While out of sight is out of mind, sometimes a rare sight could potentially fry your mind!
And what better way to subject yourself to visual disturbance than Tiktok?– Pandora’s box of weird content.
The recent TikTok video has perplexed netizens across all platforms. What is it? Is it even a bird?
The skeptical spectrum of Twiteratti soon claimed the involvement of A.I. and Deep-fake technology. It’s been a trend on social media where artists re-imagine things/people with A.I.
It is funny and borderline identity theft at the same time.
Regardless, that’s not why we are here; the video is far more disturbing than everything.
What Is The Mutant Pigeon Video?
Take a deep breath…3…2…1…
What was that? Is it a rooster? Are there two pigeons? What gym does it go to?
The video went viral, racking more than 20 million views, with no unanimous answer to what the abomination is. Some even thought that the bird might have an air sac rupture which causes the chest to bulge abnormally.
While all the other responses were a compilation of absurd, ridiculous, funny, and terrifying theories.
Who knew one mutant pigeon was enough for the netizens to lose their brain cells collectively?
“Y”all better not gaslight me into thinking this is real,”
“Bro came out a Dr Suess Book,”
“When you go to the gym and forget to make them legs.”
“If I were 5 years old and you told me to draw a picture of a bird, this is what it would look like,”
“What in the A.I. generated pigeon is that?”
“I don’t know much about birds, but these are obviously two birds wearing a pigeon suit.”
But is the video even real? Or are we all a part of a mass prank?
Is The Mutant Pigeon Video With Giant Leg Real?
Yes, the video is 100% original, undoctored, real-life, and extremely unsettling. This is a rare English breed of pigeon called a “Pouter.” They are a result of selective breeding and are domesticated versions of a Rock Dove.
They are usually bred and kept as fancy show birds; let’s just say any publicity is good publicity.
Pouter’s origin can be traced back 400 years ago, somewhere around U.K. and Europe. They require many years of selective breeding to fully develop into a Pouter breed. Some Pouters can grow up to 16 inches long.
Can a Pouter Fly?
According to experts, Pouter pigeons are pretty nimble in flight. They are better fliers before their crops are fully developed.
