Magpies fly to case people's properties to steal trinkets and jewels. Then flog them at carboot sales...

Sure they do, I used to see birds catching thermals and just floating around all the time when I lived in the countryside... Certainly didn't look like they were on a mission anyway

Read ‘Jonathan Livingstone Seagull’, he flies for the sheer joy and freedom of it. It’s a lovely, uplifting story that my Dad shared with me as a small child and I still treasure.

You beat me to it , Richard Bach’s tale of the joys of flight , but I’m sure for a swallow , UK to South Africa come autumn is just a plain old hard slog x

Birds don't pass urine. Birds dispose of their ammonia via the guano (as well as all other waste).

Corvids are highly intelligent. One of few species known to use tools.

"Corvids are highly intelligent. One of few species known to use tools."

They also have quite a complex legal system.

Bonus fact, they can recognise human faces.

Common Swifts have evolved to essentially live in the air, where they can eat, drink, mate, and likely even sleep from the time they depart from Scandinavia in August until they return to breed in June. Surely if they're mating mid flight, there's gotta be some fun involved in that

A lot of migrating geese in my area seem to have suicide in mind. Stupid bastards keep flying into power lines and cutting us off.

..to distract predators over their (usually)nightly roosting site.. in much the same way as schools of fish move in large shoals ... most likely an inbred movement weather predators around or not..
