Noob here - Can you have 2 animations playing at the same time ?

hey guys, am kinda new to unity and i have stumbled into what seems like a rather simple problem.

Am making a 360 vr video experience thing and its going really well but i cant seem to figure out how to animate a rig with an animation playing at the same time.

i have this flying bird right, it has an animation and plays just fine.
What i want to do is have that bird fly on a set path, which am doing with the in engine animator, so you can see him as you go through the level, and that works just fine but i can figure out how to have the bird play the fly animation i made in blender, on its own it works but obviously remains static. and if i have him move around the anim wont play.

so is there a way to have 2 animations play at the same time or some other way to have the bird move ??

I would really appreciate some help, since i have looked around and cant seem to find anything on the subject.
Thanks !!

 

Two animations can't move the same bone at the same time.

What you can do is to give the bird a parent, and animate the parent's position to "fly along the path", while letting the bird do the flapping.
