Birdland has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

Hey, I think we're on to something here. Balrogs may have been like albatrosses, which need a cliff face or a long slope in order to launch themselves into flight.

Now, if the Balrog had been more on the order of a hummingbird, then, when Gandalf broke the bridge, he would have just hovered in midair.

But then, if the Balrog HAD been like a hummingbird, then Gandalf probably would not have bothered to break the bridge in the first place.
