Funny that they decided to walk around the house, probably after being exhausted trying to fly over. The video was hilarious, once I found that, in the end, they were all OK.

Strong at least from a butterfly’s perspective, I would think.

That’s why Bucky Fuller (Buckyball, geodesic dome) switched his dolphin-like teardrop Dymaxion Car form to a horseshoe crab form, much better against cross currents. The dolphin shape was superaerodynamic but was impossible to steer when the winds blew strongly sideways. (Lloyd Seidens’ book Buckminster Fullers’ Universe)

Only for a moment and the ducks are gone
All those ducks
Tumble by my eyes like fuzzy yellow leaves

Ducks in the wind!
All I see are ducks in the wind…
