    **Not my video**

    The GoPro is the camera that I use on my RC planes, and without the case I think it would be light enough for a seagull to carry. Still... I'm not sure if it's fake or not.
    But it's kinda cool anyway.

    It looks fake. I am a bird watcher myself and afaik birds are least interested in digital products. Btw your RC plane video was cool.

    The takeoff could be fake, but I don't see how they could have done the landing (at around 0:32).
    Maybe that's why the bird sounds so annoyed when it lands :D

    That may be correct but the owner of the bird might have trained it to steal the digital cam!?:p

    Yeah It is possible but I think in movie only. In real world it is not possible because birds don't use screw drivers and cameras are not kept like a ball.

    Its looks real to me because birds are attracted to shining things including a glimmer off a video camera lens. How he was able to find the video camera is another thing.
