Caption:
The club-winged manakin is the only bird known to sing with its feathers, pictured at top. The bird uses a club-shaped feather as a pick to rake the ridges of another feather. It does this by raising its wings over its back, and shaking them back and forth more than 100 times a second so that one feather rubs the other like a spoon moving across a washboard.

Well, this is an interesting bird. I wonder why it still has sold wing bones, and how the mechanism for making that noise evolved?
