      Did you know, that if you took all the blood vessels from your body and laid them end to end, you would die

    Underneath the surface, we’re all Lovecraftian horrors on the inside.

      I agree it seems like AI

      But if it came from anywhere it would probably be the book he published last year.

      Dr Echols invented new technology allowing researchers to see anatomical features such as blood vessels with the use of CT. The Second Edition has all new images of CT based wing and leg anatomy clearly depicting important anatomic features for several avian species.

      https://avianstudios.com/reviews/avian-surgical-anatomy-and-orthopedic-management-second-edition/

      Which seems like a pretty credible origin to me

      I doubt this is AI. This looks right for a micro-CT angiograph.

      The blood vessels will have X-ray opaque dye injected, so they stand out on the CT. You can then set a threshold in the visualization software to filter out other tissue. The software then uses an algorithm to apply some shading to the surfaces of the unfiltered tissue to create a 3D effect.

      The red colouring is a choice of the user, it just colours darker parts red and fades out to transparency.

      I didn’t suspect AI, but using “captured” stood out to me as well. Assuming the data was CT like huginn sourced, this is a very processed resulting product. So whoever chose to use the term “capture” was too imprecise for my taste.

    Interesting, I thought their beaks were just some hard material, like our nails. Didn’t know that there’s bloodflow there.

      Most of the veins visible on the beak are for the interior lining of the mouth. You are right in that it’s similar to our nails

        Fun fact: The inside of the upper beak is where taste buds are located for parrots. Scientists are still studying to find out if this is the case for all types of birds or just some species.

    Caw? Pigeons don’t caw. It’s like OP just went “bird, I know a bird sound, caw, so I’ll use that because birds”.

    Pretty sure a similar image of OPs bead would show an empty void where the brain should be.

    Not sure I want to meet this Scott Echol, he has some kind of weird hobbies.
