Failed to create agent because it is not close enough to the NavMesh

"SetDestination" can only be called on an active agent that has been placed on a NavMesh. UnityEngine.AI.NavMeshAgent:SetDestination(Vector3) BirdMovement:Update() (at Assets/Scripts/BirdMovement.cs:23)

I followed the directions but the NavMesh Agent has an Agent Type where you change the size settings. I have baked the NavMesh and tried removing and then adding the bird again. Still get this error.

I deleted and reset the Agent Type settings and used the size settings on the new default humanoid Agent Type. Bake the NavMesh again and that seemed to fix the error. This seems like it is a bug in the editor.
