This paper investigates the physics of the Twin Bird Pokémon, Doduo, to determine the angular velocity required for such a flightless bird to achieve lift via the spinning of its two heads. It was found that the required rotational speed would be 1,430 rads^(-1) or 12,800 rpm. to lift its body off of the ground
