Darrens response:

Andrew referring to birds and flying near or over or around water. I have 
seen NO fear in Marco or Polo ... they both fly over it, around it etc. 
They do not LAND near it .. so .. maybe they are not interested IN the water 
... but don't seem to be afraid at all much of it either.

Just info ..

Thanks Darren.
