bastard wing
A bastard wing, also known as alula, is a small projection on the anterior edge of the wing of a bird. It consists of three to five small, elongated feathers that are supported by a bone known as the alular quill. This structure helps the bird control its flight, providing extra lift and preventing stalling during slow flying or landing.
