Threat display of vanellus miles. Masked lapwing and/or spur winged plover. Volume alert VERY NOISEY 

Angry digital alarm clock

I hope my document prints nicely this time. I hate wasting ink.

The bird looks like a superhero wearing a mask with a couple of daggers on his wings. First time seeing this weird looking bird. Thank you for sharing! Amazing.

I will never forget a very sad story involving this bird (only read if you are ready to be sad): Was staying on a campground and woke up midnight from the call of this bird, who just wouldn't stop. I went there to check. It was a bird mother and her chicks fell into the gutter. I lifted the gutter under the attack of the mother and tried to get them out but they went deep into the pipe, I waited hoping they would come out but they didn't, other people had a look as well, no solution was found, no hero story that day, just a bird mom calling for hours until it was eeriily quiet in the morning :'( Still makes me sad today and always remember, when I hear that call

The Wolverine of the Bird Kingdom.

That’s a Pokémon

he looks like hes about to go fight crime

I’m concerned my phone is reading my mind. I was thinking about Plovers in my car the other day and now this video comes up

Sounds like a receipt being printed.

Who tf slapped cheese on the bird's face

Got to love the paddock police

Mas and having 2 small knives, I just love it.

Plover: leave my children alone

Kudos on the good clear footage. Much appreciated

I play this on my phone at full volume in the morning to scare off all the birds that keep staring directly at my little Doodle. Scares the shit out of them!

Omg that sound of his is too annoying

0:28 on its wings you can see the reason why you dont mess with these little birds

Awww... poor birb. He thinks hes scary, but to human we think its cute

Love these birds. Remember we are in their territory as we have invaded all our native species habitats. They only swoop to protect their babies.

Beautiful photography!

Классная птичка 😊

Went to the zoo yesterday and they had a small aviary with several species from asia. And jesus christ when they get to squacking it is PAINFULLY LOUD

As an Australian, travelling all over Australia, the annoying lapwing noises remind me of the martian vocalisations in the hilarious movie Mars Attacks!

amazing close up.

CHIDORI!!!!!⚡✨

quero quero da austrália

Its legs are so thin 🤣🤣🤣

I call them the “Denzel Washington” bird. because I never knew what they were called so I just call it “Denzel Washington” because of its black flat head like Denzels hair in the movie Training Day

I get shell-shock trauma listening to this feathered demon. 🙄

Why is the male doing this move i.tnougy it's female with eggs

Work on a golf course. Fuckin hate these birds, mates been swooped before, I'll eventually hit one with a pinecone I'm sure

U mad, brah ?!

Well, what I'd say to you is..........by making this video you are actually stressing them. Better to back off, sit down and offer them some worms or bugs or even a tray of water especially in warmer months. That way you'll find they will befriend you. Please give it a try.

Vanellus chilensis lampronotus

Thy screaming forbear!! Sheesh!

Just learned they have a slight poison in wing.

Poor baba where is het eggs
