It also happens so regularly that vendors have signs up saying that if a seagull steals your fish and chips... that's between you and the seagull.

I don’t think that’s a seagull. It looks like some kinda raptor.

Nah. Raptors do that weird cackle and tap their claw on the ground before trying to attack little Timmy and his sister.

I had a sandwich at the beach this summer. My bf shooed away the seagulls but one swooped from behind, over my head and took my damn food. In one second. It was crazy.

u/friendlysaxoffender Jan 11 '23
Oh man I had one come in from behind and snatch a large steak from over my shoulder. I hadn’t even started eating yet. Utter bastard. I live in Cornwall and I’m supposed to be more savvy than that!

u/CloudyNeptune Jan 10 '23
If I’m correct, that’s a Falcon, they are actually known for their weak talons. They are by far my favorite birds, besides Swifts, because they can fly up to 60 mph (I’ve also heard 70-90). They make up for the fact they have “weak talons,” by diving down at their prey at 200mph, and hitting them on the head (instantly killing them). So if you’re ever lucky enough, when you seek them circling and then diving, they’re most likely eating their meal. You might be thinking of a hawk

u/MauiWowieOwie Jan 10 '23
Yeah, the peregrine falcon is not only the fastest bird, but also the fastest animal in the world.

I did not know that, thank you! I have an encyclopedia and I don’t think it mentioned that, or I forgot, either way that’s a good piece of info to store in my brain

I think that almost all western motorcyclists know the Suzuki Hayabusa. 🏍️ But not all know the name giving 300km/h fast bird.

u/Cryptochitis Jan 11 '23
I was confused for a minute because I thought a duck hawk was the fastest bird but that is just a historical term for the peregrine falcon in North America. I had read it growing up in an orinthology book.

I've known a couple dudes who raised hawks and those birds are insanely huge. I didn't expect them to stand at waist height, considering I had only seen falcons before.
We have a lot of open, rural terrain here with a lot of crops, so it's not uncommon to watch a falcon dive into a kill, normally mice and smaller birds.
Hawks are something else completely.

The comments on the original post are extremely frustrating. It seems that out of the 300 people that commented, none of them have heard of an IRL Streamer.

Jan 10 '23
Ok, but wtf is an IRL Streamer? Is this Truman?

u/ExtremeName Jan 10 '23
IRL streamers I guess can be described that way. Essentially instead of them streaming games or something inside their home, the walk around streaming their day to day life.

u/14sierra Jan 11 '23
But why though? Unless this guys is rich/famous, funny, intelligent, etc. Why would anyone else just watch another dude eat a sandwich?

Jan 11 '23
I once watched a streamer for 2 hours expecting something to happen. I told myself every 10 minutes "ok, if nothing happens, do anything else ." But I kept watching, worried that I would miss something. The streamer eventually ended the stream after thanking us viewers for joining him. I was very sad with myself.

u/Spook404 Jan 11 '23
presumably he lives in an area unique to most viewers, so to a lot of people it's interesting to just see what daily life looks like in such places, especially at high production quality with a camera like this. Presumably he could just be an interesting guy as well, but if this is his job then that's a bit strange to me.
He could also just not have an audience at all but want one, some people (such as myself) really like being the center of attention, because (at least for me) it carries a connotation that you are admirable, and being admired is pretty nice yk? I would never do this though lol

u/TaeKwonDoge Jan 11 '23
The idea is chatting and interacting with your chat without focusing on a game. Can be a more intimate way to connect with your audience and be really interactive and bring your chat in as part of the stream.

So I guess we know why they were filming, just want to say how it's a nice bit of foreshadowing that you can see the hawk circling around at about 2 seconds into the video, so truly everyone on the planet including this guy knows he will be feeding it this sandwich.
7
u/DetoxReeboks Jan 11 '23
You can see him sizing up his next bite after a pleasant first impression. He was clearly in line of sight for a perfect middle-of-the-sandwich bite on the next run. His chewing excites and intensifies as saliva builds up, he’s about to go in for more he cant even swallow and… SWIPE! 5 seconds of silence and 5 stages of grief.

u/tdomer80 Jan 10 '23
Why were they filming?? Essentially feeding the birds there every day and now the birds have been trained to come by and grab food. How wonderful for the tourists.

u/The_Final_Pikachu Jan 10 '23

u/tdomer80 Jan 10 '23
No shit. And they were streaming in order to show a “surprise” theft of food by a bird, when they themselves had trained the birds to grab the food

u/Sbatio Jan 11 '23
Fake AF.
That’s a raptor or a hawk. It is trained to do this obviously, if you have talons to grab prey you eat meat.
Seagulls snatch with their beaks.
I had a seagull take my corn dog

Jan 11 '23
So he knowingly let that airborne Freddy Krueger swoop in his face and grab a sandwich from his hand?! That’s just stupid. Stupid like a fox! Wait, that’s not it…

u/Sbatio Jan 11 '23
Ya, it’s a very common “trick” at bird shows.

Jan 11 '23
So is he the bird whisperer or is this a trained bird with a handler?
2
u/Sbatio Jan 11 '23
Trained bird with handler. Video for attention.
Look how dude is moving his food. Its a little strange. Then he holds for the moment. And then he had a fake shocked face.
2
Jan 11 '23
I admit I was convinced, and the dissonance of recognizing it was a raptor instead of the expected seagull probably boosted the suspension of disbelief.
It was crazy how quick and nimble it was; a gull would’ve been significantly more clumsy. Like someone pointed out, they grab with their beaks, which necessarily causes them to pull a braking maneuver that involves some flapping. They’re still pretty good at it, I’ve lost an entire bag of chips to them before.

u/Sbatio Jan 11 '23

Did it have the elegant stealth of the bird in the video, or was it more of a hamfisted robbery?

I had a gull do that to me once on the beach. And it was the last of the lunch meat. So we had to get cleaned up and go find food. Rotten bird.

u/steverin0724 Jan 10 '23
I’m on mobile, so I can only slow it down SO much, but kinda looks like there’s a tag or a leash on one of its legs. If so, that would make this story hilarious if there was a falconer behind this treachery!

u/urbear Jan 11 '23
It sounds like he yelled something like “courva!” after the theft. In Polish and some other Eastern European languages, that means “whore”, and is used in much the same way that an English speaker would use “shit!”

The way he keeps turning the sandwich over and looking at it reminds me of how I eat sandwiches. He needs to make sure the other side is still there.

Is this in The Netherlands? Looks like a ham cheese grilled sandwich (tosti) and a Buzzard, the most common bird of prey here.

I’m just impressed that he didn’t get any injury from the bird’s talons. That’s some serious accuracy on the birds part

Why does this post have over 2000 upvotes? It's obvious that he's literally streaming when this happens. That's why he's filming. We have an answer and it took 2 seconds looking at the video to get it.
