I see two in this trike.

Russia’s president piloted a motorized hang glider over an Arctic
wilderness while leading six endangered Siberian cranes toward their winter
habitat, as part of an operation called “The Flight of Hope,” his press office
confirmed Wednesday.

While Mr. Putin recently has found some resistance to his stewardship at home,
he found a more receptive crowd among his feathered followers. Experts say that
when raised in captivity, these cranes quickly form bonds with figures they
perceive as parents. That is a role, apparently, that Mr. Putin has been
training for.

“For cranes, the parent is a man in a white robe,” Yuri Markin, the director of
the game preserve that reared the chicks, told Russian News Service, a radio
network. “They don’t remember a particular person. They remember the white robe
and hood, or on the ultralight, a white helmet — and a special beak that is worn
on the head.”
