"The choice of birds to stop before landing is surely related to their lack of wheels and has nothing to do with a desire to look like a helicopter"
Ah there you are wrong. If they had wheels they would fall off the twig, especially as they would only have two. That would keep them up all night trying to balance!. Perhaps evolution will give them a tail rotor? and brakes? (Oh I forgot - they could have chocks)
Having sat for interminable hours up front in big planes I can never fathom out how you lot cope with the boredom. At least we wizzywinged lot know that something is going to go wrong, and often quite soon !
Did you know that butterflies oops Draonflies - were invented by Igor S but never took off....................no wheels brakes or tail rotor.................or passenger seats................
