Kite Attack

- Mississippi kites will swoop aggressively to defend their nesting territories. This spells trouble, since they like to nest in city parks, golf courses, and other high-traffic human areas. Check out this fascinating, if not scary, slow-motion look at an attacking kite.

Getting thumped by a kite feels similar to being hit on the head by a bean sack
Was it fun experiencing that?
I saw one of these yesterday for the first time. Impressive bird and before I knew it's name I was intrigued by the way it flew. It stopped at a tree above my head and it let me observe him for a couple of minutes. Definitely made my day. I enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing!
I have a pair that hang out in the field behind my house here in Texas. They are beautiful and I've been trying to research them. One of them has stayed still enough to let me film and take pictures several times. I think it's just as fascinated by me as I am of it. 😅
U cant
I've got loads of hawks, osprey and even vultures in my vicinity, often seen riding thermals. The Mississippi Kites are easily the most aerodynamic of the lot and seem able to articulate parts of their wings like ailerons. I've seen them on a glide using only their tails as rudders, quickly shifting to maintain their path as their extended wings caught the air.
Kites are EASILY the most fearless Birds of Prey on Earth,.
At a distance they look like small bald eagles, due to their light colored head. We have a few around here now (Summerton SC) and they are fun to watch.
Ahh a kite is trying to attack me several times and it's irritating it's not letting me to go to my own house terrace please help 🙏
Me too man hope now you can go
How did y'all get rid of it?
Exactly...the same situationis happening with me
Gosh. The feeling of getting attack by a kite bird, scares me. Especially during nesting season.
There’s tons of them nesting in Enid, Oklahoma it’s been rough here recently
I saw one at Chisholm Nature Trail in Wichita yesterday, but he must have been away from the nest because he was not worried about me at all and I was filming him right below. Thank you for the video!
I've been swooped at quite a few times while running here near Dallas, Tx. Good to know that they leave after a few months! I was watching 3 of them along with a red shouldered hawk playfully flying over me while mowing the lawn this morning.
Wow! they really come that close.. All I need is net and I can bring them home for myself lol
Really cool!
I had my chickens out today and I was really worried that they were going to attack and try to snatch one. They looked so fast and intimidating. The way they flew made me nervous and somehow looked threatening, but it turns out they're just show-offs. LoL.
Thankfully, as far as my research goes, they don't appear to be a threat to large chickens. I do have small bantams though I'll be sure to supervise just in case.
I guess when I see them I'll take the time to enjoy them then. They are impressive fliers indeed!
And they had the most interesting call that had me scratching my head. I had to figure out what this interesting bird was. I figured a kite or osprey, but the kites I've seen have a forked-tail (swallowtail kites) and the images I've seen of ospreys didn't look quite right. So, now I know it's the mississippi kite. Nice!
Well done - great footage!
This past summer, I had a pair of these nesting near my house. I never got close enough to get dive-bombed. They were rather elusive.
This is top notch footage. Love it. Good Job Mike Blair.
Such beautiful birds. I absolutely love Raptors as they are the best flyers, very acrobatic, and very majestic. The Red-tails are my favorite here in Kansas, despite them being the most common Raptor in North America, they are still very beautiful and amazing to watch.
Was watching a kite yesterday at Beaconsfield service station. If you park up on the car park there you will see them hovering over the car park. What a sight they are too !
wonderful capture. and the bird is stunning.
amazing video!!
Those brave little kites!
My 5 year old son asked to learn about kites today, and we were so excited to see this was in Pratt! We live in Hutchinson. Great video!
i write kite practical give me please kite bird general characters
i learn bsc 2 nd year
one made a nest in my frontyard across the street its so cool!
Funny how they're too scared to actually attack so they just try to scare you away lol Southern Lapwings do the same
I learn this in school now😊
Amazing！I have one of these on my neighbor's tree lately. Such a treat to watch them fly。
I've seen a similar bird here in Northeast Kansas but it's winter now and he said they migrate. Has anybody seen a kite hanging around in Kansas year round, or maybe know of a similar bird?
Kansas gets them some, but Oklahoma around Enid and Woodward get them a lot
What if the Kites those types of birds come to Confederation Drive where the apartment is behind the trees so they can make a nest as a bird family in Confederation that's in Saskatoon
How big are kites? Can I have them as pets?
I saw three kites yesterday. It was a good day.
I was attacked by a bald eagle at a camp site...I already had an eagle phobia..now I have a reason for it!!! 😖😖😖 Great video
A kite bird sits on our terrace above the water tanks daily.. And it doesn't like when we go on terrace. It tries to attack us with its wings and claws. It has touched me for 3 to 4 times... I just want to get rid of it!!!.. Please suggest me some idea.
How did you get rid of it?
@@stitipadhy6972 Nothing, we just didn't go to the terrace for few months. And then they didn't do anything, although they stare at us and fly around but dont attack us.
@@Chill_life_always Good for you. Here it is impossible to avoid them as we need to use the pathway to move in and out of the house. Also, I think now they are no more just parents protecting their kids, they have started attacking us without any reason. If it's okay with you, can you please tell me if there has been any negative incidents in your or your family's lives ever since they started living near you, my mom is really worried due to people saying that Kites living near your house can cause death or downfall in the family??? Please.
@@stitipadhy6972 I don't think they can cause that much harm to anyone. They are just trying to scare us with their claws thinking it's thier territory. I recommend you take a stick in your hand and hold it in a way so that it's at least 2 feet above ur head. Like this they don't try to attack u. But don't use stick to scare them, just as ur protection. This will do.Or you can wear an attractive Color cap.
@@Chill_life_always Thanks for the suggestions! UK what yesterday they almost ripped off our neighbour's skull and he had to get stitches. They have been attacking all the elderly in our family and the little kids in the neighbourhood every now and then. Today morning, two of them came so close to my face, I could literally feel their claws on my face. Had I not rushed into the safety of my house, I am sure they would have ripped off my skin as well. They usually tried to scare us earlier but nowadays they are searching for ways to attack, trust me! Idk what went wrong here. The authorities here are scared too so they aren't going to take any measures for sure. We've decided to carry umbrellas for now. I hope we find a permanent solution to this. About the superstition part, do you think it's true? Do they actually bring the downfall of the house they reside in? Ik it's superstitious, but tough times as these are making me really worried.
Ok I understand, but can anyone let me know if they really recognize someone and consider them as intruder?
I survived these similar attacks many times within last 10 days and today I saw it as near as in the video. I don't want to kill it because they might be surely having chicks in their nest.
Surprisingly it doesn't attack my wife or my child neither my father whenever we go on the rooftop but only Me .
Any suggestions?
I have some today swoop at me and my daughter several times as we’ve walked out our front door
How did y'all get rid of it?
It's illegal to kill a native bird species, or to disturb an active nest of one. So there's that
Badass
Great video!
Ravens do full.body rolls. Also

Great video!!’
NICE
I am actually taking care of one right now, it's a juvenile
Kycen Petersen did you release it
@@charliepeters7122 ah, never thought I would remember this. In short, no. It died while we were talking care of it. I was really sad, we really wanted to release it the upcoming migration season but it got sick for the second time and didn't make it.
Kycen Petersen sorry to hear that, I’m sure you gave him/her a lot more hope than in the wild
Do you know how to get rid of them? They have built a nest on a tree in our house and now they are attacking everyone in the neighbourhood, irrespective of the proximity to the nest. They've made our lives a living hell. Please help.
beautiful kites
my friend and her husband are being dive bombed by these birds right now. told her i would research them. really love the fresh beat you dropped at 1:48! thanks...
How did they get rid of those kites?
Your very lucky to be brushed by tail feathers and get such great shots of this magnificent flyer. I myself had the pleasure of watching a rare pair of Red English Kites doing an aerial ballet today, it was poetry in motion. :-) welldone good sir. Your welcome.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅
you made the video unbearable by adding the back ground music
Just saw 5 of these marvelous creatures soaring overhead in SC this morning.
Great video! Thanks for sharing it.
I was attacked by one today
At the back of my head 😂😭
IT is not a black Kite sorry
I got thumped today. It was funny.
Nice, but I think that goading the bird into diving ten times is too many. If stressed enough, birds may abandon the next. Next time, take it easier. Nice job capturing the barrel roll.
They only nest in Kansas my ass
I live in Kolkata and I can spot kites very very easily
I got hit in the back of the head by one today. killed the bird and hurt pretty bad. I've been bombed several times before but they've always swooped up before making contact. I'm taking an umbrella with me tomorrow.
How did you kill
@@motod1866 the bird ran into them
Just got attacked it felt like someone punched me
That Kite ain't got nothin' on this Peregrine Falcon that exited a dive with a barrel roll. This guy was cheeky!
