"Very interesting. Like bi-wing plane designs evolved into mono-wing designs? Perhaps these critters used all four limbs for flight because they had not evolved enough strenght and power to generate lift with just one pair of limbs." Gliding requires large lift areas. I suspect their (somewhat) immediate ancestors did not have powered flight but instead used assisted gliding.

Personally, I wonder if they would make good pets. I'm a big avian pet fan. My next question - Can they talk?
