What goes up must come down. With air resistance acting on an object that has been popped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 118 mph, for a human.
Yep…….Birds have exceptionally keen vision. In fact, their ability to see color is far superior to humans’ color vision in several ways. While humans have three color-detecting cones in their eyes — to see red, green and blue shades — birds have a fourth cone that enables them to see ultraviolet (UV) light.

Coulda been a hummingbird — more irony that way, and they are attracted to color.

Next time, try sticking a parachute inside the balloon. When it goes POP, you just float down.

Flying is, and always has been, extremely safe. Landing, on the other hand…

The gas in a balloon will expand as altitude increases. Bird or no bird, he was doomed from the git-go.
