Video caption: “This bird just discovered that golf balls bounce on concrete and he’s absolutely loving it.”
I assumed it was trying to feast on the goo inside.
TIL golf balls are filled with nutritious goo
We were gonna wait till you were older, but it’s good you know now.
I assume the bird tries to break open the “eggs” it found. I know, boring explanation for an absolute funny video.
Ayup. These birds make the same movement with snakes and other animals to break all their bones.
Not eggs, but prey. They use this movement to break its bones and kill it.
It’s a siriema if I’m not mistaken. There are a bunch of them in the country side of where I live (Brazilian Cerrado). They are absolutely fantastic animals
This is a bird called the Sereima, and what you are seeing isn’t random behavior: it’s how they hunt. They chase rodents and lizards down, grab them with their beaks, then slam their prey down onto rocks repeatedly until they stop moving.
Metal as hell.
Probably thought it was an egg
The bird:
“WHY THE HELL ARENT THESE EGGS BREAKING? WHAT MANNER OF BIRD LAID THESE ABOMINATIONS?”
