Welcome To
Chicken Ballooning
The Unique
Catch and Release Sport That Helps Chickens Fly! (Ducks
Too!)
Chicken Ballooning is a NEW SPORT that anyone can do where you
have plenty of space for Flying Chickens! Space is needed,
since one never knows which way the wind blows,
and it's best to avoid crowds of angry fowl
fanatics!
Note: This
is a catch and release sport, and the chickens are not harmed if
you do this right. Don't worry about their pride, they're
too dumb to know you are making fun of them while you help them
fly. In the event that chickens are scarce, you can also
use ducks.
Grab A
Chicken (rotisserie chickens taste good, but are no good for
flying! Unless you are on a diet!)
Give the Chicken an suitable name (Larry
has been taken), such as "Chicken Kanivel" or "Bob".
Or consider naming them after a movie star or politician
that you wished would just float away!
Put doggy
t-shirt or harness on the chicken (watch out for those
talons! Chickens can scratch! Not to mention use fowl
language!)
Attach your
safety line - so the chicken doesn't become a Danny
Deckchair!
Attach your
helium filled balloons.
Then let
the chicken go and say the magic words: "Fly My Little Chickadee"
in a W. C. Fields accent.
Try not to
let the chicken fly higher than the length of your safety
string. Otherwise, you will be chasing your chicken
across the countryside. This can be very embarrassing
explaining to people why you are chasing a flying chicken!
Remember: Don't
Hurt Your Chicken
Don't Run Afowl Of The Law!
Our Favorite
Flying Chicken:
Ginger & Rocky The Flying Chicken!
Chicken
Run tells the humorous story of a band
of chickens who seek to escape from their coop before their
owners, the dim-witted egg farmer, Mr. Tweedy, and his greedy,
overbearing wife Mrs. Tweedy, turn them all into chicken pies,
as she is not making enough money by selling eggs. But as
we all know, Chickens can't fly! But along comes Rocky the
flying chicken, and the rest is history!
Chicken Run has all the
charm of Nick Park's Wallace & Gromit, and something for
everybody. The voice acting is fabulous, the slapstick is
brilliant, and the action sequences are spectacular.
Starring: Mel Gibson, Julia Sawalha, Miranda
Richardson, Timothy Spall, Imelda Staunton, Jane Horrocks, Phil
Daniels.
Director: Nick Park, Peter Lord
Mel Gibson as Rocky The Flying Chicken!
