There is a man in France whose relationship with birds is so profound, so extraordinary, that he has been nicknamed the “Birdman.” Footage of this man went viral online, as millions were enthralled by the sight of him flying with a flock of geese.
Christian Moullec, a 58-year-old microlight pilot, always had a passion for birds. According to the Daily Mail, he first started flying alongside them in 1995, when he tried to migrate them to areas where they would be well protected, in order to stop their numbers from dwindling.
Those initial trips inspired the Birdman to go even further, and for years, he dedicated his life to raising and training orphaned geese while helping other birds whose numbers were declining.
It took him many years to finally fly alongside birds, but when he finally did, he knew he had to share the breathtaking experience with other people.
He often took passengers up with him on his microlight plane. “People are often overwhelmed with emotion,” he said to the Daily Mail. “It is hard to describe what it feels like, but I have people come from all over the world to fly with me.”
In the video below — which went viral on Facebook, with over 30 million views and counting — Christian was shown flying side by side with a flock of geese — his passengers beyond thrilled, below him.
