Fred Hi! and Thanks for that!
In the West of England here they have reintroduced the 'Bustard'.... I did
spell it right!
It's a bird that can weigh up to 50 lbs....... and FLIES! It's alleged.
Armour plating may be a safer option in this case!
I see no reason why it shouldn't sport an anti-collision light or strobe!
