I saw these three in the 3pm Animal show today with Peter and they were absolutely amazing. I did not know that Radar made such an array of noises, it was a fascinating discovery.

This video very nicely illustrates how smoothly all three of them can take flight, which wasn't possible to see in the show. Thank you for this amazing footage.
