You can't fly?  I can...as long as my wings aren't fractured.  They've healed nicely since my last "accident".

That would be wonderful if we could fly. Imagine not having to have a car and not having to pay those high gas prices. That would be one healthy planet. On a serious note, we have no wings and no feathers like birds do. Birds are wild and free.

We don't have wings and we don't have hollow bones... we also have so much more blood coursing through our veins keeping us alive and our big fat organs going, than any bird does.  Think of the end of your pinky finger (last knuckle), and then look at a parrot... did you ever wonder why, when a parrot becomes angry it's pupils dialate... that is the blood coursing.  Human beings don't do that.  A parrot has very little blood ... the tip of a pinky finger worth of blood.

The quills of a birds feathers are also hollow except for the parts that are closest to the body...what is inside doesn't weigh very much at all... it is filled with air.

Pick a bird up...they are so light it is almost spooky.  Birds don't like to be picked up unless they are tame and taming a bird can be difficult.  I know this for fact.  I worked with birds for years.

A bird is meant to fly and we are meant to fall.

After working with birds for so many years, I do believe they should be free.

Gravity has me terminally stuck here…I think.??</?/? Maybe it’s something else.  Since the “graviton" particle has never been conclusively found, the glue of gravity may be electrostatic charges….I can fly! I can Fly! I CAN FLY! THANKS FOR THE QUESTION! I’M GOING TO JUMP OFF THE ROOF…YEA! THAT’LL WORK!

My mother-in-law cannot fly like a bird (she has no wings), but she rides a broomstick.

Because birds don't have the enviable luxury of enjoying all the wonderful TV reality shows that humans do. It's God's way of evenly distributing features and benefits. Aren't you glad you can't fly ?

A few hits on the crackpipe and you can fly as high as you want.

b/c we're not streamlined, we're not light enough. We don't have wings. That's why God enabled men to invent and build airplanes.

Try hangliding, probably as close as we'll get to flying, it's fantastically serene and peaceful

Just not built for it I guess. But, it does beat sitting around on a branch all winter...although an occasional trip to Florida for the winter sounds appealing!

You can, once at least. Drop some acid, take the elevator to the top of the Empire state building, bend over, kiss your a** good bye and fly like bird. (Linkletters Daughter).
