In an aviary, a recovering bird will spend all of her time perching; so caring for her feet, which are not evolved to a lifetime of bearing weight, is a top priority. Imagine, though, the chances of being killed in a helicopter by a frigatebird! As mentioned, frigatebirds spend a lot of time aloft. I’m glad we lived.
