LC,
I watched the video. Omg that is insane. And alike to what this bird was doing here. He was fascinated with the mail man. We think the pheasant was male, due to it's brilliant bright colors.
The mail man was walking his route, I was outside in my drive way. He yelled to me, You like Turkey? I turned and I looked and sure enough there was a HUGE BIRD of many colors walking each step with the mail carrier.
He walked and stopped mid side walk. The bird was trotting behind him, the bird almost fell face first bec he didn't expect the mail man to stop in his tracks. That is how close he was trailing him. It was so funny, I watched him go to the mail boxes across the street. The mail man had to open the one mail box on the porch.. the bird watched him" stretching his neck" taking the mail out of the bag and looked up to see if he got it into the box right. Then the mail man proceeded to walk back down towards the side walk .. the Bird mimicking his every move. I wish I would have had a video camera. Was hysterical. I didn't see him again, until a week later. Where was he? The Bird? He was laying under the govt owned Mailbox at the corner, watching cars drive back and forth. What is it about Mail and BIG Birds??? must have been waiting on the mail carrier's truck to empty the box ... hah.. too funny.
Great Video!
