Cora is a parrotlet. Parrotlets use a flying technique called intermittent flight, which is common in small birds and consists of pauses during which the wings are flexed (bound) or extended (glide). Flap-bounding appears to be an energy-saving style when flying relatively fast, with the production of lift by the body and tail critical to this saving. Flap-gliding is thought to be less costly than continuous flapping during flight at most speeds. So not only is she an excellent flyer, she is an efficient one too! #wings #flying #fly #flight #coraline #parrotlet #jump #fall #dive #parrot #bird #parrotlover #parrotsofig #parrotsofinstagram #bird #birdsoftiktok #birdtok #birdtraining #birdtricks #birdlover #education #rescue
