Ever wish you could fly? Me too. Ive kinda always wanted to
see how those birds live. Don’t get me wrong, I like being a human. A species
that is very dominant on our planet is perfect for me… im not so sure how id
survive as an animal fending for myself. But anyway, i have always loved
planes. I love that moment when you realize that you arnt attatched to the
ground any more in any way and gravity no longer holds you to the Earth. Its one
of my favorite experiances so im glad im so fortunate to have been on a plane
once or twice every year of my life. But… what if I didn’t have to pay money to
fly? What if I was a bird? Thatd be kinda cool. Maybe for a day or two. Im not
sure how my fear of heights would be though.
Anyway, I began thinking of those things after seeing an
article about two bald eagles on the internet. The thing is, these are still
animals with no laws who settle disputes by themselves. A pair of eagles got
into a fight in the air, locking their sharp tallons and started falling to the
ground. Ironically, this happened over an airport and they were unable too
unlock their tallons before hitting the ground. They lied there on the strip,
tangled, as people viewed them and took pictures until a man showed up to take
them for medical care. Once he arrived, he loaded them in his truck bed
(because he didn’t have containers big enough) and trew mesh and coats over
them and tied them down. During the ride, there was a rustle and then one of
the eagles flew away. The other stuck around for medical attention though.
