Can Birds See Bullets? [Hunting]
Loading...
Uploaded by EdgunUSA on Aug 29, 2011
Many birds flinch right before the impact. Why is this?
I present some evidence - you decide for yourself.
Does the bird see the pellet?
Does he hear the muzzle blast?
Does he hear the pellet whistling?
Can birds see 1/10 second into the future? :)
All birds shot in this video are "pest species" as defined by the U.S. government. They can be shot at any time of the year.
The majority of the birds in this video were English House Sparrows. The name is a bit misleading - the bird is actually a finch. They are scrappy little farts, and their aggressive nature has made them the most abundant songbird in North America.
Read more about them at this website:

Seriously, READ - BEFORE you go shooting your mouth off about things you do not understand. Or, do a Google search on the House Sparrow. It will take you less time than writing a nasty 'ol comment, and you may just learn a thing or two. Bird enthusiasts and ornithologists are on my side. Put that in your pipe, and smoke it! :)
"Without question the most deplorable event in the history of American ornithology was the introduction of the English Sparrow." -W.L. Dawson, The Birds of Ohio, 1903

@MisterBubbles192 He only shoots invasive and damaging birds or other pests that are legal, or animals during hunting season that he is gonna eat.
Robins are neither of those.

Im glad you decide not to shoot Robins.

Awesome - I like your justification for shooting these birds to make the video!!!! Right on man!!!!! Nice shooting!
-
they can't see the bullet if it flies above 38ml/hr but they can feel it something is coming on their way. But, the distance that they can feel is too short, so it will be too late for them to fly away..

You should have tried to snipe that spider at the top of the nail in the beginning.

@Mtown3254 I might have tried, had I known he was there. I was 70 yards away. My scope is good, but not that good - especially when I'm shooting through the 2.5" LCD on my camera. ;)
