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
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!
As an Australian, travelling all over Australia, the annoying lapwing noises remind me of the martian vocalisations in the hilarious movie Mars Attacks!
Oh these are the birds that make that noise!! Since childhood I’ve heard them but never seen one actually making the noise so never knew which bird it was
when you hear about the bird world you learn it can be pretty messed up but then theres masked lapwings who get a bad rep for just being good parents and evolved to nest and like environments we made, its not these little cuties fault
The most beautiful parents. They need to act like this to save their chicks. Even with this display, many rarely have one chick live after all years breeding. Ive seen 6 baby plovers killed by fox's, ravens and even the pest Indian myna birds.
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'm told by people smarter than me there's every chance they'll just abandon the relocated nest and return to lay another clutch back on the original site. Given enough days in the season of course. It's 31 days now, and the bird books all say they incubate at, more or less, 28. So I reckon if they haven't hatched by this Friday they are officially infertile and I may well test the veracity of this local folklore.
Definitely avoid relocation of nest/eggs or touching young offspring the birds are often able to disown and abandon offspring if they have a different scent on them :)
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.

@@FurrballFromTinyToonAdventures You are not only wrong, you are dead wrong.
Time for you to go read a book. Now scram.
The Wolverine of the Bird Kingdom.
That’s a Pokémon
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

Got to love the paddock police
Kudos on the good clear footage. Much appreciated
Fun fact: Killdeers and Lapwings are cousins.
Mas and having 2 small knives, I just love it.

Beautiful photography!
Went to the zoo yesterday and they had a small aviary with several species from asia.

Plover: leave my children alone
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.
They're cunts where I live
Swoop unprovoked constantly even though there's no nest
If an animal takes another animal's territory, is it theirs? Why is it different for us humans?
@@UmUs to be fair the birds are native to the territory they're protecting so it wouldnt be nice to kick them out
Lapwings isn't birds.
@@FurrballFromTinyToonAdventures yep, they're c*nts
Worse than magpies from my experience
0:28 on its wings you can see the reason why you dont mess with these little birds
That's not gonna stop me from petting it 🖐🐦
Lapwing is not a bird
@@FurrballFromTinyToonAdventures No its a fruit
Awww... poor birb. He thinks hes scary, but to human we think its cute
I wanna pet it and feed it chips
but if its a female and it has eggs they will swoop u if your close to it
Lapwing is not a bird.
@@FurrballFromTinyToonAdventuresit is you don’t have bird IQ?
bird*
At least learn how to spell...
amazing close up.
29 days and counting Mike.
Классная птичка 😊
Work on a golf course. Fuckin hate these birds, mates been swooped before, I'll eventually hit one with a pinecone I'm sure
I wish you luck with your goal to hit one with a pine cone
Me too, I love them as well. 😮❤

CHIDORI!!!!!⚡✨
These things are adorable!!
Not when there tryna swoop ya
There horrible little devil spawns of a bitd
@@Clipztoeasy They are good parents defending their babies numbskull
Come to Australia during Winter and you will delete this.
They're not cute bro they have these venous fangs on their wings that could do serious injury
I get shell-shock trauma listening to this feathered demon. 🙄
*Masked denon, look at their face tho.
@@onlyredpanda *Demon. Sure, why not, that too.
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
oh my god
@@tinfoilhomer909 haha I know I know it’s weird
LOL I don't know why this whole comment made me laugh so much 🤣🤣🤣
U mad, brah ?!
Any idea if the eggs can be relocated ?

Its legs are so thin 🤣🤣🤣
Oh wow i been swooped twice by bith parents once worse thsn magpue magpies nothing to these birds
They beaks are so sharp
Why is the male doing this move i.tnougy it's female with eggs
Absolutely female @user-etcetera both parents develop wing spurs while they're breeding.

Please give it a try.
100% they do!
@@MrDashboardDan they do what?
Protegendo o ninho.
Morte de cima.

Thy screaming forbear!! Sheesh!
Vanellus chilensis lampronotus
Just learned they have a slight poison in wing.

They don't. Masked Lapwings do not possess any form of poison in their bodies.
