    i dont think they can fly for long periods of time.. they are so slow and typically try to stay in one location for awhile...

    so do they move fast or somthing bc to impale the bird it had to be pretty quick right? ive shot some pretty big ones with rubberband and they get up and walk or fly away but they always move slow.
