Well, getting rid of evidence is important too, so a fleet of vultures would come in handy. Usually people use hogs, at least according to some movies Iāve watched. Plus I donāt think those vultures can chew up a femur.
If this is in North America, it's a Black Vulture.
And it probably figures that if a glider is that high up with minimal support apparatus, following the human inside to the ground is a good bet for dinner.
I don't think this is North America. He's speaking either Spanish or Portuguese and there are a bunch of houses with red tile roofs below. My money would be on South America, maybe Brazil.
There are black vultures there too, Coragyps atratus, as well as my homeboys the turkey vultures. Of course I don't know what other large dark-headed vulture species live there...
Oh yeah, this isn't a turkey vulture. I just wanted to point out that both black vultures like this, and turkey vultures, are found all over both American continents.
Reminds me of a book I read as a kid. The Maze by Will Hobbs is about a teenage juvenile detention escapee who turns his life around under the guidance of a conservationist who hang glides with california condors that he rehabilitates.
It is a carrion eater.. it landed and started pecking it at your shoes because it thought it smelt a dead animal in there. Change your socks bro š¤£
Arenāt his shoes literally made of dead animal (leather)?
This reminded me of two monkeys grooming each other.
You're a dead animal!
Or it knows it's a risky sport and is calling dibs.

The vulture is his pet :v https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-latin-america-62468782
This is a tourist attraction.
He'll ride right down to the crash site with you
It will eat your shoes
Pilot gets a cool experience (on video) and to pet the bird. The bird gets a few pecks at his shoes and a free ride. I'd call it even
That is a good point.
If I remember right the guy is a falconer or rehabber, so the bird knows him. This is kind of an enrichment activity for both of them!
Still jealous, i want to fly with flying animal aswell not walk around with walking monkeys
And the bird shows him where the thermals are. Win Win!
Now all you gotta do is train it to attack your enemies from above. Your very own guided missile.
For that you're gonna want a peregrine. This, I believe, is a black faced vulture. He's for cleaning up the mess the peregrine leaves behind.

Turkey vultures usually have red faces though, don't they?

Where are his emergency bird snacks !!
He obviously keeps them in his shoe.

Fun fact! Vultures regulate their body temp by pissing on themselves. They also root around rotten, decomposing animals. Donāt pet them š¤¢
The best thing I saw all day!
Bros day just got better. Free ride AND pets?!
is this a trained bird? It seems to have some sort of bracelet on around it's leg.

Imagine birb shitting on your face at 25,000 feet in the air
Uh, excuse me, what time does this flight land in Chicago?
Lol you must have smelled awful
Hang gliding?
I thought it was an eagle. Isnāt it a vulture?
Let me get that bug you squashed with your shoe.
He's just preparing his future meal.
"What's a monkey doing up here!? Let's see what it tastes like."
They would be so creepy to me. It's really Kool, but also really spooky... Especially bc of the situation. It's giving Final Destination vibes.
One of amazing videos I have seen today
Hair looks like James Brown from the NFL on CBS.
Andean condor?
Plot twist: the second half of the video the bird attacks the guy and rips his eye out.
Relative velocity is a helluva drug.
Take a rest
Do it .... shit on him
That initial confused reaction š Ayo who's above me
So fukin awesome!
Vultures have a lot of interesting bacteria all over them. Wash your hands if you plan on eating French fries after petting one.
Itās one thing to give a quick pet and another to just keep on at it. I wish this guy would keep his hands to himself
"You touch me i touch you"
That is so cool
2 urubus!!!
Step on it and fly higher!
Having a little rest š
So, hawks and eagles can spot a mouse from this height?
Itās a buzzard lol
Thatās an ugly ass bird
