I'm like an ornithologist when I get miffed

[YoungRemy]

You must have drank a Fizzy Lifting Drink and you got lifted
And sifted, I'm just riffin'
When I catch MCs, it's time for wing-clippin'

I fly like a hawk, or better yet an eagle
A seagull, I sniff suckers out like a beagle
My ego is off and runnin' and gone
'Cause I'm about the best and if you fess well, that's wrong


While early ornithology was principally concerned with descriptions and distributions of species, ornithologists today seek answers to very specific questions, often using birds as models to test hypotheses or predictions based on theories.

Most modern biological theories apply across taxonomic groups and the number of professional scientists who identify themselves as "ornithologists" has therefore declined.

A wide range of tools and techniques are used in ornithology, both inside the laboratory and out in the field, and innovations are constantly made.

Indeed and an interesting observation.

John James Audubon was not the first person to attempt to paint and describe all the birds of America, but for half a century he was the young country’s dominant wildlife artist.

His seminal Birds of America, a collection of 435 life-size prints is still a standard against which 20th and 21st century bird artists, such as Roger Tory Peterson and David Sibley, are measured.

Clipping your bird's wings can seem like a daunting task, and indeed it takes patience and practice to master. In the wrong hands, wing clipping can be a bit risky, but if you have a steady hand and are good at following directions, then you should be able to minimize any hazards and do a good job. By following a few simple steps, you can learn to safely clip your own bird's wings at home without having to make frequent vet visits and paying fees to have it done for you.

Different people like different styles of wing-clipping, but in general the most widely accepted, efficient, and effective method is to clip only the first five primary flight feathers on each of your bird's wings.
