Which reminds me. According to the certification standards, birds only fly up to 8000ft QNH. Many aircraft have speed restrictions below 8000ft based on the increased likelihood (apparently) of birdstrike. Obviously whoever made the rule didn't think it through very carefully or they would have worded the limitation to read '8000ft above surrounding terrain'.
Tell it to the birds.
