Birdwatching goes both ways shirt

Realizing that starlings are not pure swimmers but can master this method, scientists believe that it is evidence that swimming is an innate ability in some birds. They know how to use reasonable speeds and adjust the curvature of their wings to overcome water resistance. Birds also know how to use their legs to change direction. The test team put the bird in the water and used high-resolution cameras to record the process. As a result, starlings surprised them by their sudden ability to swim.
