- Ashlea Dennison, a 25-year-old dentistry student attending the University of the Witwatersrand, in Johannesburg, captured this amazing sighting on the 6 th of April 2019. Ashlea, who was visiting the park with her boyfriend tell us in her own words about this amazing sighting;
BOOK YOUR TRIP TO KRUGER: bit.ly/BookatKr...
“There we were, driving along the H4-2 (The main road coming into the park from Crocodile Bridge) around 11:00 and we took the second sand road on the west side which leads to a dead end with a view of the Gezanftombi waterhole. We saw the birds not far along, on the northern side of the road.
We noticed a number of vultures and some smaller birds around the area, which is why we suspected a kill, or some sort of food source, then we saw the Kori Bustard not far off the road which caused the vultures to fly to the nearby trees. We started to drive further on when we noticed the Secretary bird take flight from a tree close by, we stopped and watched where it would land. When it landed by the area where the Kori bustard was, we reversed the car to see what would happen. As we saw them starting to fight, we decided to video it because we had never seen anything like it before.
We were very excited when we saw this sighting because these birds are both amazing sightings on their own and we have never seen either of them behave in this manner before. After the Secretary bird chased the little birds away at the end of the video, the Kori Bustard and the Secretary bird seemed to mind their own business while remaining in the same area.
This sighting was incredibly rare for us. We have seen both the Secretary bird and the Kori Bustard alone on multiple occasions when we have visited the park, however, we have never seen either of these birds act in an aggressive manner towards any other bird before, or towards any other animal for that matter. These 2 birds always appear to be minding their own business when we see them in the park.
I would’ve loved to see what the cause of the fight was but due to the length of the grass, we couldn’t see what was on the ground. We can only assume that there was an abandoned kill because of the vultures’ present.
I would advise that anyone who is lucky enough to see a sighting such as this, to not interfere and to let nature play out as it would if we weren’t there.”

@@Cassxowary you really just corrected him over this ' if you waste your time doing that i feel bad for how you live your life

No. Naruto is bird running.
I thought the same hahaha this bird is animal fan
FAX
Very cool! I'd love to see the Kori Bustard in flight!
They fly sorta like vultures lol with their long wings spread straight out like one
He seems rather playful, and a little bit of a daredevil. Great video, thanks😍
Never thought I'd witness trolling in the animal kingdom like this
It's a territorial gesture.
I love the secretary bird. For some strange reason its elegant appearance, runway walk remind me of Audrey Hepburn. Told you it was strange.
What a great interaction caught on film!
The secretary bird and its elegant trolling.....magnificent. 👏🧐
dinosaurs are evolving back, change my mind
They already are dinosaurs.
@@incognitodon5779 Yes indeed. :)
More like these were birds that kept some of the most dinosaur-like traits while most other birds evolved away from them
That would’ve held true 5-10 million years ago, what we have now are remnants of them birds who tried evolving back.
gawd damn
after three years,a reply.
have a good rest of your day/night now!
Thanks for sharing Ashlea. Indeed fascinating.
😁Glad you enjoyed the video Annie! I also did.👍👍👍
One of avian nature's most fascinating mating rituals. These birds have a lifespan anywhere up to 50 years, and will often keep the same mate for their entire life! However, not always. The incumbent male must perform his dance every season to keep her impressed, and it's not always the same dance every year. He must always be working on and improving his technique to keep her interest. He hones his craft, much like a topline footballer, chef, or actor would. Every mating season there is always competition for the most fertile females, and this particular male can be seen showing his dominance and scaring off his rivals at 1:16 to ensure his bloodline continues. A fascinating bird for sure!
Tom tonka with human the male must perform everyday
I still like the eagles coz they have only 1 partner in their whole life..kids once every 2 years...
@@jennelynbadiola3871
Many other birds mate for life
What?! Where did you get 50 years from?! The longest a secretary has ever lived was 19 years.
"bro i was just playin, chill"
This is the 2nd time I've seen a bird break someone's ankles the 1st time was watching Larry Bird.
I think i found my new favorite bird
Why are these prehistoric terror birds having a dance-off?
Secretary Bird? More like Trollitary Bird!

The Art of Trolling
Is it just me, or are those some really big ass birds?😁
One is 8 pounds the other is 46
Teasing the other one, nice visual. closer zoom in would be more delight
Beautiful! ❤️
This is lowkey a pokemon battle between two flying types.... with out the flyjng loool.
Nice bird
If someone tells you they don't believe birds evolved from dinosaurs, show them this.
If someone doesnt believe birds come from dinosaurs then they shouldn't even talk about dinosaurs. Literally everyone knows that.
That secretary just want to entertain her boss..
Good video.. But... Could have just named the Kori Bustard in the title instead of "world's heaviest flying bird"...
It’s for educational purposes since people don’t read descriptions anymore.
Rich Harrow also, not everyone knows the name...
does dennison becoming a dentist count as nominative determinism?
They spend most of their time on the ground like Bustards.
I thought the Andean Condor was the heaviest flying bird in the world?
Yes, you thought correctly.
In the Western Hemisphere...
On average, yes. Kori bustard have quite a difference in size between male and female. While male bustard on some individual can surpass condor in size, females are much smaller, thus bringing the mean in size down.
Aí merece like
That Turkey should be happy it's not on the menu.
Kori bustards are with no doubt one of the most amazing of all flight heaviest bird on land and also I love them so much....along with hornbils ans ostriches !❤🤗🤗🤔
This looks like dinosaurs fighting
It's not running, that move is called tactical retreat
So agile
アフリカオオノガンの突進を最小限の動きでかわして獲物を狙おうとしたが、逃げられてしまって狩りに失敗したヘビクイワシ…といったところかな？
Cute dog
They look like dinosaurs
They are.
It's a Blaziken!!
What's the thing chasing it?
It looks like football player after scoring a goal.
wings that doesn`t fly lol
The black and white one in Naruto running
Montenegro 💪😂
She looks like a dragon XD
Swellow??
angry birds ,obviously
Esta chido
Isn't the ostrich the heaviest bird? And biggest?
They are but unlike the kori bustard ostriches can't fly.
They fly allright when you hit them with in a jeep at 60mph.
@@DzinkyDzink or launch them with a giant catapult.
Great job at being anoying😁😁
How
Maybe secretary bird was stealing his lizards!
STAY AND FIGHT
Angry Birds brought me here to see and enjoy this fight!

Biggest Jerks in Nature 😂
Giant bird. Jarassic park is not unreal
Secretary bird looks like a crested eagle on a stork statute!...
Kudos for the video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard about - Rozardner Flying Bird Reality (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good one off guide for how to get pilot license minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my BF at last got amazing success with it.
😨😨😵😵😵
LoL
So one is fibbing. Swans can weigh 24 pounds and they fly a thousand miles. Secretary bird 7 to 8 pounds. Fly 50 ft. So there. lots of birds heavier. But funny any way
They're not talking about the secretary bird. The bird chasing it is the world's heaviest flying bird called a kori bustard. It can weigh up to 42lbs.
Secretary birds can fly much higher then 50 feet.
A cheetah should jump out of nowhere and eat one of them to teach the other bird to never Show Off. Pride cometh before destruction.
No
@@WillowWeiedo If that's what you want then God will have to use them to eat people quote Revelation 19:17-18 quote "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
"
@@H0LDENSUX You know that the bible is just a bunch of stories that, like kids cartoons, gives a moral at the end. The stories are not real.
Edit: i am a Christian
I’m not the only one who see’s these two as friends while watching this.
With hopefully intended benefits!
Top ten best anime fight ever made
I was watching the latest video from a safari channel (Tintswalo virtual safari) and a secretary bird made calls like these. It sounded like a wounded wildebeest. The sound actually fooled both lions and hyenas, drawing them in to investigate. The guide admitted to being fooled by it before too.
Isn't the heaviest flying bird the Great Bustard?
did you guys hear about that big bird that killed that dude in Florida?
Yes that is a cassowary. It's a large flightless bird that has a deadly claw on its foot that it kicks with.
More videos of the Kori bustard please 😍
Secretly of Serengeti
huh ,i thought worlds heaviest flying bird is peacock
A peacock weighs only 13lbs at most, a kori bustard weighs 40lbs.
@Levent A They do though qphl2.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-1e13ef3fe861caf8301e2d1184672c18.webp
@Levent A they do fly just when stoned
@Levent A lol yes they can fly, maybe not great, but it's still considered flying. Unlike say a flying squirrel which glide down and can't ascend.
@Levent A here's a video of a peacock doing more than just gliding from branch to branch. It's ascending and flying pretty far th-cam.com/video/7gxQwm4MWns/w-d-xo.html
Cool
