Who is a Big Bully Bird?


Who is a Big Bully Bird?
It is not American Bald Eagle.
It is the Air bus which belligerently bellow down on Mattala sucking tiny birds as its prey to its four engines numbering up to 1000 (not hundreds) in a single test flight (not so soft landing due to throttling of the its engine blades).
Pilots relay and  play the Karaniya Metta Sutta on their behalf (not for the  birds of feather) knowing very well the risk involved.
If one loves birds please do not fly on this aircraft even though one is enticed with good           Sri-Lankan cuisine.
In fact , they have made charcoal out of birds’ carcases, not broiler in this serene land of birds.
This airport and the flights will boomerang on our economy and environment
The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner; many airports have had to upgrade their facilities to properly accommodate it because of its size.
Initially named Airbus A3XX, the aircraft was designed to challenge Boeing's monopoly in the large-aircraft market; the A380 made its first flight on 27 April 2005 and began commercial service in October 2007 with Singapore Airlines.
It is good to land only on Changi Airport in Singapore where there are only few pigeons
