in much the same way as winglets on aircraft.

Now you will spend the rest of your lifetime imagine what type of wingtip would be most suitable for a bird.
