Not real bird wings of course, but very
good imitations that have a little engine
to
make them flap and flutter realistically,
or
fold away against the side of the head
when required e.g. to keep the ears warm
on a cold day.
For the gentleman at the extreme end of
the testosterone
scale there is the Hawk,
or any of the other various birds of prey.
For others there is the Vulture to
consider.
Dubious night folk may be attracted to
the
leathery black wings of the bat family.
Athletes will naturally want to equip
themselves with the high speed grace of
the Kestrel, or the long distance elegance
of the Albatross.
For others only the blazing colour of a
tropical bird will suffice to compliment a
summer outfit.
Regular preening and maintenance will
keep the replica feathers in perfect
condition.
Bird Hats are supplemented with a range
of accessories i.e. tails, heads, necks and
beaks that can be mixed and matched,
though only a total twit would go out
with
condor wings, chicken head and
humming
bird's tail on a baseball cap.

Make the wings really adaptive and really aerodynamic so that they are density and shape faded from as hard and thick as possible to as thin and floppy as possible, keeping the wing stiff enough to never bend back on itself and as springy as possile, and you will not need any motor. If you solidly anchor the hat to your head and make the wings perfectly adaptive enough you will be alble to gyroscopically undulate yourself through the air. |

Well if'n that don't just put a feather in your cap. |

A few feathers in the hat, no problem, but
half a bird? I'm sorry but it seems too
close to what's left of roadkill. I think it
would fade like the pet rock. What will you
do when rich people start wanting the "real
thing"? |

Baseball caps already have bills. |

My original idea was that the wings would
be reverse engineered so that instead of
providing lift, they would force the hats
further down on the heads of wearers on a
windy day - inspired by a blowy weekend
here. |

what works for birds can work for hats |

Sounds great! Can't wait to be the first person on the block with a chicken hat. Course, mine will be be modified to include chicken feet to grip my ears so I won't have to worry about a windy day. |

Buffalo wings sound awfully heavy to me. Course, I guess you could always to hang gliding. |
