Bird facts Friday

Shoe, 9/22/23

Perfesser Cosmo Fishhawk is, according to the (alarmingly detailed) table in the Shoe Wikipedia page, an osprey, and ospreys, according to the (about as detailed as you'd expect) osprey Wikipedia page, sight their prey "when the osprey is 10–40 m (33–131 ft) above the water, after which the bird hovers momentarily and then plunges feet first into the water." So it seems kind of odd that the Perfesser would be scared to skydive, though I guess he gets most of his sustenance from Roz's diner and mindlessly eating potato chips in front of the TV, so maybe he's just really out of practice.
