fun fact, although not closely related to hummingbirds, the birds-of-paradise were long thought to lack feet!! people saw that stuffed decorative skins of these birds didn’t have feet or wings (they were just removed during the preservation process) and assumed that the living birds also didn’t have feet or wings. they believed that the birds somehow spent their entire lives kept aloft by their plumes (the fluffy feathers). there’s even a species named “apoda”, which translates to “without feet”!!

My favorite thing about that tweet was all the comments under it from other experts saying “yeah, this happens more than you’d expect”

I’m guessing the Venn diagram of PhD’s and Autism has a high level of overlap. So basically it’s random people asking questions about their hyper-fixation

maybe they did google if they have feet, and got the latin name meaning no feet, and then started arguing even more before finally calling the professor
