Beautiful Kestrel Hovers in Hunting Mode || ViralHog

BRO IS LAGGING, THIS PROVES LIFE IS A GAME

Nature is incredibly mighty ... while still somewhat young, then it all goes south doesn't it... 🍆

It's amazing how still its beak stays.

it doesn't move a pixel.

Those birds are like a glitch in the Matrix.
Mindboggling that they can achieve that degree of perfection matching the wind speed and keeping their head in precisely the same spot.

The number of calculations going on in that bird's brain to monitor and adjust their wings to the wind must be vast, and the speed of adjustments must happen lightning fast. The derogatory phrase 'bird brain' is demonstrably false.

ITS A BUG!, TAG DEVELOPER TO FIX THIS!

Does anybody know why a hawk would drop it down to your level and levitate hovering about twenty yards right in front of you staring at you? I had this very strange experience yesterday well walking on the train tracks . I'm very curious because I'm obviously way too big for a hawk to eat he flew down low almost to eye level with me and seemed to be levitating while flapping his wings in the same place while staring at me for about 15 seconds. If anyone can explain while hawkwood do that I would love to hear it

Better stabilization than those of hens

Windfucker

Amazing how the head doesn’t move. I love nature 😍

Wow what a bird🎉

This is one of the absolute best videos of Kestrels hovering. It's amazing, their ability to hover, and to keep so perfectly still in position while flying.

some people will say its a glitch in the matrix..😅

Look at the way his body shakes but his head is just sturdy

Birds are Not Real!

Why this sounds unrealistic yet its real.

Dts a glitch in real life

God is an amazing artist!

His body pond

What a magnificently engineered bird

That bird is glitched

This need is in zen mode right now.🧎

Bro that isn’t a real video 😭😭😭 it’s an animated bird bro

It's called optokinetic head movements, or head stabilization and all birds have this ability. 😊 It allows them to maintain their head position to avoid disrupting their vision while they flap their wings to fly. So cool, right? They also use it on the ground and that's why some birds (think about pigeons and chickens you've seen walking) have a funny head-bob when they walk. It's because they are keeping their head stable between steps.

I grew up with chickens (well, we had them on the farm, they weren't like my siblings or anything, lol) and we always had fun with one sitting on our arm, we'd move our arm up and down and the chicken's body moved with it, but their head would stay in one spot. You might also be able to see it when a bird is sitting on a branch or a wire and what they are sitting on moves in the breeze but their head remains still.

It's a super cool skill. Birds who are especially good at it are hummingbirds and birds that typically hunt in water, such as Kestrels and Kingfishers. Owls are extremely good at it.

Cats and a few other animals also have this skill. Humans have a similar ability, but instead of holding our head in place we can hold our eyes on a fixed point while we walk/run, jump, dive, etc.

I hope I didn't bore you to tears. It's one of those things I was always curious about as a kid (those silly chickens!) and after I learned what it was I find it even more fascinating. I was actually just looking for a video to show a demonstration of how it looks to a friend! 🙂🐦

Bro was lagging

THATS impressive how the beak was perfectly still while the rest of the body moved to keep it in place. Just, wow.

I'm a student pilot. Today my instructor and I witnessed this for the very first time from a pair of kestrels while we were waiting to take off. Surreal. And concerning, because they were hovering where airplanes were descending to land. I won't soon forget it

Beautiful looking birds makes flying look easy elegent

Chicken head can do this

That is amazing! It's like his head is glued in place!

tom and jerry say it's true

Yet another cover-up for glitches in the Matrix :)

The tripod shakes more than the Kestrel's head.

That's amazing!! Is it flying or just hovering?
Birds are so cool 😎 🐦

Amazing design, imagine the engineer(s). Oh my God!

How OIS were developed

It is completely WOW!

subhan Allah

Imagine the strength that bird is using to balance itself in such strong winds. I watched two American Kestrels doing this today in 20+ mph winds and it was awesome to see them perform that feat!

this is magic, thank you!!

This reminds me of the balancing bird toy I got when I was a kid

That’s amazing

I could do with his gyro in my RC Helicopter,,,

Amazing bird and v cool video. See them often hovering often but new respect after this.

Plus, see below for 95% dumbass comments.

Just another glitch

Damn I never seen a bird do that damn

incredible
