That is to say, could they get enough forward thrust to push themselves along, without taking off? Maybe with like a little perch to hang onto…
Someone has been playing Skatebird!
First I’ve heard of it, but now I kinda want to.
I have no doubt a bin chicken could.
A sparrow or a condor?
Let’s assume we size the board to fit the bird :)
Any but the smallest of birds should do it easily.
I reckon a Pelican would easily be able to get a skateboard rolling. I’m just now sure the best steps to proceed testing it.
I’d try a skateboard at the top of a hill and see about getting a cockatoo to somehow get the board to roll under it’s own propulsion so it can sit back and enjoy a ride down a hill. That’d be the way I’d try if I wanted the bird to do it repeatedly.
