Watch: Pigeon Performs Backflips, Internet Says “What A Showoff”

A video which shows a pigeon performing multiple backflips has gone viral on social media.

The short clip, shared by Twitter account called Buitengebieden, has accumulated more than 5 million views and over 108,000 likes.

In the video, several pigeons are seen roaming around in a field. However, one pigeon, with a blue patch on its body, captures the attention as it does immaculate back-to-back flips. It is first seen spreading its wings and then performing backflip not once or twice, but thrice.

“Pigeon doing backflips,” reads the caption of the post.

Since being shared, the video has left internet users absolutely stunned. “It’s the pigeon version of the Moon Walk!!!” wrote one user. “What a showoff!” said another.

A third user commented, “It is doing the backflips to impress the chicks,” while a fourth explained, “Their called Tumblers, they do this to impress the ladies”.

Some users even posted other videos of animals performing unusual tasks – like a cat imitating two boxers while watching television.
