The Unusual Career of Teaching Whooping Cranes to Migrate
This image highlights a unique conservation effort where pilots dress in crane costumes and operate ultralight aircraft to guide captive-bred whooping cranes along their migration routes. This initiative was developed to help re-establish the species in the eastern United States, where they had been absent for over a century. By using the aircraft to lead the birds, conservationists teach them the necessary flight paths for survival. It serves as a fascinating example of how unconventional methods and specialized roles are sometimes required to protect endangered wildlife and restore natural migratory patterns.

Pretty sure there's a 80s or 90s movie like that... minus the bird disguise. Yeap, Fly Away Home (1996)!
There was a whole ass movie based on this about a bird that imprinted on a girl and then she had to learn to fly an ultralight to fly the bird to do the migrate thing
