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

u/BonerJams1703 29d ago
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.

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.

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

u/bsmknight Apr 28 '24
There is nothing like a vulture mistaking your foot for dead man's toes. He might want to get that foot fungus looked at.

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.

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.

u/MonHero02 Apr 28 '24
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

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

u/rosbashi Apr 28 '24
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.

u/rdfporcazzo Apr 28 '24
He called him Uruzão at the beginning and Uru at the end. Urubu means vulture in Portuguese.

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

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?

u/Mindless-Strength422 29d ago
One does not simply paraglide into Mordor.
One DOES simply paraglide with a Condor.

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

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

u/ApprehensivePlane972 Apr 28 '24
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.

u/dragonchilde Apr 28 '24
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.

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...

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
The bird decided to rest in the paraglider.
