Videos of animals acting funny or strangely are all over the internet. A pigeon executing repeated backflips in a video has recently gained new traction on social media. About 5 million people have seen and liked the little video, which was posted by the Buitengebieden Twitter account.
Many pigeons can be seen flying around in a field in the footage. Yet one pigeon stands out for performing flawless back-to-back flips. It has a blue spot on its body. It is initially seen opening its wings before completing a backflip three times, not once or twice.
“Pigeon doing backflips,” according to the post’s description.

Show off! I bet I could do that if my arms were another 2-3' feet longer to give me a better horizontal center of gravity to rotate around. 😂

That 360'* flip, is something sick to see here from that pigeon. This pigeon is really good at it and is an interesting one too. It's showing that it can really do this, like a professional human could do, if they’ve studied and tried backflips long enough. 😮

They’re called rolling pigeons. When our kids were little we had about 20 in a loft in the backyard. We would release them before we fed them and they would fly and roll above the house putting on quite a show. They would eventually return to the loft for their evening meal.

A user commented, “Their called Tumblers, they do this to impress the ladies.”
Other films of animals engaging in strange behaviors, such as a cat impersonating two boxers while watching television, were also submitted by some people.
The Universities Federation of Animal Welfare (UFAW) reported that several pigeon species, including the roller and tumbler, had the intrinsic capacity to execute backflips similar to these.
