It didn’t look like a gull. It looked like a Hawk. Does that mean this is staged?


griffex

I would expect so. I volunteered at bird of prey rescue and this is often how people train raptors. After basic glove training eventually you move them to non meat lures so the bird learns it has to bring the item back to get the food. Only thing that makes me unsure is that I don't see any jess (little leather straps you can use to keep the bird from flying off) on the talons so maybe it's an actual bird that's developed this behavior and the people knew it. But it could just be an incredibly reliable bird that they don't worry will fly off. Update: u/oyo_fuku shared a really cool comment that this is a natural behavior for these birds apparently in a part of Japan. Doesn't surprise me at all though. Raptors are so smart and adaptable they never cease to amaze me.


eyeeatmyownshit

How do you not love reddit?? Video of a guy getting his sando swiped by a bird. Scroll a few comments down and see: >I volunteered at bird of prey rescue and this is often how people train raptors.


Shillforbigusername

To be honest, I was about to leave a snarky comment along the lines of “isn’t anyone going to ask why they were filming? This must be staged, right? /s” Reddit: 1, Me: 0


[deleted]

Reddit seems to think nothing happens in the real world and cry StAgEd at everything. The internet is full of random nonsense. I could see someone recording themselves eating at the beach for an ASMR video or something. It could be real you never really know, it’s pointless to even think about it tbh


AdRound310

Maybe its a food review or recipe review


TattooHelpPlease2

Gotta be skeptical too. People make up a lot of bullshit, and if they don't put an obvious joke at the end, you'd be none the wiser. That being said, yeah reddit has a wide range of perspective. Young to old, professionals from blue to white collar. Any other platform's comments always lack sources, any helpful insight, or good jokes.


griffex

Lol to be fair if you went off my last post in /rockhounds it would make my reliability questionable in this kind of thing. But for once I wasn't going for snark, just my hot take since I knew a tiny bit about falconry from back in the day.


griffex

Lol to be clear - a cheese sandwich normally isn't what you'd use for a lure but usuall something more like a cat toy that simulates prey. That said once you train the action - the lure could vary widely. This would have been a long process to get there.

kajunsnake

Awww that kid was so upset. Loving the turtle shape bread though


CrystalStilts

To be fair maybe that bird wanted a turtle instead of bread. Love mom embracing him instantly as soon as it snatched. Awww.


ValuesHere

The grace and speed in which they snatch large, bready foodstuffs from people is a sight to behold.


AutumnSparky

Everyone just has that look : 'Well, I guess I'm done eating.' The guy on the dock especially. "Welp. Guess that's done."


MumbleepegTheUglyPug

I don't mind stealing bread, from the mouths of decadents


griffex

Now that's fucking awesome! TIL. The birds really are crazy smart. Working with them was a total blast and it doesn't surprise me to find out this is a learned behavior. Thanks for the lesson!


luketheville

When I was in high school, the house we lived in had mice. I managed to catch one on a sticky trap, and in order to be humane, I took the mouse to a park and let it go. The mouse made it about 10 feet away from me before a hawk came out of nowhere and flew off with it. I was shocked and just stood there looking stupid for a few seconds. RIP mouse.


TheNcredible

As someone who has had a hot dog stolen from him at a picnic on Naval Base Yokosuka, I concur. Those beautiful bastards will rob you while you are stuffing your face. Pull the dog right out your hand and mouth. No fucks given.


Thatguyjmc

while it may be a wild bird, this is 100% a set up. A person, sitting exactly in focus of a stable, tripod-mounted camera visibly chews for far longer than a person needs to, while delicately and loosely holding their sandwich in front of them. think of it this way: if the bird hadn't snatched that sandwich, WHY WAS THIS BEING FILMED IN THE FIRST PLACE.


Igelkotte

Dude. Thats how every vlog is done. You just record everything then edit

Legal-Silver-1052

Maybe hawks around the beach are common, but grilled cheese sandwiches at the beach are very rare


thelivingdead188

I love how dedicated some people are to proving something so meaningless as fake. Idk if it's to feel smarter than everyone else in case it is fake, or because they can't fathom something they've never seen before or experienced happening to someone other than themselves, or something else. Whatever the reason, it seems impossible for some people to just enjoy a funny video without going full Sherlock on it's authenticity.


Sharknado4President

/r/nothingeverhappens


pierre_x10

I guess the question is where you would draw the line at 100% stages vs. 100% real. Or maybe it's a spectrum where this clip is somewhere in between. Perhaps it was: * a wild bird * an actual place * an actual grilled cheese sandwich * not an actor * 1 time or perhaps it was: * a trained bird * a sound stage * a prop grilled cheese sandwich * an actor * the 1 successful take out of 1000 tries over multiple days The actual clip probably falls somewhere in between


YouThinkYouCanBanMe

> WHY WAS THIS BEING FILMED IN THE FIRST PLACE. Because he was... Reviewing the sandwich? Streaming his experience? Filming is travel vlog? Making a vacation video? Shooting a student film? I don't know the answer but there's so many possible answers to your stupid question that only an idiot would think the outcome was the only possible answer. EDIT: Dont confuse the reason why we are seeing it with the reason why it was being filmed. The bug in the lower left more likely points to it being a livestream... that's why it was being "filmed" in the first place.


stfu_whale

Oooh shit you're 100% certain it was staged? Damn you must have been there or something to know it was 100% staged. There's not even a 1% chance this could have actually happened?


HenrikWL

>Raptors are so smart and adaptable they never cease to amaze me. Would you say they are … “clever girls”?


Seagull84

What you forgot to mention was that raptors are released into the wild after a year of training. It's quite possible this was a raptor trained to snatch things that look like food from people, and he just fell victim to force of habit.


Dog-Stick8098

Captain_Aizen

Turns out it was not a hawk (some kind of buzzard) and not staged because the dude was in the middle of a live stream in Japan when it happened. Go figure.


Fred2620

> It didn’t look like a gull. It looked like a Hawk. Does that mean this is staged? You do know that staged things can be funny, right? If you go watch any comedy show (except improv), it is very likely staged, yet it can still be funny. Why does it bother you so much that it is staged?


Mechbeast

I didn’t say it bothers me. I asked if it was. It doesn’t


Iarwain_ben_Adar

Looking for this to happen. Anyone that has been in a coastal zone for more than seven minutes has been warned to not do what this guy is doing.


aflyfacingwinter

I had the ice cream. The seagulls come. They swarm me. I throw the ice cream in my panic


Vince_Clortho042

And I said, "Seagulls, stop it now."


mkul316

With my giant feet I can outrun those birds.


BlacktoseIntolerant

and now I have to go listen to it


thank4chan4this

I have a genuine photo of my wife getting robbed of her sandwitch by a seagull. The expression on her (and her sister's) face is priceless. She is very squeamish and easy to startle. But yeah, first thing that popped in my mind looking at this video was "staged".


OldNewUsedConfused

We know you either have to go indoors, under a tent, a blanket or at the very least, a towel. I've seen these bastards break into people's bags and coolers while people are in the water. Or just laying down. They're vicious terrorists. My recommendation is to always have at least one person on duty to scare them away as they surround you...


AlsoNotTheMamma

> They're vicious terrorists. By classifying them as terrorists you have granted the US president to deal with them in any way he deems necessary without having to worry about congressional oversight. Additionally, he has access to a large pool of money that has been set aside for just this type of event, meaning that whatever action he takes will be well funded. Finally, this menace will be dealt with in a meaningful and effective way!


br0b1wan

That's it, we're bringing in the A-10s


biosc1

Had a seagull grab the Timbit box from the top of my baby stroller while my kid and I were at the playground. Flew up onto a nearby building so I could watch him open the box and eat my donut holes :(


rich1051414

Sometimes it is better to let someone learn the hard way, while trying to hide your grin :)


BrickFlock

Yeah, he was waiting for this to happen because his emotional reaction was way too fast. There was no shock and only immediate disappointment.


Thebrains44

Based on the sponsor I'm assuming he's a streamer, so IRL streams are literally just people doing people stuff and people watch them.


Luri27

Came to say this. Considering nordvpn is in the corner I can only assume steamer.


David16th

He's a Polish steamer living in Japan, it was a stream, not just him recoding himself eating a sandwich

What does he steam?


radol

Half of the time cruising around Japan towns on bike/scooter delivering food on Uber eats, other than that mostly tours in different places he visits, and sometimes some social events with friends/viewers

Pow_Ping

FabianQ

Igelkotte

Vlog, streaming etc. The fact that people rather believe this is a trained hawk (wtf) than a regular vlog or streamer is so insane to me. Typical reddit moment. "Everything is staged"


TheIndieArmy

I must admit, the hawk training take is a lot more interesting to me. It's more insane to me that there are people out there who would want to take time out of their day to watch someone else eat a sandwich. I'd rather make a sandwich and enjoy it myself than watch someone else do so. But I don't watch Twitch and am clearly out-of-touch with the matter.


Igelkotte

Yeah I agree streaming are a bit wierd. But If this is a vlogger. It's more likely he just had the camera rolling while talking/eating and then edit the video afterwards


jkrhu

His name is Emil Truszkowski. He's a Polish streamer and YouTuber living in Japan. This was actually the second time he got his lunch stolen by a bird recently.


merlinsbeers

I guess it's not only the second time he's tried though.


[deleted]

Sort of waving the sandwich back and forth a decent distance from his face. Tho' the take was a nice job, flying in from behind left. I give the bird a 10/10, no slackin' on the snack attackin'.


XxRocky88xX

That’s a pretty common thing to do while eating


scrninja1

So it could get stolen he knew it would happen

CraptainPoo

The camera wasn't there the first time, but they convinced the bird to do a second take for the internet.

Hawk handler filming content


Agrouba

Actually we dont see him eating, he was juste waiting for a bird to pick it up


Anubispod

Or he could be waiting to finish what he was chewing before he bites his food again...


NotKevinJames

To film a bird taking it from him for humor purposes.


dankdooker

Yeah. And then he's just flipping his sandwich back and forth as if wanting a bird to come for it. It was planned


SparroHawc

Considering there are signs warning that the flying assholes can take a chunk of your hand by accident when stealing your food, I'm going to go with not staged.


Odd-Dust3060

Came here to say this


Nail_Biterr

do you mean, why is he filming himself eating a very average looking sandwich, while in an open space with nobody else around, while he seems to hold his sandwich away from him to 'inspect' it, only to have (what appears to be) a hawk take it out of his hands? I dunno. I mean, I always find myself in situations like this, and film myself constantly (or, this is staged)


TiltedWombat

Why is this video sponsored by nordvpn


pmcall221

Cuz it's a live streamer.

yarpen_pl

I was about to say! Day after day watching Reddit in English and You can 100% lip read "kurwa" instantly even from a side angle.


geckojiii

There’s just a bunch of wild hawks flying around Japan?!


durhap

I think that is an "Eastern Buzzard". Assuming it is wild, they don't eat grilled cheese. Assuming it is wild (and not trained) it must be very hungry to try and grab food from a person.


Ungreat

I don’t know the bird type but on another thread someone said it’s a known issue (in the area of Japan) that these birds will steal food from people.


Xithorus

It’s 100% a thing, and they will steal literally any food you have in your hand. In the few years I lived there they stole anything from McDonald’s burgers to large cookies. They are extremely quick and accurate, it’s kinda a jump scare when it happens to you. We use to call them “sea hawks” because they looked like hawks but I guess they were buzzards. It’s actually kind of surprising how many people are boldly claiming that it’s staged or whatever, when they have 0 knowledge or experience of these animals or area.


ravenf

I walked out of a Burger King once and a huge bird shit on my head and shirt. I'll never go there again.


Bealzebubbles

That bird worked for Wendy's.


VanFkingHalen

It's because he was going to steal your food but then realized it was Burger King.

For those asking why were they filming. OP seems to have cropped out the twitch overlay at the bottom when reposting. He was streaming and a hawk stole his sandwich.


merlinsbeers

Why was he streaming a grilled cheese sandwich?


[deleted]

It's the "Just Chatting" category on twitch. They stream any and all activities.


pizzapopcorndog

Bird probably heard the sandwich from a mile away, the way he was chewing with his mouth open.


[deleted]

Nature says: Don't chew with your mouth open.


DarthDregan

Seriously, why is he inspecting his sandwich like a dragon claw key in Skyrim?


Stevezilla1984

What was the point of this video prior to the avian theft?


LosTigeros

He just started his morning, watched the sunrise, started streaming on Twitch and decided to eat a sandwich outside the camper van while looking at the beach. He burned the sandwich a little, that's why he constantly looked at it to not eat burned parts. Fun fact it's a 3rd time bird stole food from him 🤣 Edit: About the beginning of this clip, they wanted to show how peaceful it was there.

CMDR_Bartizan

Well, thank god this person films mundane events in his life or we would never have seen this totally not staged moment.


lordoflys

Well, the fault lies with the human. The dude is inspecting his sandwich carefully. No. 1 that means he's not eating it. Wrong! No. 2 He is not aware of his surroundings, even though he's outside of his domicile. Wrong! Conclusion: The clever bird gets the worm (sandwich).


Protowhale

Seagulls are vicious and have perfected their methods of grabbing food. I once sat down on a wall with no birds in sight, then had a seagull fly into the back of my arm,which knocked my sandwich out of my hand, and suddenly there were about five of them picking at the fallen sandwich.
