0010019: Gander stuck in mid-air
Shortly after embark I found one of my livestock in mid-air, 2 tiles (x, y or z) from non-open space. It does not fall. Probably it was in a tree when it was cut down. It remained in mid-air motionless for several months before I gave up and used DFHack to teleport it down. It can be seen in the images below.

A gander is a male goose, which is capable of flying. It presumably would have returned to the ground at some point.

I didn't know that they could fly (in DF).

I viewed this bird basically every few days for over three months and it never moved, not one tile up, down or sideways. So I still think that there is an issue here.

The images posted are from about 2 months apart - you will have to trust me that it did not move and come back.

If it helps at all I have saves (over at least a couple of months) where this is happening. What I do not have is a save showing what caused it to become stuck in the first place.
