Oooh are you just waiting for someone to bite on that comment - I'm holding my tongue :-)

So the female doesn't fly... only at home... with the kids, laundry, making meals, cleaning up the house... It is a men's world, baby!

Absolutely - it's the female that is wingless. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/11335644 Martin helped me work this one out.

Rachel, if I had to bet, I'd say you're right. Forgive my stupidity, but why are they called wingless? Its wings are there, aren't they?
