2018 - Year of the Bird
2018 marks the centennial of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the most powerful and important bird-protection law ever passed. In honor of this milestone, nature lovers around the world are joining forces to celebrate the "Year of the Bird"” and commit to protecting birds today and for the next hundred years.
Stunning Video Shows a Man Flying With Birds
What started as a conservation effort in the 1990s now puts tourists into the air, soaring alongside geese and cranes.
When Christian Moullec saw that lesser white-fronted geese were struggling with their migration from Germany to Sweden in 1995, he took to the skies to help them. Today, weather permitting, he soars with birds on an almost daily basis.
A meteorologist by trade, the 58-year-old Frenchman didn't start out as a pilot. But inspired by an Austrian zoologist known as "the man who walked with geese," Moullec adapted a two-seater ultralight aircraft to fly alongside the vulnerable species to guide them on a safer migration route. Now, from March through October, he takes tourists up to fly with birds.
Some of his visitors travel more than 15 hours by plane for a 35-minute ride with Moullec and his avian companions, often spotting cranes and geese like the brent, barnacle, red-breasted, and greylag species. The passengers take in aerial views of castles, deserts, bridges, cities, and mountains, sometimes flying as far as Edinburgh, Scotland and Venice, Italy.

Very useful article, I appreciate your article, Thanks
I just loved the Christian Moullec interaction with birds. This reminded me of my tour to Paris where I interacted with many birds in an indoor place. It was an exciting experience of my life. Also, this was my first ever tour to Paris and I have bought many things at that time to make sure I won't miss anything. The suitcase I bought online using https://www.voucheristic.co.uk/luggage-superstore-voucher-codes.html">luggage superstore discount codes was of very quality. I strongly with the decision of "protecting birds today and for the next hundred years". I am on it an will guide others too.
Whether it is a friendship between a man and a bird or a treatment as a member of a herd ? Perhaps the second one...
