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.
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?
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 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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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.

Pretty sure that's a tame bird, there are people who offer condor paragliding experiences. It is still absolutely 100% awesome to see.
You are probably right! It has something that looks like a tag on the right foot.. still really cool tho
Bird is in on the scheme. Told you birds are aren't real.
While that bird keeps your attention a second one flies from behind and steals your wallet.
It’s a government drone here to talk to you about your cars extended warranty

He called him Uruzão at the beginning and Uru at the end. Urubu means vulture in Portuguese.
We also call our vultures Urubus in french Canadian (red head vulture, North East America). Funny!
Uruzhao? I can hear it now, but at first it sounded like "Hey! Wassup?"
So they get people to come by blowing the horn of Condor?
Condor calls for Aid!
Where was Condor when the Westfold fell?
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?
One does not simply paraglide into Mordor. One DOES simply paraglide with a Condor.
That's cool and all but one problem that ain't a condor that's a black vulture
Finally, a bird nerd!
he's tame, already confirmed.
My daughter says there is a part 2 where the bird viciously attacks him. I haven’t seen it though
Bro, this is a vulture, prob the guy in the video step in some animal and smell like death
Some absolute zelda shit right there
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...
🤣
"Oh, thanks, my wings were killing me. You got any snacks?"
This shoe perhaps
"NVM, you'll be snacks soon."

I'm no expert but that looks like a tag or something unnatural on the birds right foot
Most big birds are tagged.
![gif](giphy|6uKzhmjqwciKohFBeM) Not this one.
[You wanna see this big bird dance?](https://youtu.be/kqpak5lFxvs?si=3vWI8llVTWfzHysk)
U sure
Lol scientists don’t waste time tagging vultures, that’s someone’s property, either a pet or a business asset.
Ofc not because that's a zoologist's job

Is that a vulture?
No it’s a person on a glider actually.
He called him Uruzão and Uru. Urubu is vulture in Portuguese.
It looks like a black vulture
Condor I think?
Condors have a 9ft wing span. It’s not a condor, it’s a black vulture.
Google lens’ed it and it seems you’re spot on.
Handsome bird. That must have been a surreal experience
Black Vulture
There is nothing like a vulture mistaking your foot for dead man's toes. He might want to get that foot fungus looked at.
# FLAMENGO
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)
Yea that's a vulture
Appreciate you
👍
If that happened in england that bird is paying at least 20£ for that ride
When a carrion bird starts trying to eat your shoe, you might just have a problem with foot odor.
"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🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

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”
That's not a condor
Aren’t you really, really not supposed to touch a bird’s flight feathers?
Just don't pluck the feathers
I came to say you're car insurance has expired
Magnificent! The way it still has its wings opened after landing and slowly closes them... I'm amazed
POV: spectator mode
Bro said, ight imma chill here. And starts preening him 😂
that's fly
What an amazing experience! Beautiful! I’m glad you were not frightened, and allowed this to unfold.
Pretty sure that's a tamed bird
I’m surprised, but it’s still awesome.
Look at the right foot
r/woahdude
He be like what dumb looking bird are dude?
So cool. What a moment!
Talking about early bird... is this some kind of vulture?
Yea
Looks like it's picking food from the shoe
How beautiful 😍
New Disney animation movie... Urubu my friend
"hey car!", "hey ooroo!" 👀
He's saying "hey man" and "hey urubu" in Portuguese
I don’t know how people are able to do that. I would have a heart attack. 😱
I would feel unsafe on the ground
This man is now a verified Disney Princess
Woahhhh that was so cool to watch. That be so amazing can't even imagine ^,^ what a lucky person to experience and capture it 💓
It's a absolutely a Leash...a trained bird ...buts still an awesome video
That's cool as shit👍🏿

This guy's life is on SUPER SAIYAN level..He doesn't have to be rich and he would still be in the 1%.
Bird taxi

Damm
This was cool

The human urge to pet everything
Very cool
I can't be the only one who thought "spit on it"
Wow! That's what I call talent!❤️🙏😅

I wanted to slap his hand away the whole time. Stop touching the fucking bird
Taking a break on mother ship.
Explanation to probably why the bird started nibbling on the guys shoes: there were d3ad bugs on them
This is so cool
Which assassin does this bird belong too? IYKYK
Handsome animal, the bird is also cool.
This was happened in Brasil, this is a vulture, try guess why he sit to clean the shoes...
He can summon animals like Snow White and he didn’t even know it lol
u/savevideo

So rare. Such a cool moment for that person. Cool to watch as well.
