What would you do if a bird picked you up?

[caketastydelish]

Would the bird be a Seahawk by any chance?

 

[Zkribbler]

I hadn't heard of that.

Apparently, only 5 birds could pick up a human child, but only the African crown eagle has.
None have picked up a mature human.

What if 12 combined their forces?

The twelfth is a man so does not contribute any lift.

 

[Takhisis]

I'd rather not have birds gripping me by the husk.

[hobbsyoyo]

Pray that I'm fat enough for the bird to drop me right quick.

Very interesting responses! Oh I see many fear you're going to be eaten or killed ... what if this bird looks like say a giant sparrow or cardinal or something, and she speaks and assures you she means you no harm, but will just be taking you on a friendly flight?

Assume it's a trap, enjoy my Kentucky Fried Giant Sparrow.

Still hasn't got it. I give up.

Using a strand of tree-bark nestled under the dorsal guidance feathers?

A sparrow or cardinal would not possess talons required to grab and lift me.
And if fables have taught me anything at all, I know they can't hold me in beak and talk without dropping me.

It would if it was big enough. Of course if it was big enough it would also be able to eat you.

So, going with the new premise that it is a big and convincingly friendly talking bird...being me, I would start negotiating. I need to convince it that I am a wonderful person, quite likely the only one it should really trust.

What about an African sparrow?

 

[Synobun]

I would try to sell the bird a Shamwow.

Then i would assume that i am lucid dreaming and tell the bird to let go cuz i can fly on my own

I don't like it when people who aren't my friends call me ‘friend’.

 

[sophie]

friendly != friend

 

[HoloDoc]

friendly != friend

Yeah, I'm friendly with people for my job all the time, but would gladly glass them in the eye if I ever got stuck in a room with them.

I do get his point though; anyone who calls me "buddy" or something similar that I don't know instantly creeps me out.

 

[Hrothbern]

When it's a bit of pushing in a pub the difference between a friend and calling someone "friend" is quite big.
