Fly high with you

I once watched the 2011 BBC documentary "A Bird's Eye View of the Earth", and I was deeply attracted by the story in it. After more than half a year of training, French meteorologist and delta wing enthusiast Christian led his brent geese to fly over Germany and Sweden. The film crew perfectly restored the migration route of this wild geese. William Lisman, a Canadian inventor and flying enthusiast in the 1980s, was also a person who piloted migratory birds in ultralight aircraft. In 1988, he flew his wild geese from Canada to the southern United States, and in the following decades, he raised many kinds of birds for long-distance migration. Based on William's feat, Columbia Pictures filmed the hit film "Fly Away Home" ("Fly Away Home"), and he participated in the filming as a screenwriter. In addition to restoring the benevolent deeds of the inventor, the story also includes plots such as the deep love of the father and daughter, raising the young geese together, the daughter growing up with the geese, bravely helping the geese fly in the blue sky, and going to the far south. The geese actors are very good at acting, and it’s not too cute to follow "Mom and Dad". Usually animal movies ignore real-life actors, but the performances of several actors in this film are sincere and touching, and the little girl is especially good. The moment she saw the baby geese that she was struggling to guard soaring into the sky, it was so healed and moved to the point of liver tremor. The end caption states that the next year all 16 geese returned as scheduled and returned to the balcony. The protagonist prototype continues to be updated on the social platform In The Field With Operation Migration http://operationmigration.org/InTheField/ .

    DNR Officer: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, uh, called imprinting. The first living thing a goose sees when it's born, it automatically assume is its mother.

    Thomas Alden: Huh.

    DNR Officer: They'll follow her anywhere.
