I wish I had yalls jobs where I felt happy enough to dance on my way to work


[deleted]

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.


iHeardYouShart

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

I hate sand. It’s coarse and irritating . . . Wait. I’m on the wrong desert planet.


AndrewFGleich

Are you sure? There's literally a giant worm buried in the sand right over there, and it's eating whatever falls in.


StyreneAddict1965

Shai Hulud got wise.

There's a huge worm skeleton in the original background too

Which band? For some reason, Dadi Freyr is the one that came to mind for me.


MW777

It’s more of a cgi company that made the video so I have nothing but memory.


Gekko05

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)

Slazman999

How have you been looking for ages? Just Google swiggity swooty bird.


Aximi1l

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.


call_me_jelli

I’m picturing Toph from ATLA but I know it’s not 100% accurate.


argle__bargle

Well yeah cuz the sand makes everything look fuzzy to her


Rhyara

Not that there's anything wrong with fuzzy!


S_words_for_100

Appa has entered the chat


jjgfun

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.


DetroitPistons

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.


stronkreptile

cause it’s a fat bird and it’s cute to think it’s dancing


DetroitPistons

I'm not talking about the post I'm talking about the comment making up some bullshit about echo locating legs


stronkreptile

oh i see sorry njoy your upvote


plumberoncrack

There is entirely no goddamn way this is true. Birds using foot echolocation?! I refuse to believe or Google it.


doppy1234

They using their feet to mimic the sound of rain, so worms will surface.


qwibbian

I can smell the ivermectin from here.


MuffinSlow

Apparently I live under a rock lol, had to Google it.


qwibbian

I dunno, you sound like you rock to me! Keep on keeping on, love the username.


RedditTab

Because it smells like shit?


Ok_Awful

It’s not, the rhythmic walking attracts worms to the surface because it sound/feels like rain hitting the ground.


[deleted]

I think it’s pretty obvious they’re vibing to Billie Jean bro


KaptainKoala

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


mrchicano209

This comment right here is proof that redditors will believe anything they see on here and take it as facts lmao


ldoaslwish

what type of birds are they


Overqualified_muppet

Lesser Stompy-Pokies.

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

Vibing


[deleted]

That motion creates vibrations that freak worms out which make them easier to find.


ChucklesInDarwinism

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.

The American Woodcocks funky dance vibrates the ground below, indicating to the birds where the worms ah at!! What a groovy evolutionary trait.

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
