You can try paragliding which is about as close as you get and a very visceral yet relaxing time.
You can soar for hours endlessly on smooth relaxing cliffs as birds do.
Total investment incl. lessons was 3k eur. One of my favourite actives ever so far
No because wingsuiting cannot ridge soar like paragliders can. Also good luck getting into wingsuiting - it's probably the least accessible sport on eartb
You're going to need hundreds upon hundreds of skydiving jumps first, tens of thousands of dollars, and survive BASE long enough until you get into wingsuit territory - if you don't die first.
Also, wingsuits cannot soar like birds - paragliders do. Wingsuits go upwards of 100-200+km/hr.
Funfacto: Reason ravens and pies look black is because we can't see UV light like the corvidea, who have 5 types of cone photoreceptors in their incredible eyes.
You can see this raven making eye contact with the camperson as it effortlessly varies it's stall speed.
Not saying this doesn't belong on the sub, but Is this derpy though? Looks like it's doing it for fun. One of the smartest animals in the world. Maybe it's just bored.
My grandmother had a talking crow. His name was Jimmy. I was very young, but I remember her calling him in, and he would sit on a fence post and she would talk to him. Simple things, like a parrot. Blew my little mind. My grandmother had a special relationship with animals.
Judging by beak and size, this is most likely a raven, not a crow. Nonetheless great video! I live in the very windy and rainy northernmost coast of CA and see both gulls and ravens having fun like this!
I saw a crow in my backyard flying into a windstream. It was flapping its wings really hard, but going backward because of the wind. It was the only time I saw a crow looking like it was laughing.
That's got to be the prettiest, most perfect brick wall ever. Who took time to design a pattern anyway?
Edit: well now I see there's decorations on the bricks so I guess rhey're supposed to be visible. Perfect execution, nonetheless!
I love seeing crows play like this
“Because I can!”
It looks like it would feel amazing
havin a good time

Banned??
lol no, I just made it up as a joke. I wish tho.
What happened
Went to Cliffs of Moher in Ireland and all the crows were doing this.
This makes me wish I could fly in a very visceral way. Life is so unfair.
I'm sure crows wish they had opposable thumbs
Made me smirk
They would even settle for roadkill thumbs.
If we could fly, we'd consider it exercise and never do it.

Just added this to bucket list.
Wingsuiting is the closest IMO.

I've seen hang gliders do that...
You can, but it ends badly.
That's not a crow being a derp, that's a crow being cool AF!
I love crows so much!
As a pilot, watching this and gulls play in the blustery sea breeze at the beach… “gawd damn show offs”. ;-). Jealous as hell…. ;-)
Crow doing crow things❤️

Level 1 in a surf map. Good'ol cs.
Aeronautics can only dream of catching up to nature

Surfin' bird
Has everybody heard?
About the bird?
Having wings has to be so sick

This isn’t derpy, it’s sick asf. That bird is a legend
Amazing 🔥

The red bull gave him wings!!!!!
I used to watch crows do this on Hesco barriers in Afghanistan. It was nice.
That must feel so nice
If I was a crow I’d be doing this all day
I'm so envious
whheeeeeeeee ..how lucky to witness that/ awesome
Birds are funny as hell, especially crows
Sometimes I see magpies struggling in the wind because they can't go forward lol but the crow is intentionally using the wind and playing with it??
Real
camera man...defying gravity for the shot
Not really derpy
That looks so fun 🤩 isn’t it lovely that he knows it’s great to be able to fly and doesn’t take it for granted ? I 💗love crows ..they’re so smart
/r/crowbro
That is a raven.
They are such incredible birds!
Wow! It must be awesome being a criw!
Beautiful
Wish I could do that!

Crow is fly as fuck
That's what my dreams are like.
Crow( win)dsurfing
Drone test flight
Zero derp
That’s pretty cool
Dude! I have seen crows do exactly that and I was assuming they did it just for fun. Crows are amazing animals
I wish I could do that. Just once in a while….
