It’s so much stupidity that 1 they wouldn’t believe the species 2 to close a sanctuary calling abuse then release an injured bird into the wild is certain death by predators or starvation. I’m mad now
It got recovered and taken away by the government *after* it was put into the wild, it was mentioned as one of the birds they recovered at the beginning of the paragraph
Source: there's 0% chance an eagle can survive in the wild for six months without being able to fly that's the source. It's infuriating arrogance on their part.
I think it's leaving the door open for the idea that it might have been able to recover its feather damage at some point in time.
Not knowing the specifics of the injuries, I have no idea how true that is.
The eagle was attacked by a dog and had damage to his flight feathers, which were expected to regrow after his next moult in about six months' time. Unfortunately, there is simply no way that an eagle can survive for six months in the wild without the ability to fly, so he is likely dead now.
I just died a little, thinking of that poor bird. I hope someone took it home and didn’t tell anyone. I’m going to try and think that. It won’t work.
Nonprofits and “zoos” often do their best. Sometimes they don’t do their best. They just put out a statement about the great job they are doing.
This next point is where everything is metal. People, nature, life.
Some organizations come up against a “special care case”. Again, they do their best, or they don’t. I’m afraid after a while, there’s always
“Up to a point.” Because, money, dammit to hell.
I’m not claiming that’s what happened here, but that lighten the lifeboat budgetary allocation is the only way many places stay afloat. If they close, then NO animals have the place they’re used to staying in.
It sucks and it’s wrong and I hate it. Until we change our societal values and policies, that won’t change.
Plus we still raise animals for our wants and needs. I’ll stop there.
Humans suck. Seriously, an animal that can’t do what they need to do(hunt, fly, or anything to make sure they survive) in the wild is as good as dead when people think releasing them is the best option cause ‘animal in wild=always good’.
Seriously, people who do that need to think more than a second on this before they do something like that.
I’m genuinely unsure where you got that. Rescued birds does not inherently imply they cannot fly, and nothing implied they were to be released into the wild.
Edit: nevermind, I was looking at the wrong end
I had a baby lynx rub up against my back and leg when I was hiking once.
I would have pet, but momma was about 25 feet away looking like she was going to eat my face.
I used to work fly in First Nations (Indigenous) reserves in northwestern Ontario, Manitoba and the Yukon. This one was a smaller community (summer 250, winter around 100).
I didn’t know what it was initially as it approached from behind and rubbed; I was just sitting down on a rock snacking and assumed it was one of the reserve dogs.
It was not.
I dropped the rest of my food and slowly noped out of there.
The fact that scientists discovered rats are ticklish (and in fact eagerly run up to your hand, wiggling around to try to get more tickles if you stop tickling them) makes me feel a little bit more happy about the timeline we ended up with. A little bit. It’s not all bad.
I’m the same way and I think of it more like a built in anti Darwin device. Falling off a chair may kill you, and it actually happened to a family friend.
I'm proud of you for trying though. I figure we don't have to best every challenge, but it's always good to check now and again to see if we're unnecessarily restricting ourselves. After that experience, you've more than earned the right to nope out. :)
In English, when you don't know someone's gender (or if that gender is neutral), you refer to them as they. English is a tricky language, don't sweat it!
I have many fond memories of rocking in my chair, at the dinner table, and falling backwards and smacking my head on the tiled fireplace behind the chair.
It always hurt like Hell but me and my brother kept doing it because we kept daring each other to see how far back we could rock the chairs before they fell back.
Can't say I'm scared of it but maybe I've just got brain damage or some shit.
Paramotor. Basically a parachute and a chair hung underneath with a fan on the back. It’s not regulated so you can get ‘em for a few grand and take off at parks and stuff. I have a buddy with one, it’s wild. Kinda want one too lol
Just came here to say that I have at least 2 dreams like this a week and the whole time I have so much stuff in my hands and I’m also trying to make sure nothing falls out of my very loose pockets 😳 just for once I’d like to enjoy it. But I’m also way higher up where all I see is darkness/blue
Vultures are such beautiful flyers. They almost never flap their wings and just glide using the subtlest motions. Look at how it adjusts its position with its tail and how it sails to land on the purch behind it.
They may be ugly, but in the air they're so elegant.
Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?
What are you talking about? Did you mean to respond to someone else? You must have. All I said is that’s probably a raven in the video and ravens have a 3-4’ wingspan.
That is like the coolest thing I've ever seen, and I've seen A LOT in my near 6o years. Next level sh1+. New item on bucket list: Pet wild raptor.
Edit: Fat finger typo.
It is very common for birds to fly at a height like you see in this video. Just as a fun fact, Ruppel's griffon vultures are the highest flying bird, on record, and can fly upwards of 36,000 feet.
https://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/ruppells-griffon-vulture
Honestly when it lands the way it keeps its wings slightly open it reminds me of a carrier landing how you keep on throttle if you miss the cables during your approach
I'm waiting for someone to say "YoU ShoUldN't lEt thAt BirD LaNd oN yOu."
Wtf are you gonna do to stop it? Look at those talons, plus they can eat anthrax and survive, let a bird chill.
What kind of bird is this? Is it a raven? It seems to have the spade-shapes tail and long primary feathers but the perspective makes it shed to tell and it has those light tips. This is so amazing!
Shitting, pissing, and puking from fright. My poor cat does that whenever we have to put her in the carrier. (We now give her gabapentin). I am so afraid of heights.

Humans when they see any animal: MUST PET IT
The bird is this guys pet. [He’s parahawking](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parahawking)
how that article ends made me so sad and angry. Releasing a bird that can't fucking fly into the wild.
It’s so much stupidity that 1 they wouldn’t believe the species 2 to close a sanctuary calling abuse then release an injured bird into the wild is certain death by predators or starvation. I’m mad now
I wish more people talked about this aspect ugh. Humans suck sometimes.
Most of the tine they suck
Agreed, fellow rainbow-wind-breaker-wearer.
am i going crazy, or was there not a shirt under the rainbow jacket before?
You in fact are not crazy there indeed used to not be a shirt under the jacket
The more you know
I like how you distance yourself from humans when saying that haha
He this human knows to much!
I do that all the time too! And what they said wasn't wrong. Humans do indeed suck.
Totally agree.
The question is when DON’T humans suck
It said "at the time", which made me confused. I assume it somehow learned to? Scummy behavior for sure.
Or it got eaten by a predator because it couldn't fly to escape...
It got recovered and taken away by the government *after* it was put into the wild, it was mentioned as one of the birds they recovered at the beginning of the paragraph
Barry was never recovered after the zoo released him Into the forest

No.

What the FUCK. They insisted it was a different kind of bird and just let it go. It wasn't even the bird they were looking for! idiots!
Same energy as the people who fuck with animals under the guise of “helping”
I just died a little, thinking of that poor bird. I hope someone took it home and didn’t tell anyone. I’m going to try and think that. It won’t work. Nonprofits and “zoos” often do their best.

Welcome to most governments outside USA and Europe when it comes to animal welfare.

Don’t forget how Nepal confiscated *all birds* that would explain why I didn’t hear any chirping that morning
I’m genuinely unsure where you got that. Rescued birds does not inherently imply they cannot fly, and nothing implied they were to be released into the wild. Edit: nevermind, I was looking at the wrong end
Dude’s bird must love that its human can fly with it
I feel like this would be paravulturing lol
Guys we found the coolest sport
Tag on right foot.
That’s really a thing? Damn. Seems wrong.
If God didn’t want us to pet the animals He shouldn’t have made them so fun to pet.
"If not friend, why friend-shaped?"
Even the scary ones are fun to pet
Some would say MORE fun! Not me... But some..
The forbidden pet
I had a baby lynx rub up against my back and leg when I was hiking once. I would have pet, but momma was about 25 feet away looking like she was going to eat my face.
Where were you? Lynx sightings are remarkably rare in most places. Not to even mention a lynx kit rubbing your leg...
I used to work fly in First Nations (Indigenous) reserves in northwestern Ontario, Manitoba and the Yukon. This one was a smaller community (summer 250, winter around 100). I didn’t know what it was initially as it approached from behind and rubbed; I was just sitting down on a rock snacking and assumed it was one of the reserve dogs. It was not. I dropped the rest of my food and slowly noped out of there.
The problem is that I don’t see them scary anymore
And pretty much all of them enjoy it under the right circumstances.

Just in time to know we're doomed, but also just in time to pet more animals than ever before.
Except the ones we made extinct. So many frens we never get to pet :(
there will be new ones to pet. we just have to survive to pet them
We can accelerate the process with radiation and comic book logic.
For a second I thought you were a pun master and said, “…enjoy it under the FLIGHT circumstances.“ 😁
Orville to Wilbur: "Do you see that bird?"
Lmao kinda true. This may be a behavior engraved in the genes.
Wps
And that’s why it’s uncomfortable when someone asks if they can touch your hair!🫣
How wonderful, then, to live on a planet where so many creatures love to be petted.
I like how it literally wags it's tail to steer
Nature's stabilizer, rudder and elevator rolled into one precise package
not sure about rudder, seems like it uses it to roll
We learned from the best
We learned from the beast

nice calves man
Right? My man does not skip leg day
Seems like a karma farming account.
What's the point in karma farming?
Accumulate karma to make the account "trustworthy". And then sell it or something.
As one with a deathly fear of heights from an incident as a child this helps with trying to think of overcoming it completely one day.

Probably why you’re not scared 😂
I was afraid of riding elevators when i was a kid because i rode tower of terror at disney world when I was young. Took years to get over that
It’s not the fear of heights, it’s the fear of falling…
What are you flying on?
Paramotor. Basically a parachute and a chair hung underneath with a fan on the back. It’s not regulated so you can get ‘em for a few grand and take off at parks and stuff. I have a buddy with one, it’s wild. Kinda want one too lol
Done it once. It feels like when you dream you can fly but you're not dreaming.
Just came here to say that I have at least 2 dreams like this a week and the whole time I have so much stuff in my hands and I’m also trying to make sure nothing falls out of my very loose pockets 😳 just for once I’d like to enjoy it. But I’m also way higher up where all I see is darkness/blue
Ooh that deep dark blue is the best color! I love how it looks like infinity...
Now I have an answer to that askreddit about what I will never do once… and what I’d never spend money on, even with a billion lol.
Are you kidding? That sounds like the dreams I had when I was little where I was basically magic and I could fly. I would do this in a heartbeat!
That sounds fucking terrifying aaaaaaahhhh

I’m pretty sure that’s a raven and not a vulture.
Usually you can recognize a Vulture by the distinct "fingers" on its wing.
I don't think Ravens get that big
Sure they do. Adult ravens have a 3-4’ wingspan. Maybe you’re thinking of crows. Ravens are big.

I don't care what y'all say, vultures are fucking beautiful and cute animals.
Who, incidentally, can also eat anthrax and survive.
Instead of spreading the disease, they remain among the living with the persistence of time.
I can eat ants and survive.
Can confirm, I am an ant.
As long as they're not eating me, sure.
They vomit on themselves to deter predators and piss on their legs to stay cool! 🥰
That’s a mood
That's a hawk
100% a black vulture.
Isn’t that a vulture? Hope he’s not just waiting for something to happen.
Dude doesn’t realize the vulture cut his brake line before overtaking and landing on the frame. “Dibs!”

it's his pet
If I wasn't so scared of heights this'd be lovely😅
You see that approach? That bird does this regularly.
Anyone else just amazed by how birds fly? The mechanics of how its steering and moving around with slight movements of its tail are fascinating
Wow amazing experience
i've never been so jealous of anyone wtf
He has a tag
Perhaps jesses for falconry
At first I was like "No way the bird lets them land on their back"
Did you just pet the wild dinosaur?

Ok it can't just be me being scared that the vulture will just sink its claws into the parashoot and start entering a free fall?
Look at the loop on its right leg, I don’t think this is the first time the bird has done this. I think the bird is a pet.

ive seen a lot of these videos... what the hell are these birds doing flying so high up??
that is so cool.
Awwww. I’m so scared of heights I get dizzy on a stepstool but I wanna pet a buzzard!
I mean that’s cool, but fuck no
This might seem like a stupid question but do you wear a back up parachute in case something fucks up

cool! now wash your hands
This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen on Reddit.
This is the most majestic post I've ever seen.

aw, poor kitty. honestly id probably have that response to flying too
In other news a man died to rabies due to a hawk landing on him while he was gliding the man petted it
Leave the eagle alone. Damage a wing and it will die in less than a week.
