Sometimes your better off just staying home.

It takes 15 hours for a robin to fly from Norway to Britain.  Only 30 Scandinavian robins have been known to make the trip since 1919.  The most recent adventurous little bird was spotted by a bird-watcher in the north of England.  Unfortunately, the bird did not survive - it was spotted in her cat's mouth.

(15 hours to fly across the North Sea in the dead of winter, only to become lunch upon reaching your destination - there's a lesson in there somewhere.)
