minus-square@berryjamOPlink1•9 months agoTIL about birds having an oil gland that makes them waterproof 🤔
minus-square@IMongooselink2•9 months agoYa, this is the best video I could find to show what I’m talking about ~7min in, ignore the inspirational text if you want: https://youtu.be/gGwKdg53W6k?si=AboK8A44Tdmi8ZMX You can see the water beading up instead of absorbing, and sometimes just bouncing off completely. If the bird roused (shook) it would be pretty dry.
