Bird’s Wings Get Perfectly Synced With Camera’s Frame Rate And It Will Mess With Your Mind
Birds fly. That’s what birds do (most of them at least). But birds don’t fly without moving their wings, because that would defy gravity. Obviously. But as you can see below, sometimes nature does mysterious things when it thinks that us humans aren’t looking. Unknown to the levitating star of this trippy video however, a home security camera caught its mind-boggling stunt on video, and it’s since been viewed over 250k times in just 24 hours after a YouTuber called Ginger Beard uploaded it to the internet.
How did this little feathered fellow do it? Simple. Its wings just happened to perfectly synchronize with the camera’s frame rate, thereby creating the bizarre optical illusion that you see before you. This isn’t the first time this has happened (we previously showed you a helicopter appearing to hover through the air with its rotor blades perfectly still), but it’s the first time we’ve seen an animal demonstrating this bewildering quirk of technology. Either that or we’ve just unknowingly witnessed a rare glitch in the Matrix. What do you think?

my math teacher be like: provided that the FPS of the camera was 23.4, what's could be the flap rate of the bird?
It could also be flapping twice the frame rate or 4x! a humming bird flaps its wings upto 80 times per second!

Interesting thing :D I didn't know that was possible :) A small neat fun fact ^^
It's really cool. It also happens with helicopters.

that depends on if it's an african or euoropean swallow.

OH for more fun, search for helicopter blades syncing with shutter speed. It's really eerie looking.
so this could happen with a car wheel spinning as it passes by? or is that why the wheel looks slower to us when it spinning faster because its getting closer to our eyes' frame rate ?
I have this suspicion that these days every bird or animal knows what a selfie is.why else would they linger around cams:)
Press 3 about once per second when watching the video for nonstop levitation.
Fake. Look at the foreign object that enters the film at 4 seconds, directly above the camera.
