American Woodcock Dancing in New York City | Timberdoodle in Bryant Park in Early Spring

[@smujer1]

These cuties were born to dance

[@monicapushkin3274]

If you look closely, you will see tiny headphones.

[@pinkcats7533]

A tiny set of beats lol

[@pbuasri2023]

Now​ I​ know​ what​ inspired​ Michael Jackson to​ create​ his dancing​ style.

[@williamheywood9115]

This bird is so cute, we have a type of woodcock in the UK ,but I have never caught them dancing. There is also another bird to check out, the red capped manequin that moon walks.

[@JanetTuttle-cb3xx]

Just love these birds, nature's gift.

[@sarahivsutterb747]

Get the groove - get the move - walk around - with a good sound - shake your hip - that's a good tip - jump around - with that groovy sound! - Have all together a wonderful and peaceful day and enjoy your time with your family and friends and be lucky and happy together! Love you all! ☮️❤🌈🕊🙋‍♀🤗

[@njagijulius1794]

Beautiful birds. I believe they have sensors on their feet and toes to enable detect movement or presence of bugs in the soil. so the dance beautiful as it is is a means of probing for food.

[@mlbrooks4066]

Could be but the Audubon Society says that’s only a possibility, no one is sure why they do it. They do it on paved roads too and they’re not getting any insect movement under that surface. I think they just groove thru life like we wish we could.

[@marisims3497]

Aaaa the Tmberdoodle has soul!💕💕🤩

[@richardlippincott8881]

OMG. I love these birds. They exude confidence and attitude. Why do they do that walk though?

[@EpochSonder]

They’re trying to summon ✨w o r m s✨

[@groovywoodcock]

[@JnannathBasumatary-lw3yr]

What a hilarious movement? Watchable & enjoyable. Why do they act this way ?

[@eugenepohjola258]

I'd love mmm to have a family of these birds in my yard!

[@usrm-wm1osbr5v]

This bird dances like Michael Jackson 😂😂😂

[@doriewoodward7608]

[@martachtman1285]

Fantastic- such extravagant birds in the middle of NYC is one thing - but their fab funky dance can`t be topped - great choice of funky beats, too!

[@monicapushkin3274]

These birds and their dance give me faith in the universe !!

[@ItsMefromSnuffys]

Give God the glory, He created all universe

[@jintanasanguanchua2933]

I love this creature.

[@winniecash1654]

🥰 so cute. Love is little sweetheart.

[@JanBanJoovi-ol1qv]

Still way more talent and more entertaining than any Taylor Swift concert

[@Stroudtucson]

Spin that disco ball! So cute!

[@Questor-ky2fv]

While watching, I wondered how the males would compete for the females. And then I realized that instead of fighting, they would show off their moves in a dance competition! 😂

[@pinkcats7533]

Lil feller was groovin!

[@StarSailor1343]

Gasp. I have never heard the nickname "timberdoodles" for these birds before. Hell yes

[@tipapornmeeklinhom6406]

เจ้านกตัวน้อย ช่างสวยงามและน่ารัก

[@janowens2212]

[@grandmasterofthrow6238]

Plump Beasts 🥰

[@Manveru1986]

The body is round...

[@aporue5893]

love watching these little birds dance it's so cute🐦🎶🎶💞

[@AlexHom-rd2os]

Они очень мягкие и сексуальные птицы.... однако...

[@MarcosDepoli]

SÓ DEUS PARA FAZER UMA COISINHA DESSA. 😂 LINDO, BAURU SP 🇧🇷

[@danieljosephdelta44semperfi]

Amen thank you that makes two of us that give God the glory

[@johnCjr4671]

Thats a bird from the 70’s !

[@kiatan300]

Michael Jackson should have seen this!😎

[@devloader6715]

😂

[@終義始情]

Perhaps this bird acts to find earthworms in the ground. If the leaves are properly piled up, it will be a good environment for earthworms to live in. It is a beautiful bird, precious video, and comfortable music.

[@anitacoogan4822]

Cool a few happy Woodcocks! A Friend & I rescue birds(mostly Warblers)that hit the glass skyscraper in Newark NJ during migration. The Raptor Trust TRT made a video of birds we bring in named 'Window Strikes in the Business District' of us collecting the injured warblers ( too long). 85% of Warblers make a recovery. No Woodcocks in video, Woodcocks do not have a good survival rate in Newark; last year we brought in 20 WC only 12 survived to be released. Newark is not good for Woodcocks as just this week saw a dozen expired due to the Glass Skyscrapers ( no big parks just the Glass), did bring one WS into TRT a few days ago it is still recovering ( they give you admit numbers can check status online - his number is 22-162 was in real bad shape surprised it was not DOA as found bloody on his back barely breathing) .

[@0909GC]

So sad😢

[@hong-ruwang6708]

they're groovin

[@paulinamunoz218]

Naturaleza perfecta y hermosa. Bendiciones

[@adreanaclaudeus2316]

❤❤❤

[@robworrall1291]

Best woodcock video I've seen yet. The color feathers is nice&your videography skills are comendablr❤❤! Thx

[@brass427]

I like the Grateful Dead one, too.

[@sandraletsche7236]

❤ very cute and funky.x👍👍

[@daisuki-ns8oy]

Do they search for food underground by stomping on the ground? Very interesting movement!☺

[@elizabethhenning778]

That's one theory, but we don't know. Maybe they just dig getting down.

[@user-wg5ul6ib4e]

yes, worms

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

I would believe the "dance" would have something to do with sensitizing the bird's feet in order to have a better "feel" for underground grubs, earth worms and such.

[@battery_wattage]

It’s a theory but not well supported. They still do the dance walk when walking over hard surfaces or ice, and they are intelligent enough to know that food can’t be found on those surfaces.

[@zemaria-fc4oi]

😂❤

[@groovyroses]

Beautiful birds that dance to their own beat.

[@christine.m.b.2026]

😄☺️❤️

[@ericbitzer5247]

Their heads remain perfectly still. Kinda the opposite of a chicken.

[@dawn-gk2tr]

It is incredible the way their heads remain stable whilst their bodies bop.

[@aircraftcarrierwo-class]

I love these little dancing potatoes.

[@badgerp-chanqueen7707]

Groovin' bird

[@منصوربنسالم-ز4د]

ماشاء الله

[@littlejoe9381]

The bird said, “Y’all don’t know nothin’ ‘bout this! This is how we get down in my family! Let me teach you. Come on now! Yeah! Whoo! “

[@tracygibson5971]

They are so beautiful ❤️

[@selmancelebi2507]

It is searching for worms using Doppler effect!

[@jamesmlodynia8757]

The bird jitter bugs like some of the brothers...WORD!

[@КонстантинСергеевич-ш6с]

Through life with music)

[@BellaCroyda]

Must have been migrating. There is no water in Bryant Park. There are TONS of people all over the place.

[@rolandrenner757]

. . . Here comes the Hotsteppa . . .😅😅😅😊😊😊😊

[@milkchan202]

i love their eyeballs to beak ratio

[@セシウム-p1y]

Why don't their heads move?

[@ericbitzer5247]

I love their meep! I didn't get to hear them meep!

[@deemelton6925]

Sweet little Angels❤

[@UncleYOURUNCLEUNCLE]

Jamiroquai if he was a good dancer

[@WkdWnch007]

People say Snipe don't exist and now they are all over the internet!!! ❤

[@indridcold8433]

People also say Elvis is dead. We all know that is fake as well. If he is dead, then why is the peanut butter and banana sandwich always reemerging out of obscurity? Elvis is planting them around to keep them going!

[@tomhorsley6566]

What the heck are all the specks of blue? Is there a blue flower that grows around there, or did someone dump a bag of blue confetti? [Update: found web pages that tell me Bryant Park has Hyacinth growing - I suspect that's what the blue is].

[@ВеселийКовач]

потужний птах

❤🥰🥰🥰

[@anagezi5527]

Surfin' birrrrrrrrd!😂🎧

[@samueldeproencacamargo1038]

Que coisinha linda. 😎😎😎😎😎

[@stellarsjay1773]

Bustin a move while keeping head utterly still.

[@tomdallas3690]

I'd like to find at least one of these videos without the music.

[@BettyLewis-b4o]

Walker Jose Martin Patricia Lewis Jason

[@davidandmarytaylor5594]

Are they feeling for movement under the soil?

[@ekoharyanto1060]

Kalau orang yg berjalanya seperti burung ini, biasanya orang yg ingin ngintip.

[@Justin_Samim]

This music was created for this .. dancing moves only 🤣😂🤣

[@RickySmith-zi5cz]

God bless all, Israel and the animals in Jesus name, amen.

[@PeterFraser-hp3rs]

[@munawarbaru467]

Burung apa itu

[@christine.m.b.2026]

Erdei szalonka.

[@jamestodd9189]

Better on the grill

[@indridcold8433]

I do not like their species name. The 1970's porn music just makes the name of the species even worse, even more disturbing, even more sexy! Here comes the gardener to tell the lonely housewife that she has a severe problem with crabgrass.

[@korea.festival]

Thank you for your hard work in making the video. I enjoyed the good video. Have a happy day.

[@irwintatyana9066]

What a happy birdie Wish politics have that attitude.
