Tägitaksitas

Tägitaksitas, also known as the "tag-tail" or "tail-tag," is a small, often triangular or pointed structure found at the end of the tail feathers of certain bird species. This distinctive feature is most commonly observed in birds of prey, such as hawks, eagles, and falcons. The primary function of the tägitaksitas is to aid in flight control and stability. It helps the bird maintain balance and maneuverability during high-speed flights and sharp turns. The shape and size of the tägitaksitas can vary among species, reflecting their unique flight characteristics and ecological adaptations. In some cases, the tägitaksitas may also serve as a visual signal to other birds, indicating the bird's species or status within the flock. Despite its small size, the tägitaksitas plays a crucial role in the aerodynamics and overall flight performance of birds of prey.
