Vulture Comes And Peacefully Sits On The Selfie Stick Of Men Who Were Paragliding

Paragliding in itself is an insane experience, now imagine having a vulture moving along with you. To some it might sound scary to many it just makes the adventure¡­ well, more adventurous.

A video of a vulture seen flying alongside a duo on a paraglider and then sitting on a selfie stick that¡¯s being held by one of them is gong viral on the internet.

It has been viewed millions of times and on Reddit alone it has 2.5 million views.

The video starts with the selfie shot of the paragliders; feathers of a bird seem to be interrupting the footage but we soon find out it is the vulture, peacefully maintaining a steady pace to move along the paragliders. The vulture then sits on the selfie-stick for sometime before flying away.

The video has since been viewed millions of times. Reportedly the two men were gliding above the picturesque mountains in Algodonales in Spain, which is a popular paragliding destination.

According to a Mail Online report, Paragliding instructor Scott Mason of SkyWings Adventure in Spain pioneers what is called ¡®parahawking¡¯, where a trained bird of prey guides him on flights to thermal columns that make his aerial trips longer and more birdlike.

It doesn't matter if the vulture sitting on the selfie-stick was a coincidence or not, the experience certainly seems one of its kind.
