They laughed at him when he rejected the acting job for Winged Migration. He did not laugh when they were shot off the sky, one by one, just so the director could get a good picture.
Now, with all his friends gone he could finally test his wingless flight technique. No stupid flapping, no sounds, none of that cute bird-like stuff.
Pure will power, determination, focus.
This would bring him down south easily.
To make things even better for himself and his new friends, he decided to bring along this perfect little nest box he found on a street corner. It was already filled with a pretty advanced library of amateur writing and a gallery full of nice works on paper.
There was also this pretty cool eagle sticker on the side. Certainly to keep of the squirrels and other wet-nosed folks with furry paws.

haha--this one has me laughing out loud.
what a great surprise to read and then scroll
down to see the image!
oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh so much to catch up on, wow wow wow. i love this one!
dear sir,
i found your web page (your page came up fourth on searches of "wingless flight technique") and i have just a few questions.
please reply at your earliest convenience.thank you,
eliza
ps
i forgot to ask, but do your techniques work for emus as well?
thank you again for your time,
eliza
Dear Eliza,
My book on wingless flight technique was available on audio tape in some well stocked aviation shops. We were not able to release a new edition due to some recent security concerns.
It appears that you and your brothers and sisters would be interested in a one time "presentation". I currently offer late night classes/presentations only, as we all have day-jobs and because we probably all would like to avoid media involvement.
As for your question about Emus... there is an old bird-saying, "Give an Emu an airlift and it will fly for a day, teach it how to fly and it will fly forever."
Please let me know when would be the best time for me to hover by your location...
yours truly
bird
airmail.
