It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's...Their Lovechild?: R/C Bird
This is an R/C Ornithopter. It's a radio controlled flying bird. It flaps its wings and flies and you can control it. Models start around $230 and go all the way into the $700's.

That shit will never get old. But that shit WILL tear their leg off sometimes, so be sure to stock up.
