I'm not an ornithologist but birds don't need to consume jet fuel to fly hundreds of miles either.

But of course it helps.

True, after ingesting a stomach's worth of jet fuel the bird is powered for the rest of its life.

In bird culture, this is considered a dick move

Not really, it’s mainly a defense mechanism against hunters
