Video Description:

They say birds of a feather flock together and these birds are no exception as they take to the skies with a microlight pilot they believe to be their mother. Christian Moullec has been dubbed the 'birdman' for his extraordinary relationship with birds and as this breathtaking footage shows, the 58-year-old loves nothing more than sharing his passion with others - taking people up on his microlight and encouraging them to reach out and touch the birds mid-flight. Christian, from Cantal in France, first starting flying with birds back in 1995 in a bid to migrate them to areas where they were well protected and stop their numbers declining. Since then, he has dedicated his life to raising and training orphaned geese and helping birds on the brink of extinction.

    I had seen footage of original flight, when he lead a flock of orphaned geese back to their migration path, as an experiment and huge adventure. His ultra-light then was "decorated" to look like the geese he was leading. I didn't realize he was still doing it. Amazing how the birds will pattern with his ultra-light.
