It doesn't matter what they think, they've failed to provide any evidence of this being a new development. Oh and as for your argument - that would only be applicable if cars are the only reason the bird would ever need to shorten or lengthen its wings. I'd imagine shorter wings would also do quite nicely in more heavily forested areas that need to be more carefully navigated - no?

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
