The amazing stunt of pigeon has surprised social media users.
A pigeon is doing a backflip in a video that is going viral on social media. The short clip has stunned Twitter users and garnered over 5.5 million views on the micro-blogging website alone. The white pigeon, which has blue spots on its body, first spreads its wings and then backflips not once or twice, but three times. And the bird achieves the feat by spreading its wings. Many users are saddened to see this video that it does not look like the bird has done this stunt for the first time.
The video was shared by Hana on Twitter with a simple “wow” caption. The 11-second clip shows the pigeon landing perfectly on the ground after every backflip—much like a gymnast.

Users are amazed by the performance and have posted a barrage of comments.
One user said, “Hey come on! You’ve already flown. Now you’re just pretending.” “Gymnastics well done,” tweeted another. Some users posted other videos of animals doing unusual acts – such as a cat imitating two boxers while watching television.
Many users wanted to know how this is possible for a bird.
according to an article Universities Federation of Animal Welfare (UFAW), there are certain breeds of pigeons – roller and tumbler – that have an innate ability to do backflips this way.
The article states, “The roller and tumbler breeds of pigeons have been selected for tumbling behavior in flight, to the extent that some tumblers cannot fly, but rather fall as soon as they are intended to take feathers.” Huh.”
The consequences for birds are difficult to assess, but are clearly unfavorable when they are hurt by hitting the ground or falling on it.
A video was posted on reddit A few months ago, in which a pigeon showed similar behavior.
