This Person Forces Birds To Gather In Specific Locations To Create An Image By Simply Feeding Them

ADVERTISEMENT

There are many tools and techniques for drawing. Some use pencils, some—oils, some are drawing with birds. Wait, what? Yes, we were a bit confused about it too at first, but you’ve read it correctly—there are people out there who are creating stunning drawings out of real, living birds. How, one may ask? Well, by feeding them and thus arranging them into your preferred shape, of course!

Sadly, while the video has gone viral on several social media platforms, there is no knowing who exactly is behind this impressive art. Before we find out all the details (or not, depending whether the artist wants to remain anonymous or not), scroll down below to see the stunning footage of this type of innovative drawing in action.

    One of the most intriguing things that people have noticed in the short video is the turkey. “Is that a turkey?” someone asked on Reddit after numerous people asked the same question on other social media platforms. Apparently, there really *is* a turkey in the whole assembly of birds.

    Which, seemingly, is a stickman doing a “hadouken”

    People were praising the unusual street artist for their “brilliant effort” and “sick skills.” Also, many just wrote “HADOUKEN! HADOUKEN!” excitedly. Well, that’s the internet for ya.

    Yeah - it's called baiting and you can do it with many critters, not just birds.

    Beautiful to watch how they're everywhere and it looks chaotic, and then they get in position and it's incredible.
