Alula is a key structure in bird wings, consisting of a small cluster of feathers attached to the first digit (equivalent to a bird's "thumb"). It plays a crucial role in flight, especially during slow speeds, takeoffs, and landings. By manipulating the alula, birds can control airflow over their wings, preventing stalling and enhancing maneuverability. When raised, the alula creates a small airfoil that helps maintain lift by smoothing out the airflow. This adaptation is particularly important for birds that require precision in flight, such as raptors and songbirds.
