Amazing Photo

So this guy was on his hang glider soaring through the sky when this opportunist of a huge turkey vulture decided to mooch a ride. The bird landed on the footrest of the glider and even allowed the man to stroke his feathers (2nd photo), all the while squawking up a storm. We don't know how long the two flew together. This was taken from a video.

@Kachina624 I saw the video. Nature truly is amazing. Wonder what the guy was thinking when the hitchhiker came along! I would have been scared and thrilled at the same time.

That is amazing!

I watched the video (just put in turkey buzzard on hang glider).

It seems this bird really likes this guy and kind of followed him around even before the flight. He really likes him

Thanks for finding such a great picture @Kachina624. It's not like we see this every day, or never have before!

@Malcontent,

This is definitely ot so pls forgive.
I thought of you today while watching Still Standing with Jonny Harris the Canadian comedian who also played George Crabtree in Murdoch Mysteries.

Anyway, my point and there was one lol is season 5 episode 2 about Scheiber Ontario is so funny about mostly Italians living there and how they got there-very funny. I thought you would appreciate it.

@on the bay

I just looked it up. It’s a show about Italians from Siderno?

I will watch it. Thank You for thinking of me.

By the way, I’m Friuli. Go north from Siderno and keep going all the way up. lol

It will take you a while so here’s a bottle or GRAPPA for your journey.

Just watched the video--100% real, and quite cool! Well, I have many pet birds, and sometimes they like to hitch a ride. They definitely love feeling the wind in their wings!

@rms1954. Look up the video and tell us what you think of that, doubting one.

I just said it looked fake from the photo. I wasn't questioning the validity.
