You don’t see them bragging about it.
Perhaps a better press agent would help?
That said, most of the news is based on twitter trends...
Your albatross friends may be better off saving their money.
Yeah. They are cool. And we love their humility. They only want what others no longer need.
They’ll go up to 40k feet - I think they hold their breath.
I was going to mention turkey vultures (that’s what we call them in California), too. As you say, you rarely see them flap their wings.
None of my plane flights at 37,000 feet were coasting. The pilot kept the engines on the whole time. It would probably be a lot quieter and more peaceful if we were coasting, though. At least for a while.
We call them both. Buzzards or vultures. :)
“How do you suppose they carry all the oxygen tanks?”
When you eat what they eat you learn to hold your breath for a long time.
Right? Don’t make the camera a drone that could actually fly back down somewhere easy to pick it up, let the bird drop it in a cliff face so you and your crew can get a nice government paid climbing experience... all so we can learn that these birds don’t flap their wings and they fly in circles.
Sounds about right to me!
