First honest thing I've read in this thread. Lift is caused by
feathers is
a
known scientific fact and I can prove it .

I hate to get involved in these "what causes lift" threads but this is
nonsense. An ostrich after all, with all it's feathers, CAN'T FLY. I
already stated a couple weeks ago that flight is magic. A well known
fact. Such silliness as "feathers" and "lift demons" is just an
attempt to avoid being burnt at the stake by the fearful masses.

Ostriches just don't have enough feathers to fly. As demonstrated by the
Canada Goose, one pound of feathers lifts five pounds. An average 250
pound ostrich needs 50 pounds of feathers to fly.
