      Alas because of gravity I think the answer has to be no! Not on earth anyway!

      I don’t think they will without some kind of aid. Sadly, we just aren’t designed to be up there.

      Probably not for a very long time, until we can genetically engineer human bodies to be more like birds (and then would these creatures really be “human”?). But maybe one day…

      I wish we could, but we would need wings and enormous muscles to flap them with. We are the wrong shape unfortunately.
