YouTube user opica1983 says he was filming in Cannes, France, when he apparently put his GoPro on the ground for some reason, and was subsequently shocked when a bird flew away with it. He then "found it on the castle wall, where I had to climb."

that's actually incredible that he recovered the camera.
next time he should catch a seagull and just tie down the camera to it lol. those shots look pretty cool

Haha, funny stuff.. :chuckle

I think what the seagull was trying to do is send a video to his relatives back here in Canada. Then, when he landed on the castle wall and tried positioning the camera to face him, he had a sudden realization, "Hey, I'm a bird and I can't even use a keyboard.. How am I suppose to send a video if I don't have fingers to type??"

Or, "Hey I don't have 2 euros to use a computer." :) :) :)

This could be a nice story telling exercise.. :thumbsup

'Deer With Wings' Causes Montana Power Outage
(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/17/deer-with-wings-montana_n_878908.html)

remember kids...birds are dinosaurs with wings...


HELENA, Mont. -- A Montana resident says an energy company has identified the cause of a brief power outage as "deer with wings." Lee Bridges says she was outside with her dogs around the time the power went out when a NorthWestern Energy truck pulled up, giving her a chance to ask the driver what caused the problem.

She says he pointed up and said, "Apparently, we've got deer with wings."

Bridges looked up and saw a dead fawn on a power line.

It's unlikely the animal had an accident while trying to make like distant-cousin Rudolph. Bridges suspects that an eagle dropped its prey and couldn't retrieve it.

The lineman who removed the carcass from the power line said he'd never seen anything like it.
