To be honest I think it is us people that are blessed with the best nature could give - brain - which gave us flight that is so much better than that of birds. Sure, birds have their "organic beauty" but that's only because nature sacrificed everything to give them flight, so every piece of bird seems in place, smoothed out over the millenia in that one purpose. Flight is their life. Humans on the other hand can become anything. Even in the narrow field of flying we are more versatile and better - we can lift more weight in the air, fly faster and higher, for much greater distances etc. A falcon can never hover like a hummingbird, a sparrow cannot glide like a crane, but for humans such changes in the ability to fly is just a matter of swapping equipment or chosing different machine. And the best is still ahead. With only one technological leap we will merge with machines (in fact we have to do it or we will go extinct) and then, with all sensory input coming from artificial sources, we will become those machines - in flight we will feel just like birds.
