At first the bird felt, not light, but not heavy. The vendor instructed to move my arm up and down, forcing the bird to spread its wings. I then felt the weight of the bird and of its talons tightening its grip on the glove that I had on!! It didn't take but a few up and down waves of my arm before I started to feel the strain of carrying this bird. But pain or no pain, all I wanted to do was focus on was the face of this magnificent bird!
