This bird isn't on the move, it's on the groove!
😂😂😂😂
Lol, perfect comment!
Oh no. Now our wildlife is mindlessly dancing.
Yea baby!
Best bird of all time
1:59 imagine having to wait for birds to cross the road and they just start doing this shit lmaoo
Just join in
@kennethcoyle6602 Yes absolutely get down with the 🐦
I'm dying !!
@@kennethcoyle6602😊
❤️😂❤️👍🏻❤️
I was told the reason this occurs is their movements mock rain falling, enticing worms to surface.
So where is the worm coming from,???😂😂😂
@@raquelgarvin8391 under the ground
Wow! Cool, thanks 🙏🏽
@@raquelgarvin8391Lmfaoo😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Clever. Ecology is so amazing.
how everything your parents do is normal, until your first day at bird school
😂😂😂😂
lmaoooo
Well at least they're better that the cheerleader peacock & gay lyrebird fashionistas, and the flamingo & ostrich ballerina rivals & his best friend is a toucan who can't see why the bounce.
They NEVER ARRIVE ANYWHERE ON TIME,
but Have a Great time Getting there!!!
Like me!!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
The way to somewhere is their target.
This comment made my WHOLE Friday night!!! 😂😂
A wise woodcock once said it's not about the destination, it's all about the journey
Yes😊!

This part killed me. The bird on the right's just sitting still, but starts increasingly move to the rhythm as the one on the left comes closer.
rofl I didn't notice this until you pointed it out

*_these little goobers are so skrunkly, and the fact they make little "peent" noises is just my favorite, plus they just vibe while existing_*
PEENT 💀
Fellow Slmccl enjoyer
*meep*
@@samael4550 did he say that?
Omg cute pfp
They're the opposite of pigeons; somehow they move their entire body but keep their heads perfectly still whilst walking.
Pigeons actually keep their head still! They move so fast that they have what looks like that bobbing motion, but in actuality, they stick their head out first, and then the body follows!
Many birds will keep their head in one position then quickly snap it to the next, keep it there until they have to move it to the next position. I believe the reason they do this has to do with their visual processing.
Chickens also keep their head still.
I don't know if you'll ever see this comment but I want you to know that this video brought me immense joy
I saw it. Who can't get joy out of this great creation by our Lord? And what a FABULOUS tune the cinematographer chose!! TEQUILA! Drink responsibly (or not at all if you're allergic☕).MERRY CHRISTMAS AMERICA🎉
@@Lucia-sy7leYou don’t have to bring your personal god into this
Dancing to this in the kitchen!
Me too!
@@soph7230 she can if she wants to. God is awesome😊
The little peep in place of 'tequila' was so funny 😂 these birds are amazing
That was perfect 😂
These birds have definitely been watching too much Monthy Python.
1:18 Researchers have no idea why humans DON’T bob like this.
Many people don’t have rhythm...
🤣🤣😂😂💖💯
Speak for yourself buddy! Every time my kids and I hear Earth, Wind and Fire, we're exactly like this... well, perhaps not quite as funky. 🤣
That is the more important question
I know some people who do.😂
A person simply cannot be unhappy looking at this.
You sure about that? My depression can melt steel beams 😎
@@SMFN_ElseTimberdoodles are stronger than steel.
Are you Chuck Norris 😂@@SMFN_Else
The tiny chicks doing it, too, are so cute! I had heard of woodcocks before but knew nothing of their "dancing." Good piece to use for the clip.
I would watch so many nature documentaries in this style, thank you for this gem.
Great idea!
This reminds me of old youtube ❤ I love when people appreciate the small things in life that make up the wonder and beauty of the world
Amen ❤
Amen❤❤❤well spoken❤❤❤
I was thinking the same thing, it looks like something made in like 2005 by a highschool kid, i love it 😂
Amen 😃🩷😃
Fr
the fact even the babies dance omg so cute!!!! 💖
Woodcoks don't dance, they boogie!!😎
more like bobb'n
😂😂😂
Kinda makes you wonder, if they were raised by parents different than woodcocks. Would they still be bop? Is it just something that they learn it from the mom n dad?
wow...just wow. 🙄
I just had a long hard day working in ED. This video and these groovy little birds just soothed my soul. You can't help but smile and want to do their dance. Thank you xxx
They alternate between unison and syncopation, but they're always in time.
Amazing how their head stays completely stationary while their body is groovin.
That's because they don't hear Heavy Metal music.
😂😂😂
They're listening for the movements of their next meal.
It's so hilarious and intriguing, like the bird itself lol
I'd never heard of them before, but now I love them.
Almost all groovy birbs do this!
There are several researchers who have advanced plausible theories for why the woodcock walks like this. B. H. Christy suggested they are "worm charming" as a hunting mechanism as early as 1931.
nerd
That's what they "dance" for. And their long beaks are made for probing. Great design I'd say ☺️✌️
@@revelationakagoldeneagle8045 Pretty wild what evolution can accomplish, for sure.
BF skinner said it was because they are mental.
That's how God made them!!🥰🥰🪶🪶🙏🙏😇😇
That just made me smile 🙂. We need more videos like this in these dark times. Made my day 👍🙂
5:00 am and can’t sleep from severe pain from domestic violence and healing from two more spine surgeries and having a weepy long night but those adorable birds made me smile ! Thank you I am so happy I clicked on it. Hugs to all
Pheonixrose 🙏🏼🌸🍃 your comment reminded me of my distant past. Prayers for your complete healing and new paths of great peace. Beauty for Ashes.
@@YosemiteLee thank you so much and I’m so very sorry you experienced such violence. It’s heartbreaking. I’ve had 3 spine surgeries in the last 3 years. Two traumatic brain injuries. Head to foot injuries and permanent including partially paralyzed vocal cords from being strangled twice June 21,2018. He got away with attempted murder sadly and didn’t just 5 months in jail out of a 9 month sentence. Awful DA to charge so lightly . But just recently saw he’s doing Tik tok videos because he’s a relationship expert and marriage too ! 🤦♀️😱🤢🤮🤬Self proclaimed pastor who uses Jesus and quoting bible scripture to draw people in to adore him. Sad because he is so violent. Was a licensed counselor! Odie Anderson Samaritan Coaching. Beat strangled raped and more his own wife and while he’s being adored I’m suffering in pain. It’s not fair. My kids told me he harmed them too but they were afraid to tell me . Life is precious and I know I’m blessed to be alive and I enjoy the simplest things like this video. I find it challenging to deal with the amount of pain because the neurosurgeon and neurologist said it’s all permanent and I have to learn how to deal with the pain the rest of my life but that’s easier said than done. One thing I use as a distraction is cute videos and pray a lot. I enjoy listening to the birds singing and watching them splash and drink from the bird bath in my yard. I haven’t posted in a while but I tried to put more happy videos in hopes that victims can see if I made it that they can too but sometimes I think maybe showing the reality is better like you’ll have good days and bad days if good moments and bad. Recently I’ve felt tired vulnerable to post but I have so many video on my cell. I just need to muster up the courage to start posting again. One thing that drives me crazy is when people say You don’t look like a victim of domestic violence. What does that look like though ? A victim shouldn’t have to be covered in blood. Brain injuries are hidden but real. My clothes cover my abdominal and back scars but they are real. PTSD is not seen but real. Kindness is free and I wish more people were like you. Thank you. Maybe if you click the P it might take you to some of my videos I made to bring awareness for Partial Strangulation. I never heard of it until I was diagnosed 5 1/2 years ago. Gods blessings
If all humans would walk like this, we'd live in a better world!
No time to quarrel, no time to fight, no time to organise a war bcos too busy being happily bouncing
Definitely.
So much to learn from other animals and each other.
Let’s face it, most of us couldn’t walk like that if someone paid us.
It would certainly make police body cams more entertaining! And Ferris wheels!

Makes an Old Man from Canada Smile under my pain Thank You for putting it on here

You made a young-er woman smile whilst in her pain just knowing this made you smile, too. Cheers ❤
We can't refuse the pain but we can refuse the suffering. We are happy
Canada is a painful place to live
Imagine u have to stop ur car and wait for these birds to cross the street with their "super efficient" way of walking.
My first thought was they were testing the firmness of the ground with each step, but then I went with the FUN reason: they were feeling the rhythm of life.
Boss: "Why are you late for work again!? And it better not be because 'The woodcocks are crossing the street again' or you're fired!"
Me: **Gulps, sweats nervously watching the woodcocks shimmy majestically across road in front of car**
I'm an Australian senior , bird watcher, and have never seen a woodcock, but loved this video. Looks like me starting out in the morning. ❤
Come to the US some time, they are here.🥰
😂😅😊
😂 😂😂😂
😄😆
Don't lose that pep in your step, Prudence!
Funky borb gettin' jiggy with it
0:52 1:35 OMIGOSH THE SOUND 🥺😭
And the song is a bop. No wonder the woodcocks are dancing 🕺🐦🕺🐦
Made this old woman smile and chuckle. Honest laughter is priceless.
They are protected from predators by making them stop in disbelief. Cheerful video!👍
😂😂😂
And then they join in.
😃🤣😂
😂🤣😂
Maybe the predators think they have rabies or something else wrong with them and decide not to eat them? 🤷🏾♀️
Little dudes are the embodiment of vibin'
This song is the only song that should be played when watching these birds 🤣
I hate zoomers so fucking much...
Those little critters are so darn adorable!!!
Wouldn't it be cool to live in a place with lots of them strutting around. Gorgeous!
Love how the little ones are learning to get their groove on!
Those babies are learning right along with Mama! Listening for small invertebrates and crustaceans in the mud.
be sure to loop this video to all human infants
but why are they also doing it on the asphalt road? maybe they just don't realize the difference
@@cappystrano1no! they are dancing!
No
@@Blackadder75They know the difference they're just having fun dancing 🕺
the babies following along :'((( they're so cute!
They are mindfully walking-one step with every breath.
I swear if my daughter was a bird this would be her and how she raises her kids. They are all just as crazy as she is. I love her so much!!!!!!’
Your daughter sounds like a barrel of fun. I wish her well.

Put together perfectly, is it?
Indeed!😂
Parece que estão dançando funk....fron BRAZIL.
@@thomasmleahy6218 No, so perfect(ly) put together.
Oh my word, that was adorable 😍
I just want you to know that I have shown this to everyone in my family and at work and they always have a delighted smile and laugh and love it. Your video and these silly birds bring so much joy ❤️
Edit: Half my ICU where I work now demonstrates The Hokumpoke Walk whenever they see me because they all loved the video so much 😂
This video brought a huge smile to my face! Love seeing the babies doing the “bob” along with mom. 😊😁☺️😊

It moves like a pigeon from a parralel universe.
My heart immediately got lighter! Thank you
Who ever says bird watching is boring has never been bird watching. These little guys could stop interstate traffic with those moves 😍😊
Birds are WONDERFULLY diverse! So many shapes, colors and sizes. Their songs put music in the air. Please protect them!
Do you know the "tailorbird"?
Talk about "wonderfully diverse"!
Give us a 10 thoasand dollars each please and thank you
@WoodCock76 every single bird deserves 10'000 dollars for sure. It's the least we could do for them.
This is exactly the video I needed. Wow thank you! I love these birds now too!
Even the chicks were following the dance, that's amazing❤
I love the music that fits perfectly their way of walking. Good job ❤
Especially when they synch-ed up and were bobbing in unison, right behind mom.
"Tequila" by the Champs~ 1958. I used to 'dance' to it in my crib! 😂
@@bonniemoerdyk9809 Thanks 😊
This is cracking me up - now if we can get someone to sing the hokey-pokey lyrics with it...Put your whole self in, take your whole self out. Put your whole self in, and you shake it all a-bout..
@@wright952 very good idea 👍
I am amazed by this bird’s ability to sing one of the most difficult song known to mankind in such ease
With such ease?

@@mortalclown3812oh no, an opportunity to improve oneself, what a disgrace!
Ya, but there's ONLY ONE word in this song!!!!!
More rhythm than 99.99999999% of all dancers.
Oh my goodness THANK YOU☺️ this video made me smile & giggle for the FULL 2 minutes !! I LOVE watching birds🐦🕊️ whether it's in real life or on the internet. ESPECIALLY little birds🐦 🕊️ They are just so amazing !! Thank you again !! I hope you have a wonderfully happy 😁 & delightful day !!
That meep is too cute! ❤
And perfectly timed! This channel is really living up to its name.
I've always been a bird person. These guys ar absolutely adorbale!
"Does it do the stepping thing?"
*clicks on video*
"Yes."
Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder . . . "That's right. We bad."
It seems like it takes them forever to get somewhere, the little babies doing that crazy walk was so cute
Before I saw them move, I wondered why they're your favourite bird. Now I understand, and they're mine too now. Most dedicated break-dancers ever!. And I can't handle how funny and cute the babies are!
They've got the opposite groove from the pigeon, whose head moves back and forth😅😂 but the body stays quiet❤
I agree wholeheartedly, these lil guys have stolen my heart!
The birds are so precious with their little dance and the music was fitting lol😃🎉👍🏽
They're literally one of the cutest birds on earth- *LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE DANCE 😭😭❤*
Thank you dear soul for this slice of badly needed joy.
Never seen a woodcock before but TH-cam been bombarding me with woodcock video suggestions for some reason and yours was the one i finally watched. Interesting bird ig. Nice edit. Thanks for showing me woodcocks.
I freaking love this bird! You just got a new subscribed!
I, too, absolutely love the majestic Timberdoodle. The chicks dancing with the adults are absurdly cute. ❤😂😊
Chicks: Mom why do we do this?
Mom: Don't ask such silly questions!
As in their name implies they usually are walking through a bog. They are testing their steps to be sure it is safe and secure. Adorable!
Funny I’ve not known about this bird until today 5/08/24 and I can’t stop watching enough of it. Thanks for yours one of the best compilations I’ve seen.
Best video on the American woodcock I’ve ever seen. Love the babies!
Supercute
You're the only one to give this bird a name; thank you it's "bécasse" in French and this what i thought
I'm watching this right in the middle of coverage of the war between Israel and Hamas (and hoping Iran doesn't jump in...) and I am LAUGHING OUT LOUD IN MY OFFICE BY MYSELF!!!!! Bless you for this wonderful moment in a crazy life ❤
Honest question, not trying to be suggestive. Does watching the news benefit you in any way or does it just fuel your anxiety? I've personally found that nothing the news reports is within my control anyway, and these days they make a whole show out of speculation. "This has happened. We spoke to a random 'expert' to hear more about what might happen next". Then the next day something else happens and the story repeats. More experts, more speculation. Personally I haven't read the news in a year and I've never been happier. If anything affects me directly, it'll reach me through other ways. But almost everyone else I speak to appears to have a strong urge to watch the news and I struggle to understand why. Thanks!
@@EctoMorpheusI completely understand where you're coming from, especially since the news tries to withhold the nasty details as well. I think it's to keep ourselves aware as much as possible, and a sort of morbid curiosity if you will.
@@EctoMorpheusThat is a solid statement and one I've been trying to convey in my own home for several years now. I appreciate your words immensely. God bless.
@@EctoMorpheus Don't know about others' motivations, but I have always wanted to live my life being ready for anything. It makes me feel secure. So I watch news so that I know what to plant in my garden, for instance, in case there's a flood or freeze that destroys the corn crop for that year. I watch the news so I can prepare for a harsh winter, for instance, by making sure I have enough wood for my stove so I will be comfortable and not suffer shivering all winter. So when I feel secure, I can spend more carefree hours sitting on my porch listening to the birds, having fun lunching with a friend, volunteering with a charitable organization or church group, cleaning brush and mowing the grass for an elderly person, just to name a few of the benefits of my feeling secure. I also can sing to the Lord all day long, because I know I have done what I can and I can leave all the rest of my cares and difficulties to Him. You mention you struggle to understand why people have a strong urge to watch/read the news. I would just say to you, if you don't feel the same urge and you are more happy not learning the news, you just trust yourself and be happy! More power to you! You have a special gift, I think ❤
What a beautiful comment thread
LOL I love this video! (Great choice of music, btw.) Those birds are hilarious! (And so adorable!) Anyhow, I am told that they're creating vibrations to attract worms. These vibrations trick the worms into thinking it's raining, kind of like when people grunt for worms by sending vibrations into the ground.
Got a song stuck in their head! Boogie on.....sweet birds...Thank you for sharing.
The one with the babies…mom teaching her little ones. Love it and could put a smile on the most sour face.
European Woodcock are migratory and fly from Siberia to the West of Ireland. They have a pin feather at the first joint in each wing which was frequently used by some of histories most famous artists.
When they take off they empty their bowels completely to make them lighter for flight. Unusually they can carry their youn while flying.
They have binocular vision for about 20 degrees in front and 11 degrees behind. The European woodcock looks longer than its American cousin, an altogether fascinating bird.
Thank you for that.
Do they also know how to party?
Por lo que dice usted tiene que ser Ornitólogo, gracias por tan buena información.👌👍
@@hopefullyhighdid you watch this 😂
Amazing!
they gave this bird the best possible list of names imaginable
I think showing your child to make sure the ground is stable enough to walk on, is the perfect parent!
Researchers also dont know why I dance like crazy. Doesnt stop me
Better than Elaine on Seinfeld?
@@thomasmleahy6218 Just going chaotic in rythm. Can do coreography, if teached, but expressing yourself freely is more fun especially arround people that also just dont care.
lying in bed after a day of crappy pregnancy sickness… didn’t hesitate to click when i saw woodcocks in my feed and am i glad i did. i love them and they make me smile
I'm sorry you've been ill.
Hope you're feeling better, and that your pregnancy goes well 💕💐🐦
Love from Oslo,

0:51 Nice edit with the “meep!” 😂
Whenever I see a picture of a bird I have to smile or in case of a video, immediately click it. It brings such joy.
I love hearing this "old" instrumental, TEQUILA; it's perfect for these cool little boppers!👏💐💕🙋
This little bird doing the Pee-wee Herman tequila dance made me laugh and feel so warm at heart that peewee still lives. Miss you buddy thank you for posting this amazing little bird I would love to see one in real life.
Pee-wee was a pedo.
I heard PEENT, and have been compulsed to watch every Woodcock video in my recommended page!
THANK YOU! this lifted my heart 💖
THANK YOU FOR THIS...as an old brokedown PTSD-riddled military veteran, sometimes it's difficult for me to laugh. THIS made me laugh, & I really appreciate the posting.
Thanks again, & God bless.
even the little ones are doing it!!!
I've seen these birds only twice, despite ALWAYS being outside and their commonness in most of the areas where I do my 'outsiding'. One was sitting, stock-still and AMAZINGLY camouflaged, on our farm property in southeastern OH. I could've walked past a thousand times and never seen it, but I was watching a juvenile black ratsnake and it was headed its way (dunno if they nest on the ground, but if so I bet it was a nesting female, as ratsnakes LOVE birds/baby birds/sometimes eggs). I caught the snake, took it somewhere else, and never disturbed the bird. Another time I saw two 'dancing' across a trail in Cooper's Rock state park in WV, took them like 10 minutes, haha! So cool.
I misclicked on this and I’m so glad I did
I love when they synchronize 🤗
Got that inborn sense of rhythm.
We would all be happier if we could just Boogie through life like those birds! They are beautiful inside and out! Love them. Thanks for posting. Made me smile big time!
I take it you haven't witnessed their mating flight ? They do this mainly at dusk . The male will fly straight up 100 yards or so wings whistling the whole way up ! Then he tumbles most of the way down ! squeaking and squawking as he's doing it ! Then he lands pretty much in the same place he took off from . Then you'll hear a Reet ,Reet sound for awhile . I guess it's to let any hens that may of saw the show to find him ? Hell do this many times ! Usually this takes place in late March and early April here in the northeast .
They behave like they live (or originally lived) in swamps, walking from a clump of vegetation firm enough to another.
Those two Woodcocks just accomplished a feat that Possums and a lot of people in Portland, OR cannot do. That being crossing the street.
You got a point there.
Quite a trick! Paralyze the traffic with laughter and proceed at your leisure. It's a gift.
As a Woodcock Legend once said: "If you can't escape your predators simply mesmerize them with a dance. 100% proven efficiency. Satisfied or refunded."
