I wonder what kind of upkeep and body language the angels and demons in Good Omens have with regards to their wings, that we just can’t see. They must have wings all the time, regardless of whether we’re on the right plane of existence to see them. But they probably can. They can probably see each others’ wings. So what do their wings say?? How do they hold them?? What do they do with them?

Do their wings droop open when they’re too warm? Do they do flappy stretches like chickens do? Do angels like to sunbathe like my peafowl do, with a wing or a leggy out?

Do they preen their own wings? They don’t have very long necks that we’ve seen. Do they have a uropygial gland (basically a little gland with a… a nipple, I guess, that secretes oil they can use to make their feathers shiny and good)? Where is it? Is there social preening for hard to reach places or for affection, the way parrots do?

Do they ever mantle their wings like hawks? When Aziraphale is eating something he really enjoys, does he sweep his wings around and make himself a little wing fort of “don’t touch my food”?

When they’re getting ready to fight, we see both Aziraphale and Crowley raising their wings up like geese and swans.

Do they ever dust bathe or water bathe to help get the sheaths off new feathers? Is there some celestial equivalent of Anting, where eagles or a couple hundred other kinds of birds go and roll around in an ant’s nest so the ants will kill off their ectoparasites?

Mother birds of all sorts often protectively cover their babies with their wings to keep them safe and dry…

what other language and care are we missing by not being able to see their wings, I must know

pretty sure birds were somewhat modeled on angels, so if a birb does it then somewhere, somewhen an angel did it

but uh…preening wings and then eating the bugs, that’s a little bit gross and i don’t even wanna think about what kind of crawlies angels could get stuck in their wings

Let’s be real here, this one doesn’t seem to mind having a crawley in his wing

But I can totally see the demons do the bug thing... 🤔🤔
