Of The Few Extant Fixed-wing Bird Species, The Hermit Warbler Is Perhaps The Most Intriguing. Where Other

Of the few extant fixed-wing bird species, the Hermit Warbler is perhaps the most intriguing. Where other flapless birds are content to catch strong winds in order to take flight (thus limiting their habitat), these plucky warblers will climb coniferous trees as tall as two Robosauruses stacked atop each other before leaping off and gliding. It is currently unknown why they do this however, as their diet primarily consists of spiders and other crawling insects that do not require being airborne to catch.
