And Its Goodnight From Me - If Birds Didn't Use Their Wings...

A line from a TV advertisement and no I can't remember what the ad was for, that one line grabbed my imagination. Not a good result for the ad makers I guess.

The idea of all the birds walking instead of flying, would there be any room left for the human kind? Probably tidier as can't see Sally sparrow dropping litter too often. The eagle would lose its elegance of soaring to the greatest heights that makes it king of the birds. Would man have ever been inspired to create the machines of flight we all take for granted?

No aeroplanes, no cheap flights to the sun. Is that such a bad thing? The tree hugger in me doesn't think so. The only loss would be to mankind's enormous damaging carbon footprints. Maybe we would learn to love and appreciate the local world around us instead of searching for the exotic excitement.
