a trade

This question popped into my head when I looked out my window and saw a catbird balancing on a stick, using its wings to help it balance.

Would you trade your arms and hands for wings?

As much as I love flying, I need manipulatory digits every day. To make a good trade, I would need either winghands or a bird head whose beak/tongue would make an effective manipulator (e.g. kea).

I love my human way of interacting with the world, so if I were going to experience wings in place of arms and hands, I'd want it to be temporary!
