High-speed video footage was used by the researchers to reveal how chicks react when they fall from a perch. And it showed a remarkable ability in young birds to perform a complex manoeuvre in mid-air, from as early as one day after they have hatched.

They found that day-old baby birds could successful use their wings to right themselves when they fall, a skill that improves with age. By nine days after hatching, 100 percent of the birds in the study had developed coordinated or symmetric flapping, plus body pitch control to right themselves. Robert Dudley, UC Berkeley professor of integrative biology, one of its authors said on the Berkeley website: 'From day one, post-hatching, 25 percent of these birds can basically roll in midair and land on their feet when you drop them. 'This suggests that even rudimentary wings can serve a very useful aerodynamic purpose.'
