Actually, see "Survival of birds in the digital age", by Bill B. Bent
(grandson of A.C. no doubt!), documenting how many such birds are now
travelling in rectangles instead of perfect circles, forming figure 8's,

making more fonts available on your wrist), watch for an increase in
these species when perfect circles are again available.
