Many birds flinch right before the impact. Why is this?
I present some evidence – you decide for yourself.
Does the bird see the pellet?
Does he hear the muzzle blast?
Does he hear the pellet whistling?
Can birds see 1/10 second into the future?
All birds shot in this video are “pest species” as defined by the U.S. government. They can be shot at any time of the year.
The majority of the birds in this video were English House Sparrows. The name is a bit misleading – the bird is actually a finch. They are scrappy little farts, and their aggressive nature has made them the most abundant songbird in North America.

Seriously, READ – BEFORE you go shooting your mouth off about things you do not understand. Or, do a Google search on the House Sparrow. It will take you less time than writing a nasty ‘ol comment, and you may just learn a thing or two. Bird enthusiasts and ornithologists are on my side. Put that in your pipe, and smoke it!
“Without question the most deplorable event in the history of American ornithology was the introduction of the English Sparrow.” -W.L. Dawson, The Birds of Ohio, 1903

Chew On This Tshirts http://chewonthis.tv/rates.html Watch Captain Ben Chancey of the “Chew On This” Saltwater Fishing Show battle the largest fish of his life while nearly getting pulled overboard. His rod snaps in two and he has to land the fish by hand. The Goliath he lands is nearly 8 foot long and an estimated 600 pounds.
The government says there’s nothing to worry about — it’s just a problem with bears making trouble in the mountains and forests of Norway. But local hunters don’t believe it — and neither do a trio of college students who want to find out the truth. Armed with a video camera, they trail a mysterious “poacher,” who wants nothing to do with them. However, their persistence lands them straight in the path of the objects of his pursuits: trolls. They soon find themselves documenting every move of this grizzled, unlikely hero — the trollhunter — risking their lives to uncover the secrets of creatures only thought to exist in fairy tales.
