Fact: To gain the favor of hens and more opportunities to mate with them, roosters will call them over to share treats that they find. This is called "tidbitting". Sometimes, roosters will call the hen over and eat the treat themselves, but doing this too often is risky for the rooster as the hen will remember!

Fact: The Sooty Tern spends more time in the air than any other bird. It takes off over the ocean and flies for at least 3 years without settling on water or land. Swifts also spend most of their lives in the air. They can even sleep in the air by gliding on air currents with their wings outstretched.

Fact: Time passes faster for your face than for your feet (assuming you’re standing up). Einstein’s theory of relativity dictates that the closer you are to the centre of the Earth, the slower time goes – and this has been measured. At the top of Mount Everest, a year would be about 15 microseconds shorter than at sea level.
