David Attenborough offers an array of insights in to how birds have adapted to the air space and perfected the skills needed to fly. Though take-off is exhausting, and landing can be fraught with difficulties, birds are the masters of the air. They can fly with their wings back at speeds in excess of two hundred miles per hour, or remain in a completely stationary hover. But how do birds even manage to stay airborne?

@CleverIdiocy I mean I'm just taking an introductory ornitholgy class at my university. Most colleges in the US offers ornitholgy classes. If you're talking about a school that specializes in only birds, there are probably graduate schools for that

@majornewb Be more specific? It's sort of my dream to go to a school that teaches ornithology.

Anyone can just start flapping their arms to fly, but to master the art of flight, that takes determination.
