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 would love to be able to fly, I don't think I could permanently trade in my hands for it. I need my fingers! They're so useful! How would I make hot buttered toast without them?

The ideal I think would be a shuba-type arrangement, like Greensky, where you have a garment that enables you to float but also you still have your hands.

Shubas are the best! I tried to make one as a kid. Never mind that our gravity is heavier than Greensky's and....

Yeah, I like my hands. I am a human!
