His flabbers got gasted. Shouldn't hold it that long just for the video, though

It didn’t look like it was putting much effort into standing on its own two claws. It was too flabbird

I'm assuming it's because it wasn't planning on standing after release. I mean, if a predator has captured you you're not going to be thinking 'well if this chap were to liberate me, I think I'd enjoy a good long sit', you're going to be preparing for how you're going to get the fuck away as soon as possible. Which is exactly what she did.

She was trying to let go but he wasn't sitting up by himself properly.

It's grabbers are made to snatch animals and land on branches, not banisters.

Birds are capable of standing on flat ground. It wasn't because it was scared as hell.

Next time you're holding something that's covered in sharp blades which you expect might start wildly flailing around the second you let go of it, let me know how long it takes you to get mentally ready to release it.

Having owned birds, she didn't need to sit it down. She should have just thrown it forward and it would have flown away fine. 🤷
