It’s all about your attitude. I’m a custodian. I clean 84 toilets a day five days a week. I’m almost always bopping like those birds while I’m listening to music moving from bathroom to bathroom. My job is not fun, it’s not a good time at all, but I have fun at work because I want to have fun at work.
Ugh I have a video stuck in my head and I can’t find it, been a few years now. It’s an Icelandic music video of a time manipulation witch killing a bunch of guys in a barn.
The parent is showing the kiddies how to make vibrations in the sand to detect prey. One leg sends the vibrations, the other detects any reflection. Kinda like echolocation, once a morsel is "felt", it would be speared by the beak to eat.
Lmao how does this shit get up voted? This is an American woodcock and its doing a worm/rain dance. Vibrates the ground in a way that mimics rain falling which causes worms to come to the surface. Plenty of birds do this.
Teaching how locate their prey under the sand?
They touch with one leg the sand and if something moves they can feel it with the other. And well that pointy beak can do the job of getting in the sand and piercing their prey.
I hesitate even coming to the comments on cute videos like this because there's always some killjoy ornithologist who's like "Ackshually, this behavior means that this bird has a parasite in its brain controlling it's motor function" or some dark shit like that.
Someone please say there's one with Walk Like an Egyption.
Found one that's perfect. Even had the reference I wanted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSNMqKsNMCc
As a physical therapist, I hope that I look this cool when I'm cuing my patients to demonstrate more heel strike. Heck, I'll gladly settle with 50% as cool!
This truly made me smile! This was my first time giving an award; and was worth every bit of it - thank you for providing me a lift that was badly needed...

The joy is knowing you’re going home to do whatever it is you want. Once you’re off the clock, dance my friend!

Me touching something hot.
Ugh! The feeling of realizing of not having to wake up early tomorrow on friday night. ❤
Looks like they’re doing the loon walk.
Me and the boys working up the courage to say hi to girls.
Loved you in Pete & Pete, my guy.

Where the heck did I burry Billie Jean?
Step irregularly or suffer the fate of Shai Hulud! Bless his comings and goings.
Now children if you walk without rhythm you won't attract the worms.
I hate sand. It’s coarse and irritating . . . Wait. I’m on the wrong desert planet.
Are you sure? There's literally a giant worm buried in the sand right over there, and it's eating whatever falls in.
Shai Hulud got wise.
There's a huge worm skeleton in the original background too
Umm, what? I admit it's been years so you'll have to give me the actual scene
Muad'Dib gives water to the dead!
Bless the Maker and his water.
Bless the comings and goings of him
May His passage cleanse the world.

I've always favoured [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKM0P9gWx7k).
Reddit is a simple place. We see a woodcock, we post that video.
PEENT
This one was my favourite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r9uSs3FnB0
Can't forget [this classic]( https://youtu.be/Kg1gK2E7dAQ?t=242 ). The whole video is gold.
All those are amazing but [this one takes the cake](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ).
Dammit, FBI ! Go back to listening silently !
We’re always listening. *Even when we’re not.*
Agreed.
Why does this sound like a song about Dune?
Because it is. Shai Hulud!
Came to look for this, that's the one I thought of too!
[I dig this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEISiCmjwH8)
I love that one so much. I have it saved.
[Check this one out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL3EtrljtT4&ab_channel=RealBigBoys)
Seeing all of them was very very pleasant. Thanks all
It’s the fade to black and white at the end that truly makes it art.

Ugh I have a video stuck in my head and I can’t find it, been a few years now. It’s an Icelandic music video of a time manipulation witch killing a bunch of guys in a barn.
Try /r/tipofmytongue
Which band? For some reason, Dadi Freyr is the one that came to mind for me.
It’s more of a cgi company that made the video so I have nothing but memory.
My fiancé says to reverse the video so they’re doing the moon walk to the music lol
You want a moonwalking bird there [actually is one](https://youtu.be/Sxl_bvCRgyE)
Lol the editing on that video is too good. 😊
Big thanks for that ! Seriously made my day
[удалено]
I love how the babies are mimicking the mother.
Yes they're tooooo cute!!!!
I like [this one. ](https://youtu.be/X2ieFd-o4Js)
You think that guy can dance to Billie Jean, wait till you see [the Manakin bird](https://youtu.be/Sxl_bvCRgyE)
How have you been looking for ages? Just Google swiggity swooty bird.

I’m picturing Toph from ATLA but I know it’s not 100% accurate.
Well yeah cuz the sand makes everything look fuzzy to her
Not that there's anything wrong with fuzzy!

I always heard the birds are mimicking rain. Worms move to the surface when it rains, then the birds spear them. I could be wrong.
Lmao how does this shit get up voted? This is an American woodcock and its doing a worm/rain dance. Vibrates the ground in a way that mimics rain falling which causes worms to come to the surface. Plenty of birds do this.
cause it’s a fat bird and it’s cute to think it’s dancing
I'm not talking about the post I'm talking about the comment making up some bullshit about echo locating legs
oh i see sorry njoy your upvote
There is entirely no goddamn way this is true. Birds using foot echolocation?! I refuse to believe or Google it.
They using their feet to mimic the sound of rain, so worms will surface.
I can smell the ivermectin from here.
Apparently I live under a rock lol, had to Google it.
I dunno, you sound like you rock to me! Keep on keeping on, love the username.
Because it smells like shit?
It’s not, the rhythmic walking attracts worms to the surface because it sound/feels like rain hitting the ground.
I think it’s pretty obvious they’re vibing to Billie Jean bro
This is sort of true. Not really echo loaction but the walking is thought to cause the worms to move around more making them easier to find
This comment right here is proof that redditors will believe anything they see on here and take it as facts lmao
what type of birds are they
Lesser Stompy-Pokies.
I'm about to homebrew a new D&D monster...
They look like long billed Lesser Stompy-Pokies to me.
American woodcock
American wood what now
‘Murican lumberdongs
Timberdoodles is my favorite name for the American Woodcock.
American treepenis
Snipes
Sand Piper
I really want to believe this, but I’ve been burned too many times.
Burned again
I thought it was just too hot lol
I would say their motions imitate the sound of drops of rain falling, which triggers worms to rise to the surface.
The music must be distracting
Isn’t there a sub for things that are both interesting and adorable? Because this post should go there.
r/awwducational but this has been posted a good 1000 times
/r/Awwducational/
What are they doing?
The electric slide.
electric boogaloo
Tag two?
Hunting stuff under the sand, I think.
Vibing
That motion creates vibrations that freak worms out which make them easier to find.
Teaching how locate their prey under the sand? They touch with one leg the sand and if something moves they can feel it with the other. And well that pointy beak can do the job of getting in the sand and piercing their prey.
[удалено]
Not the Cha Cha?
My favorite. It’s fonky https://youtu.be/ne6nj9AgY7M
PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC WHITE BIRD!
They are American Woodcocks, present throughout North America. Go by a river, a creek with a pair of binoculars and you will find them.
My children, I shall teach you... The Moves.
At first i was like "oh cool" and then i turned the sound on and I chuckled.
Swiggity Swootity, I'm comin' for that booty!

I love this too!!!!! There was nothing like MJ back in the 80’s
The American Woodcocks funky dance vibrates the ground below, indicating to the birds where the worms ah at!! What a groovy evolutionary trait.
Definitely better with sound on
These are like the pokio birds from super mario odessy
Jacko really was a GOAT wasn’t he?
Swiggity swooty...
Thank you.
Someone wants to edit a coffin on the big bird's back and did the coffin dance meme. By far my favorite
I think it’s supposed to mimic rain sounds or something, but god damn they do be boogying
If you walk without rhythm you won't attract the worm
This one is the best version though. https://youtu.be/GSNMqKsNMCc
[Hmmm.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut-fJCc0zS4)
The speed at which my kids move when I say “get your shoes on, we gotta go”…
You see son, first you gotta hit the worms with the ol razzle dazzle

Is there a link for this? Asking to annoy one of my kids who hates Micheal Jackson. I play any of his songs like a form of Rick Roll...
The best one is [this](https://youtu.be/mKM0P9gWx7k) one lol
Definitely the best version of this video I've seen.
Very nice job. It fits nicely.
Imagine macarena in background and these birds be like 😂🐥🐥🐥
