Palaeodictyoptera do not have six wings, the extra appendages are known as prothoracic paranotal lobes and are basically chitinous plates which may have been used by these prehistoric insects to stabilise flight profiles.

Why does a bird flying with outstretched wings seems to glide to the ground while a bird with its wings tucked in tightly nose dives to the ground?

When a bird stretches its wings, it increases the surface area of its wings, creating more lift and slowing down the descent. On the other hand, when a bird tucks its wings in tightly, it reduces the surface area and increases the speed, causing a faster descent similar to a nose dive. This difference in wing position alters the balance between lift and gravity, affecting the bird's flight path.

Do chickens really have fingers?

Chicken fingers are cuts of breast meat approximately three inches long. Chickens have wings and toes, but no fingers. They used to, but some fella named Sanders took em' all and made a fortune selling them. Even bought an honorary military title with the earnings. Hens now a days just come with wings but they are getting rarer now since Sanders ran outta fingers and started selling wings, when they run out watch for chicken toes and a product called "the parsons nose" soon to be marketed ( the parsons nose is the south end of a north bound chicken) "wink."
