No clue how I come across these videos, I don't even use TikTok
Following on from the frozen plane, It would annoy me if I didn't post this similar occurrence. From the little I scanned of this TikToker, he seems to be a conspiracy theorist, true believer, kind of person and he posted this compilation of birds being "frozen" in mid air. Just a note, he has a video where he promotes the "birds are not real" conspiracy theory, which originally started as a joke...
The first video [since removed] is of a white bird being stuck near a 4G tower, this actually occurred in July of 2020 and a few news outlet Did cover it.
This is the original video, I'm not actually sure how long it is because Instagram annoyingly doesn't show length of videos.
According to the video descripting.
However, a news outlet did report that a few people in the comments did suggest that the bird is stuck in some thin wires, in the video you can actually see that the bird is not fully static, it is somewhat swaying/bobbing so that does make sense I think.
This would contradict the video description but I assume that the wires are really thin?
Another video shows another bird in the same "frozen" position, I could not find the original video of it. The guy in the video says that the bird was "hit with a broom" but it didn't look like it was hit, just that it was placed slightly next to it, I don't think the broom made contact with the bird at all.
The third video looks like a kestrel falcon hovering, these birds can hover mid air when hunting for food, it looks really cool actually.
The last one is a bird suspended in mid air whilst another bird passes it by. Kind of the same deal really, once you've seen one you've seen them all.
I'm aware that some birds can hover (like the aforementioned kestrel or humming birds) however, most of these birds don't seem like the ones that can hover, can birds use strong head winds to manipulate their "levitation"? If it's such a common occurrence, surely scientists and experts are aware of this.

Article: There is a static pigeon in the air next to a 4G antenna and there are apparently no wires nearby. Tuluá Valle, #Colombia.

Article: But other viewers had the more reasonable explanation that the bird had actually been caught by thin wires that are not seen on the video.
One attached a stock picture and wrote: "It could be cables even thinner than those in this image, the poor thing got stuck, you see at first how it sways a little."
