When nearly fledged the young are compelled by the adult 

 birds to cling to the wall to which the nest is attached. Note the 

 long wings of the adult bird. The spines of the tail show on one 

 young. What is their use? 



Nu SwC6 Adult with Young Clinging to Wall, One Bird Still in

 spines on tail. Observe how all four toes are directed forward.
