Flying Cows Spotted in Switzerland



In Switzerland, cows spend their summers grazing in the high meadows, then descend to the valleys at the end of the season. However, there  are always a few cows who become injured or suffer a strain, so dairy farmers call in the helicopters. This year, ten cows needed a lift part of the way down the mountain. They didn't seem to mind the flight at all. A word to the wise: if you ever see a flying cow, helicopter or not, don't stand directly below it. (via Fark)

Alien abduction practice!

I spent 2-3 weeks in Switzerland in each of 3 different years, and the sound of the cowbells is one of my favorites I ever recorded. We stayed in Wengen next to a pasture with about 25 cows and calves, and it was delightful. Thanks for the reminder!

The sound of a cowbell high in the sky would be quite the wonder.

If I was a cow I'd pretend to be injured just to get the free helicopter ride.
