Very impressive simulation of bird flight dynamics. What I wanted to see, and was disappointed in not seeing, was the landing. If a mechanical bird could alight the way an actual flesh-and-blood bird does, it might very readily amount to something. What a great way to travel from the house to a destination less than, say, 15 miles away! "As the crow flies."

You gotta admit, this mechanism wouldn't necessarily make noise in flight . . .
