Rare Canadian oriole to fly thousands of miles back home – on passenger jet

• Bullock's oriole who ended up in Ottawa to fly home on Air Canada flight
• Small orange-plumed female first spotted in capital in late 2015

Nearly two years ago, she was spotted perched on an apple tree in Ontario - thousands of miles from her natural habitat - capturing the attention of birdwatchers across Canada.

Now a Bullock's oriole who ended up in the Ottawa area is set to finally fly home to western North America - in the passenger cabin of an Air Canada flight.
