Nice gift! Are you gonna use it to lead swarms like fly away home did with geese? I flew in a small plane once long ago...very noisy & I was amazed not to mention alarmed when I saw close up how fragile they are! I know they are safe & all but made me nervous just the same. Seeing things from that different perspecitive in the sky was amazing though & for a little while I forgot about how little metal was around me! Do you have specific places to travel to like relatives, vacation homes, friends. Do you fly every week? Most important, do you take your favorite birds with you?? J
