πͺπΊNo I don't know what's happening in this video either ... I feel there is a drama or story yet to unfold π½οΈ
Jen - mangledPixel@Natasha_Jay I feel like the camera operator is either about to witness something incredible, or is very much in danger. Or perhaps both.
Irina@mangled_pixel @Natasha_Jay Or they have something edible that the squirrel and the pigeon both want!
Sarah Peper π³οΈββ§οΈπΊπ¦@irina @mangled_pixel @Natasha_Jay or they're in a space where squirrel and pigeon are expecting humans to have edible stuff
Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UK@jay_peper @irina @mangled_pixel @Natasha_Jay
I suspect the camera operator is feeding all these creatures in return for footage, an Egyptian goose parent is not normally as chill as that (BTW it could be either mum or dad, strictly speaking this species is a type of duck, but is identified as a goose as they mate for life and both parents share the parenting duty).
The animals know the camera operator is a good person (and has food) so aren't scared to approach them..
@vfrmedia depending on the location, geese can be quite chill around humans, even with offspring - I guess they get desensitised (and again,might develop an expectation to be fed. Certainly happens in Central London)
@jay_peper could be the case along the length of the non-tidal Thames, as my aunt and cousins live in Caversham near Reading and they regularly feed the ducks and geese, which are friendly and seek them out when they see them walking..
Silver Arrows@vfrmedia TIL Egyptian geese are ducks! I got chased by the one in Hyde Park with the sticking out wing feather. I wonder if he's still alive and if his feather still sticking out (it was when we went a year later). We called him Captain Gooso.

Or the squirrel and the pigeon were making a nature documentary and the human tried to quietly walk off with their camera and lighting equipment leaving both critters stunned asking themselves "is this really happening? A human is stealing our equipment?!"
Estarriol, Terrorist Dragon@Natasha_Jay the squirrel and the pigeon are hired security for the ducklings.
nachtet@Natasha_Jay this is gold π

Egyptian geese. They are generally very noisy, but I guess they are chill when they're being photobombed! :p

Guy on the runJust looks like auditions at the theater to me.
Daniel M Karlsson@Natasha_Jay [chuckles]
sheislaurence@Natasha_Jay seems the lens rim must be covered in edibles!!
David Scott Moyer@Natasha_Jay Bird feeder with a camera.
acm@farbel @Natasha_Jay I kept thinking that there must be a dish of crackers on top, or maybe the camera smeared with peanut butter... :))
Gabs@Natasha_Jay AI made me doubt everything - the magic is gone

It's a duck VIP family, clearly.
The squirrel is guarding their perimeter, the pigeon is providing overwatch.

Killa Koala@Natasha_Jay Suddenly a shot rings out, Mr Squirrel goes down with blood pouring out of his now headless torso. The ducklings scatter in terror and Ms Pigeon takes to the sky like she has a rocket up her butt. Before anyone else knows what's happening Mama Duck is brandishing a long barrelled Colt .44 revolver and she retuns fire at a dark figure half hidden in the bushes.
Mr Fox drops his rifle and staggers out and collapses at Mama's feet, dead. Slowly her young return and gather near the body of Mr Fox. Ms Pigeon lands nearby. She looks shocked, that butt-rocket trick surprised even her.
Mama Duck begins to speak. "Children, the Colt .44 is the most powerful handgun in the world. It can take your head clean off, but today my aim was a little out and so this punk just has a hole the size of a chicken egg in his chest."
The frightened ducklings know their Mama didn't learn to do this sort of thing swimming in the local river, she's been keeping secrets from them.
Lying concealed in the weeds some distance away, having observed the entire incident with keen interest, is a now very grumpy black cat.
Javier@Natasha_Jay the forest creatures just learnt that Snow White is not a vegetarian.
Liam Ward@Natasha_Jay This gave me a flashback to a kids' programme that used to be on the TV in the 70s that I had totally forgotten about.

I thought about posting this as a photo bomb! But there's so much character in it too I left it neutral.

@Natasha_Jay that Close Pigeon cracks me up! it's like Domokun rising up to threaten us all...
PetraI assume it was filmed by an Urban Snow White?
Analog AI@Natasha_Jay Love the cameos by the Pigeon
@Natasha_Jay Is that Chekov's life buoy I see in this introductory scene?

Cosmic LibrarianI have bird feeders and a birdbath. The squirrels and birds always show up to feed at the same times of day. Safety in numbers...And they have the same enemies too.
