Quite ok. However, there is no use to pay any additional cost for a creature to draw a card. In this case, you add 2 mana (see Leonin Skyhunter. This means, you have to play 2 additional lands before you play this card.
Is the card worth it? - I don't think so. You can get an Assault Zeppelid for cmc4. So I think it would have been perfectly balanced if it would have been a 2/3.

Not worth four mana. Theres better flyers and card draw out there. Case in point: Mulldrifter.

Mulldrifter eats this birdie for lunch. 2/5.

He looks pretty bad compared to mulldrifter, but we've been spoiled really. This is still good.

Works very well with a Knight of New Alara out - instead of getting a 2/2 and 1 card for 4, you get a 5/5 which is decent by anyone's standards. Having said that, on its own it leaves quite a bit to be desired - you can get superior card draw for 1 (Ponder), and a superior creature for 3 (a 3/3 with flying like Jenara), so the fact that you're combining two lesser versions into one card to save space isn't really a good enough reason to cut so much potential.

This was designed to be played with Knight of New Alara. A 5/5 flier that cantrips for 4cmc. Doesn't seem as overcosted when you play it properly.

Personally, I think this would've been fair as a common. Not underpowered, but it doesn't have the edge or any special ability that warrants an uncommon slot.

Underwhelming birds are underwhelming.

I cannot believe no-one's mentioned the multi-level flavour text reference to Aven Fisher. It's probably the best part of the card.

Fine in {U}{W} if playing control. Run *next* to mulldrifter.

Mediocre in {G}{W}.
Consider using flicker effects.
