We can glide and do, people use squirrel suits and do red bull activities for trophies and slim jims. As for the flying part, it’s just too heavy to power the complex motion of birb wings. They would have to be super big and light. Folks in science used some kind of turbo jet rocket boosters to make an iron man, maybe they can put them two ideas together in the future. I will wait and see.
