These cuties were born to dance

Aaaa the Tmberdoodle has soul!💕💕🤩

I love this creature.

Awww my little sweet pretty lovley baby cutoo ❤❤😘😘😄😄😊😊💕💕😍😍

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

This bird dances like Michael Jackson 😂😂😂

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

Gives new meaning to the "funky chicken" ....

Is he suffering from hiccup? 😂

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

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

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

(▫️This bird is my favorite,and it’s so funny how it dance 🪩💃🏽▫️)

Sweet little Angels❤

I'm obsessed with these little ones. Just love them soooo much!! LOL

Lil feller was groovin!

Lv their groove.Everywhere they Go they show their style.♥️😘These little birds are showing us walk with your beautiful groove on.☕️😇

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! 😂

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

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

they're groovin

Groovin' bird

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.

Beautiful birds that dance to their own beat.

Spin that disco ball! So cute!

Love these birds. That’s the way to go ….slow but sure footed, dinners on…get your bugs now……love these guys….👍❤️🙏🏼

Oh yeah 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

beautiful birds

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! “

If you look closely, you will see tiny headphones.

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! ☮️❤🌈🕊🙋‍♀🤗

Thats a bird from the 70’s !

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!

I love these little dancing potatoes.

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

That bird be jammin

i love their eyeballs to beak ratio

Naturaleza perfecta y hermosa. Bendiciones

Through life with music)

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

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

Thanks for this happy video, & thanks also for identifying the music!!! Go 'head on, Timberdoodles!!!💓

Удивительная птица

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

The body is round...

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

Plump Beasts 🥰

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.

🥰 so cute. Love is little sweetheart.

They are so beautiful ❤️

Surfin' birrrrrrrrd!😂🎧

Trop mignon ❤

I saw this going on this morning lololol they have some rhythm

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

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

Howdy. One coool bööd got the rhytym .... Regards.

Bustin a move while keeping head utterly still.

they got rhythm

ماشاء الله

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

It is searching for worms using Doppler effect!

Que coisinha linda. 😎😎😎😎😎

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) .

I think I figured out why the bobbing - if you watch around the 2:10 mark, notice their little claw feet come off and back down to the ground repeatedly [hence the body bobbing with this motion], and then after a bit notice it suddenly plunges down it's long probing beak into the soft soil to I assume catch the prey, which again I assume it has either provoked to movement with its feet probing, or it has found a soft place in the soil that it knows burrowing insects produce. Check it out, see what you think.

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

😄☺️❤️

Michael Jackson should have seen this!😎

❤🥰🥰🥰

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

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

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

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.

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].

Are they feeling for movement under the soil?

Why don't their heads move?

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

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

Burung apa itu

потужний птах

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

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

Jamiroquai if he was a good dancer

Better on the grill

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.

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

What a happy birdie Wish politics have that attitude.
