      Not unless you strap a jet-pack to them! Definitely cannot recommend that as a welfare scientist though!

      haha, no, they cannot. Have you ever seen a pig fly?

      I doubt it! Especially as according to the laws of Physics bumblebee’s shouldn’t be able to fly! I for one would be ducking if pigs did start to fly though!

      yes in an aeroplane but not on their own – they don’t have wings or anything that would allow them to glide, let alone fly.

      Ah unfortunately no, unless you transport them in an aircraft I reckon.

      I think this saying ‘pigs fly’ is used to refer to things that are just unbelieveable and would not happen.
