Funny Black Vulture Wobbles & Balances on Perch – One of the Group of 6 Just Left! (4K Video)

On January 14, 2026, right in my neighbor's tree here, a group of 6 black vultures was chilling and resting together [1]. After one flew off, this one stayed behind—and then had to do some serious wing-flapping and balancing! Watch this funny moment as it wobbles, steadies itself, and holds on tight. Black vultures are super social and often roost in groups like this, but takeoff turbulence makes for great wildlife comedy. 🦃✨

Description:

In this video, things get a little shaky! After one of the six Black Vultures in the group takes flight, the remaining bird has to work hard to keep its balance on the thin branches. It’s a great look at how these large birds manage their weight on flexible perches.

The Science of the "Wobble":

Weight Redistribution: When a large bird (like a Black Vulture with a 4.5-foot wingspan) takes off, the branch springs upward. The bird left behind has to use its tail and wings as "rudders" to stay upright as the branch settles.

The "Locking" Feet: Even though it looks like it might fall, the vulture's feet are built to grip. As it wobbles, its weight actually forces its talons to stay clamped onto the wood.

Center of Gravity: You’ll see the vulture leaning forward or shifting its wings slightly; it is constantly calculating its center of gravity to avoid a tumble.

"Who knew being a vulture required such good balance? 😂 It’s amazing to see how they react when the branch suddenly moves after a neighbor takes off. Have you ever seen a bird almost lose its footing like this?"
