+    Hostile bird character for 'Run the gauntlet' game
+
+    Tim Redfern April 2012
+
+    ??how to manage visibility
+    Bird should automatically stay within viewing volume of camera
+
+    from the birds POV, The visible area is a frustrum extending down from the camera
+
+    1) like opensteer, extend the birds heading and decide whether this will hit the edge
+    2) have an actual model of the volume and work within it
+
+    3) how do we make the bird aware of players in front of it
+
+    --> this all implies being able to take a sightline from the bird and determine
+        -visibility of objects
+        -distance to obstructions
+
+    -build basic of time/speed/heading update/draw
+    -basic anim cycle
