The issue with flightless azdarchids is that the wings are not atrophied like you would see in flightless birds. One would think the wing fingers would shrink for a dedicated ground dweller as it would get in the way.

That's a very good point and one I never thought of myself. I makes a lot sense too as modern day flightless birds (like ostriches and emus) have atrophied wings.

[@reuireuiop0]

One could theorise, much in the vein of giant trekking birds like albatross, Islands like Hatzeg might have been the site of large Azhdarghid rookeries, or (in the likely case they weren't social beasts) a safe place for such large flying animals to safely raise their young. After breeding they could travel the world with season winds (and seasonal prey) and return for a new breeding period. Sure these flying animals would notice a local absence of large Theropod predators.

[@bkjeong4302]

Pterosaur flaplings could fly immediately after hatching, so probably not necessary for them to nest in such places.

[@velocipastor676]

Pterosaurs didn't build nests. They reproduced turtle style, by burying the leathery eggs and abandoning them.

[@reuireuiop0]

Is there proof for just hatched pterosaurs flying, in any species ? Birds of that size do have to learn to fly, even if hatchlings of big birds can walk & swim as soon as they leave the nest. Takes a lot of flaps to do your first flight, especially if you have to learn to launch yourself like scientists think pterosaurs jumpstart their flight. Actually, there is proof that adult Dino's did take care of nests, fossils having been found right next to it. As Hatzego fossils are rare, this will be hard to prove, but aren't their any finds of Ptero fossils near to their young ? Even with little nest care, all turtle style, a predator free island is a very major factor in the survival of birds today, and one can be pretty sure that big flying reptiles would prefer islands to lay eggs, the only land beasts being able to reach far off isles at will. Even more so if Hatzego abandoned nest, as their young would have a much greater chance to take to the sky if there'd be no predator whatsoever around preying to pick up flaplings directly after hatching.

[@velocipastor676]

@@reuireuiop0 I'm not sure how hatchling pterosaurs took flight, they either started off gliding or they simply were already well developed enough to launch from the ground. No evidence has been found of pterosaurs building nests or having social behaviour, which makes sense since they were rather primitive compared to dinosaurs.

I find it really interesting how the isolated ecology of islands lead to animals fitting in to unlikely niches. For example, kiwis take the role of a rat-like waste scavenger in New Zealand, due to a lack of actual rats and similar rodents on the island. A KIWI IS LITERALLY JUST A BIRD RAT.

[@JM-nm3bg]

Originally two words “hat szeg” pronounced “haat seg” = “back corner” although the word “szeg” may have originally meant something more like domain, county or property/land held in common by a community.

[@BeyondDreamTime]

* Hátszeg. (Has meaning, where "Hațeg" is a bastardised verbal mimicry homonym without meaning, same as the province where it is located, Hunyadvár having meaning, whereas "Hunedoara" has none, besides being an approximation that sounds "Romanian," which is itself a lofty bastardisation of the region to make it sound "Roman" - and same as some nearby villages that include Alsószilvás and Felsőszilvás, which again have obvious horticultural meaning, unlike their bastardised Romanian versions, "Silvașu," meaningless.) And, on the subject of pronunciation, Hátszeg is pronounced, approximately, as "Haa[h]-t-seg," with a long "a" ("Say 'AAH!' "). "Hát" meaning "Back" and "szeg" meaning anything from nail to nook or "fringe," so in this case it might be the equivalent of "Backwoods Island." (Only partly joking there, the name literally meaning "Back Nook/ Fringe Island," or an out-of-the-way place.)
