I don't even think the bird is enjoying it ..

There is no way. Driving a car and just sitting on the passenfer side is not the same at all. Now imagine having no control and not even understanding what a car is

Imagine you enjoyed running before losing the ability to do it and then someone strapped you to the bonnet of a car to make you feel better.

Alternative perspective. Imagine enjoying running, losing your ability to walk, then being strapped to a rollercoaster. That sounds a little more fun.

Could build a head tracker to control the drone with small movements of the bird’s head. I bet the bird would learn how to fly it and enjoy the experience!
