Cloaked Birds?

I am the only one who thinks that birds would look so much better in capes and cloaks. It would make birds so much more interesting and would cheer you. Each kind of bird would have a unique cloak/cape. Just imagine a majestic eagle sitting on a tree branch, bundled in thick cloak. And the cloak would have a hood, so that only the beak of the bird could be seen. It would be like a Jedi bird, except it would not solve galactic disputes and wield a mysterious energy.

Of course, the cloaks would only work on big birds, like raptors. I mean, just imagine some tiny sparrow just struggling to stay in the air, vigorously flapping its wings while the cloak weighs it down. For the smaller birds a cape would be ideal, similar to those found on superheroes. Yes, that is the utopia I someday want to live in.

Speaking of birds, do you know there is a cuckoo bird mafia. Seriously, I'm not joking. Cuckoo birds will lay eggs in other birds nests, so that the other bird will raise and care for the chicks. If a bird with cuckoo eggs/chicks refuses to care for the cuckoo eggs, a group of cuckoo birds will come and break the bird's own eggs, until it gives care for the cuckoo eggs. That is pretty messed up eh?
