Which flight adaptation occurs when a bird with high wing loading soars at low speeds?

A)Increased camber maintains lift coefficient✓

B)Reduced alula reduces stall angle

C)Decreased drag increases glide ratio

D)Increased aspect ratio delays tip vortices

💡 Explanation

When a bird with high wing loading soars at low speeds, increased camber becomes crucial because the airfoil's curvature enhances lift generation without increasing airspeed by actively reshaping the wing. Therefore increased camber results, rather than alula manipulation, glide ratio modifications or aspect ratio, which are less effective at low speeds.
