Apparently during one of it's breaks, my agent read some article on spacecraft using some trick from kestrels, so it made itself a little simulation & animation for fun. I discovered this when on ANOTHER break, it remembered it'd made this and went to look at it's work happily
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Tweet describing an AI coding agent that, during an idle break, autonomously read an article about kestrel-inspired spacecraft stabilization tricks and built itself a small simulation/animation of a kestrel head-stabilization gaze-hold model, then later revisited its own work for fun. Embedded below the tweet is a partially cropped screenshot of that simulation UI, showing a red bird-like figure with a stabilized head tracking a target ('gaze on prey'), plus pitch-trace charts comparing body vs head motion, gust/wind stabilization sliders, and text discussing vestibulocollic reflex and a two-loop biological gimbal analogy to camera gimbals.
