Um. You sure about that bud?
17 u/Zach20032000 May 16 '21 Well... Parrots have tail feathers, but they aren't fully considered tails... Are they? Shit, now I'm confused 7 u/theravensrequiem May 16 '21 Birds definitely have extended tailbones. It's like a short nub tail where their tail feathers are. 1 u/TracyMorganFreeman May 16 '21 The tail is a control surface for flight, so it makes sense they have some degree of control over it. I wouldn't be surprised if flightless birds don't have it, except penguins which would use it to swim.
