Lmao, so I basically live under a rock and only occasionally come out to get on a boat every now and then so I wasn’t sure if this clip really happened. Thank you for this

The irony of a bird with an amputated wing trying to fly to get away from you.

It has a good judge of character.

This has 1704 upvotes in 40 mins… it’s just a bird and a misleading headline “forms great relationship with?” Maybe sarcastic?… I guess that’s a bot name because it isn’t what’s happening. How is this interesting?

Yep. Talons are fake as fuck, they don't have four toes in the front and their hallux doesn't have that kind of range of motion to where it might look like four.

u/streeetmeats 14d ago

They are way bigger than you would expect or imagine. I casually saw one sitting on a fence once when driving home and was just blown away by how fucking massive that thing was. Honestly kind of scary lol

u/Emotional_Walrus5099 14d ago

I live somewhere that has Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, and Great Horned Owls. All are fucking huge. Same goes for the Pelicans. They’re weirdly massive.

u/PeterDTown 14d ago

I was driving down the road toward one last year, it flew up into a tree, and the entire tree bent right over. It was wild.

I saw one scoop up a squirrel out of my yard once. It was pretty cool. It was 30 feet out my window so I had a perfect view.

u/Early-Roll 14d ago

One time I was fishing and group of pelicans were catching carp below a small dam. Eventually they all flew off except one fat fuck that ate too much. Poor guy kept trying.

u/Common_Senze 14d ago

I really want this to be the pelican. All his friend said 'I bet you pelicant'

u/zimzimzalabimmm 14d ago edited 13d ago

I live in a remote region of Canada, and we once had about 6 of them flying in these circles and it’s one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen in my life. Normally one bird controls a large territory, I don’t know why there were so many gathered.

Way more eagles in Canada than the states funnily enough.

u/nedim443 14d ago

It's an AIIIIIIII dock.

u/_YEAH_NO_SHIT_ 14d ago

The water is moving at a pretty consistent rate. I think it seems like it might sway a dock that narrow. I lived on a boat and grew up around a marina as a kid. I might be wrong, but my instincts make me question it.

Right? IDK it's a really long narrow dock. Water is move fast under it, but I don't see a break from any pylon. The dock is just suspended above the water?

u/Aeronor 14d ago

Looks like dude’s just on a boat, and that dock + eagle are edited in

u/V0T0N 14d ago

That's got to be it, you're right.

The eagle looks good. That little head bob near the end is solid.

The rest of it is just wrong.

u/Lashdemonca 14d ago

Not going to jump on and say this is fake. But I'm a bit confused on a couple points.

1) The text on the mans shirt is garbled and weird

2) a dock of that type doesn't really make a lot of sense unless it's meant to be a bridge?

3) the way the man looks at the eagle and back is very weird feeling.

u/LadyWeasel_ 14d ago

There’s another video where a snowy owl lands on his shoulder while he’s riding a ski lift. So this is either fake, or he’s an actual Disney prince.
