Scientists believe they are a step closer to building drones that can mimic the way birds fly, after designing a robot using real pigeon feathers. Dubbed PigeonBot, the robot is able to manoeuvre in the air, dive down, and make sharp turns as nimbly as a bird. Researchers from the University of Stanford in the US used 40 pigeon feathers to design the bot’s wings, which were connected to artificial limbs, consisting of “wrists” and “fingers”, using elastic bands.

Revealing his diagnosis six dates in, Alison, of Pontefract, West Yorkshire, recalled the dad-of-three advising her to end their romance, saying: "It was all very serious and, in his head, I think he believed he was doing the right thing - the noble thing, "But, of course, by that point I was head over heels and walking away was the last thing I was about to do."
