Abstract
This is an accepted article with a DOI pre-assigned that is not yet published.
Many people wonder: what's the deal with birds? This is a common query. Birds are pretty weird. I mean, they have feathers. WTF? Most other animals don't have feathers. To investigate this issue, I looked at some birds. I looked at a woodpecker, a parrot, and a penguin. They were all pretty weird! In conclusion, we may never know the deal with birds, but further study is warranted. This is a copy of this article 10.33552/SJRR.2020.02.000540.
