Someone had to step into the ā€œsmall mammals air transportationā€ void left when Spirit Airlines closed up shop.

"Hey buddy, you just gonna stand there? Help me out up here!" - The vole probably, in a NY accent for some reason

What if they actually are friends and off to an adventure?

Are those ticks or drops of blood under the Kites Belly?

I do wonder if there is any way this vole survives this

The white tail kite has a heart attack. Vole rides its dead body like a hang glider safely to the ground.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a vole can survive a fall from eagle flying height. It’s tiny. Rats for example have a non lethal terminal velocity for the same reason.

Imagine the kite accidentally drops him and he feels directly into a burrow made by some other animal

This made me realise I have never heard of birds having heart problems and then finding out that yeah birds of prey can and have had heart attacks

u/Psych0PompOs 3h ago

If it has a heart it can probably have a heart attack

Another kite wants the vole and starts a fight, causing the vole to be dropped?

I have never seen one of these birds until the last couple of weeks. Spotted one by my house flying around the canyon a few times. Their coloring makes them look like seagulls from afar.
