I'm not a doctor, so I can't comment on the rest of your article, but this
is pure horsepuckey. That particular peice of popular anti-scientific
folklore is based on an incorrect interpretation of the study. The correct
statement should be: "according to known aerodynamical principles, the
bumblebee cannot glide." You want to know something? The bumblebee cannot
glide!

And how do you know your one sparrow isn't a clever mock-up?
