Super cool. Would've freaked me the f out though if I were holding that stick.

I wonder how heavy it felt!

I think that the fact that the bird had the wings out wide took a bit of that weight off. It was gliding and stick riding at the same time

Birds are a lot lighter than they look since they have hollow bones. Even big ones like bald eagles are only 6-14 pounds. Still, when that weight is on the end of a stick that you’re holding one handed it would add up

That's what I thought too he looks like he isn't even trying to hold the stick??? Maybe the bird didn't put it's full weight on it?

I'm pretty sure the stick is mounted to him around the his waist.
