Flap your wings to stay alive! You are a baby eagle pushed from the
nest to begin your journey into the wide, wide world. You
must flap your arms for all you're worth to keep yourself from
plummeting to the Earth. Do all the things eagles do! Swoop down to
snatch prey from the ground, or from
water.
Engage in aerial
combat
with coconut-bearing African swallows and territorial falcons. Or
simply explore a world-wide map that draws from Google Earth.
There are two ways to do this: simple and complex. The simple
method is, of course, as simple as flapping your arms while holding
the
nunchucks. The complex and most fun, method would involve being
suspended a few feet off the ground in a harness, wearing Wii shoes
that allow your feet to control your eagle's talons for more control
of
the bird.

I like it, but other than using a Wii system it is phundug's bird brain game. [link] |

The Wii is what it's all about, though. This idea is less about birds
and more about getting a hell of a workout. It's not meant to be
educational, it's meant to be exhilerating, and the Google Earth
draw makes it vastly more realistic and exciting than an artificial
environment could hope to achieve. You could literally land on
your own roof! |

What happens when eagles drink Red Bull? |

It gives them engines, and makes them yell 'Wiiiiiiiii!!!' |
