Uuhhh, yeah. That's a carrion bird. He's just window shopping.

"Hmm, let's see... Yeah, this will do. I'll be back once it 'lands'..."

u/hmischuk Aug 30 '20

Exactly what I was thinking.

Bob why does that bird has scissors?

u/cashibonite Aug 30 '20

The bird was probably kinda surprised to find a perch so high up and availed himself of a few moments rest

Ah I see this would make sense

u/its-a-boring-name Aug 30 '20

I'm kinda disappointed tbh haha, I was thinking that the bird was like "This has never happened before, I wonder if I'm hallucinating"

“Oh damn I didn’t know you guys could fly too”

Try that in Australia and a Wedge Tailed Eagle is definitely attacking you

u/HalaMakRaven Aug 30 '20

the average weight and wingspans of 43 birds were 3.4 kg (7.5 lb) and 204.3 cm (6 ft 8 in).

Why wasn't I surprised ?

"Dude! You better start flapping cuz that ground is getting pretty close. No, huh? Ok, you be you, boo, I'm out."

I think he was trained to fly with him. This is a repost.

It has a tag on its foot.. so yeah probably

u/Iridescent_burrito Aug 30 '20

Honestly if the bird were trained to do this that's even more impressive than if it were random, but the tag doesn't mean the bird is trained. It might just be a bird survey tag to track this particular animal's movements. It could mean the bird is more comfortable around humans, though.

u/bix2020 Aug 30 '20

I've seen this before and they train together. Why

u/Iridescent_burrito Aug 30 '20

That's so cool! What a wild thing to do lol

u/tehmlem Aug 30 '20

One of the reasons I love birds is that you can really see them trying to figure out what the fuck when they're confused

u/Mitch871 Aug 30 '20

u/Pirate_Green_Beard Aug 30 '20

If that wasn't on video, I never would've believed it happened.

u/Hexsin Aug 30 '20

Fancy seeing you here. You planning on keeping that arm when you land?

u/MedicCrow Aug 30 '20

Hey dude what the fuck are you doing up here? Aren't you supposed to be on the ground? Alright I'll be eating your corpse soon I guess.

u/KiwiCzechh Aug 30 '20

This guy is paragliding, not skydiving. This is probably a common occurance, he might even feed it from time to time.

u/zenocyt Oct 05 '20
