Seagulls - I believe they are the only bird that flies for fun. They do crazy things just because they can. Developing the skill to hit targets crossing at right angles? I believe it. I watched one dive in a powerful updraft off the building I was working in (Pacific winter storm) for hours. Every break I got, he'd be in that same vertical dive, being thrown all over the place by the turbulence.

You’re forgetting the ravens. They like to play leapfrog with bicyclists, and they do all kinds of weird tricks while flying, especially in a good wind. 🙂
