The plane is taking off else the blind would be down. If it is taking off no way a bird could catch up to it. If the bird was flying the legs would be tucked up.

Apparently it's because the hostesses need to be able to keep an eye on engines etc so they can act immediately if there is a problem.

I found this

Lifting the shades on the windows during take-off and landing might seem like a trivial ask to many aeroplane passengers. Some travellers believe that this to prepare them for the jolty landing moment when the wheels hit the concrete below.

But experts have now revealed the reasons why it is much more important to passenger safety than you would think.

Aviation Safety Officer, Saran Udayakumar told Quora users that in cases of emergency the cabin crew only have 90 seconds to evacuate the aeroplane. In order to make this possible the crew prepare the passengers and the aircraft so if anything does go wrong they can evacuate quickly. This also means emergency personnel outside can see into the cabin to assess the situation

If you have ever been on a plane, the plane takes off at high speed. Only taxiing speeds can birds be able to keep up with a plane. This bird does not show any surprise or fear at nearly being cut in two by the plane's wing, or being able to crane its neck around to be photographed. A photographer has to be right on the money to have gotten a shot of a taxiing plane with a seagull looking inside.

No schitt that it is photoshopped.

How do you know the bird wasn't flying towards the window and they bird and aircraft just happened to intersect when the photo was taken?
