I went to a falconry centre a while back and the guy had an owl that could fly perfectly well, but it’d just run around on its stumpy little legs instead. Nowhere near the smarts of the kestrel that pissed off for several hours instead of participating in the falconry show.

Let me ask you this, do you run all the time? You can do that and It's faster, but why'd you choose to walk slowly most of the time?

If human can fly, I doubt we would do that all the time as it's way more energy intensive and less durable.

I think those owls are up to something.
