I have been endlessly impressed by Magpie flight.  We have a balcony

with metal railings at work and the magpies 'fly' between that rails

at one end with their wings closed put in a few beats, close their

wings and 'fly' through the rails at the other end.  Apart from being

impressive it is completely unnecessary, since they could simply fly

over the rails.
