Here’s a video that’s making the round on Youtube right now, and it’s all about this crazy bird that wants to get to the other side. Maybe his fellow birds are calling him, or maybe he wants to go to the liqueur store, but he actually makes it, despite the heavy traffic.
We usually don’t want to spoil such things, but give how hair-rasing the whole 2 minutes of the video is, and how miraculously lucky our feathered friend look, we just had to tell you that he is OK when he gets to the other side.
Now for the boring stuff: why did a bird have to walk across the road? Well, this looks like something that’s called the Darter, a dedicated fisher that’s not very good at flying without an updraft and can’t fly at all when his feathers get wet. So he actually doesn’t have a choice here.
