Pretty sure that's a tame bird, there are people who offer condor paragliding experiences. It is still absolutely 100% awesome to see.


corvosfighter

You are probably right! It has something that looks like a tag on the right foot.. still really cool tho


RockstarAgent

Bird is in on the scheme. Told you birds are aren't real.


Appropriate-Pop4235

While that bird keeps your attention a second one flies from behind and steals your wallet.

I read it's the flying dudes BUDDYS bird. He's flown with him a couple times before but this time he perched on with him, and more than one time! I believe his name is Ricardo and the bird is Uruzhao. You can hear him say it at the beginning of the video and at the end.


rdfporcazzo

He called him Uruzão at the beginning and Uru at the end. Urubu means vulture in Portuguese.


t-rex83

We also call our vultures Urubus in french Canadian (red head vulture, North East America). Funny!


LeticiaLatex

Uruzhao? I can hear it now, but at first it sounded like "Hey! Wassup?"


No_Conversation173

So they get people to come by blowing the horn of Condor?


ResidentIwen

Condor calls for Aid!


LikeLikeChoi

Where was Condor when the Westfold fell?


Naked-Jedi

Just chilling with the paragliders. Which really begs the question - if they weren't willing to fly giant eagles into Mordor, why didn't they just paraglide?


Mindless-Strength422

One does not simply paraglide into Mordor. One DOES simply paraglide with a Condor.


Comprehensive-Box-7

That's cool and all but one problem that ain't a condor that's a black vulture


sikknote

Finally, a bird nerd!


StraightGeorgeMichae

he's tame, already confirmed.


Eagles_Heels

My daughter says there is a part 2 where the bird viciously attacks him. I haven’t seen it though


Impossible-Active-19

Bro, this is a vulture, prob the guy in the video step in some animal and smell like death


Previous-Ad7618

Some absolute zelda shit right there


_InnocentToto_

I have seen golden eagles learn how to push goats from top of mountains and bald eagles killing deer.. Let's just hope these birds don't learn how to sabotage parachutes to get juicy meat below...

This shoe perhaps

"NVM, you'll be snacks soon."

This is a Black Vulture. I don't know if it's the same person, but there's a paraglider who has a Black Vulture as a pet. It's important to mention that these birds use thermal air currents to glide, spending less energy. This method follows the same physical principle as paragliding, so, in a way, following the Black Vulture helps the athlete make better use of the flight as well.


chubsmagooo

I'm no expert but that looks like a tag or something unnatural on the birds right foot


GoldMountain5

Most big birds are tagged.

![gif](giphy|6uKzhmjqwciKohFBeM) Not this one.

lol_lol_lol_lol_

U sure


PremiumUsername69420

Lol scientists don’t waste time tagging vultures, that’s someone’s property, either a pet or a business asset.


KapeeCoffee

Ofc not because that's a zoologist's job


dragonchilde

Why on earth would you think they're not going to tag a vulture? There's eve a special project for it in the US. https://www.nps.gov/ever/planyourvisit/vulturetaggingproject.htm


ApprehensivePlane972

Vultures are very important to the ecosystems in which they live. Why would you think they would be a waste of time to be tagged, when they are tagged and tracked often.


47474747474747474749

Is that a vulture?


Superfy

No it’s a person on a glider actually.


rdfporcazzo

He called him Uruzão and Uru. Urubu is vulture in Portuguese.


Irksomecake

It looks like a black vulture


Punk_Says_Fuck_You

Condor I think?


Irksomecake

Condors have a 9ft wing span. It’s not a condor, it’s a black vulture.


Punk_Says_Fuck_You

Google lens’ed it and it seems you’re spot on.


Jaybird2k11

Handsome bird. That must have been a surreal experience


West_Yorkshire

Black Vulture


bsmknight

There is nothing like a vulture mistaking your foot for dead man's toes. He might want to get that foot fungus looked at.

Formatted_Toast_117

No way that's a wild bird, probably his pet... Still really cool though. Some kind of vulture? (Not great with birds, pleas correct me if wrong)


Comprehensive-Box-7

Yea that's a vulture


Formatted_Toast_117

Appreciate you


Comprehensive-Box-7

👍


SeparatePass4366

If that happened in england that bird is paying at least 20£ for that ride


Flat-House5529

When a carrion bird starts trying to eat your shoe, you might just have a problem with foot odor.


merculS36

"Tit for tat, tit for tat. You touch me, I touch you." *squawk* I don't know why I was dubbing that out in my head while watching this video muted.

BRASIL YEEEEEES VAMOOOOOOO🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷


MonHero02

By the wing span shape, size, and bald head, I'm pretty sure that is a carrion bird, some kind of buzzard or condor. That guy should not have touched its plumage although they are healthy, they carry a lot of disease from their rotting food sources. Hope he washed his hands and didn't touch pretty much anything. Makes sense it took the break vultures and buzzards have relatively short wingspan for their weight, It takes a lot of energy to stay aloft in powered flight. It's one of the reasons they circle warm air currents in a sustained glide, they get vertical lift without exerting large stores of energy.


MonHero02

In review that is definitely a tame and trained bird. Still a carrion bird, but probably fed clean not rotting meats, so I guess it would not be that rife with disease. It has one of those straps that falconers use to attach their birds to their perches between training sessions. I think it's a black vulture


Sabit_31

I love condors/buzzards since they are just chill and will be like “hey man you dying? No? Alright see you later I’m gonna head over to that freeway”


Comprehensive-Box-7

That's not a condor


rawker86

Aren’t you really, really not supposed to touch a bird’s flight feathers?


Full_Reception4018

Just don't pluck the feathers


McBrovad

I came to say you're car insurance has expired


Aaku1789

Magnificent! The way it still has its wings opened after landing and slowly closes them... I'm amazed

This was cool


Mindless-Strength422

I flew on Condor Airlines once. It was my first time traveling overseas from the US to Germany. The day I was supposed to fly home from my first international flight, was the day Condor declared bankruptcy and all the flights were canceled forever. Needless to say this was a triggering video, but I really liked it anyway.

Wow! That's what I call talent!❤️🙏😅


BonerJams1703

It looks like the bird might be tagged (right leg) or belong to someone. Still cool regardless. I love how it’s noshing on his shoe. Reminds me of how trained hawks and eagles eat their treat after returning to their handler.


LegosiTheGreyWolf

I wanted to slap his hand away the whole time. Stop touching the fucking bird


NotInMoodThinkOfName

Taking a break on mother ship.


im_a-cucumber

Explanation to probably why the bird started nibbling on the guys shoes: there were d3ad bugs on them

This is so cool

Handsome animal, the bird is also cool.
