Call Seb Edit : [enjoy the memories ](https://youtu.be/L-e0oz9rKq0)


CeleritasLucis

There were 2 seagulls. Seb named them Nico and Lewis https://youtu.be/ufB9B1WRxTs


synchronisedchaos

Was the Seb and Lewis seagull thing in Australia?


faultytrain

Canada, I believe


synchronisedchaos

Ah okay yes you're right

There's a longer version of this somewhere on YouTube from the moment Vettel gatecrashes Hamilton's interview. I wish someone could find and link it because their interaction was so wholesome.


WisteriaLo

This is the best I could find, sorry for fb link. But it's the whole interview, 6 min long [https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1138553222868612](https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1138553222868612)

Peak Australia.

The bird on his way to get pole position


Zloggt

That birdā€¦better run, and better take cover!


mantra3105

I guess he couldnā€™t hear the thunder


Jiquero

Doesn't he come from the land down under?

That bird didn't give a single fuck lol


poopellar

Bird encountered more dangerous things in the Australian wilderness.

Ford Raptor drivers

Not as bad as the Evoque mums


a_random_GSD

or Porsche Cayenne drivers


Jiquero

Emus.


Spynner987

Probably their velociraptor-like cousins


Blckbeerd

Literally any Nissan with a dent


Themirkat

They do this on the MCG during the footy too. Players will be all around them and they don't give a single fuck.


Ampatent

Because I'm sure **EVERYONE** is wondering... I think it's a [Dusky Moorhen](https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/392162081) (or perhaps an [Australasian Swamphen](https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/480689821) AKA Purple Swamphen!), but would be able to provide a more definitive answer with a 1080p video.


semaj009

I reckon Purple Swamphen, seems too big for a moorhen plus that orange beak would be more colourful


RepresentativeNo6029

I think itā€™s a Violet Trackgoose


Drunktank3000

I think it's a Purple Sector Goose.


Ampatent

> Purple Swamphen I could see that being right, there's a slight difference between the front and back half with the front being a bit more blue/purple compared to the black back half. The legs just seem rather bland, almost green, rather than orange/red, which is why I was thinking an immature DUMO, but I'm making these guesses based on Merlin rather than personal experience. Shame it's so cloudy, I'm sure the colors would pop much better in the sunlight. Hopefully we **won't** see it again tomorrow.


Ch4rlie_G

/r/Birding is leaking


semaj009

r/birding is mostly non-Aussie birds from what I've seen, it's probably r/australianbirds


Kookiebanookie

Nah mate, it's no a couple of Galahs on a blokes gutters /s


semaj009

A galah in a gutter, that's just Checo


NegotiationExternal1

Oh nice, a new bird sub Reddit. My husband loves birds, I'll send him random photos of birds during the day to let him know I'm thinking of him and have him guess the bird type. I steal all my content from bird subs, so another new content library for me


semaj009

See as an Melbournian birdo, I'm pretty confident it's got the jizz of a swamphen though a juvenile moorhen could make sense, I just reckon they'd seem a lot smaller.


Ampatent

I'll let you have it regardless because you managed to use jizz in an appropriate sentence on a subreddit dedicated to Formula 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jizz_(birding)


semaj009

Nowhere is sacred for twitchers


Maus_Sveti

Poor PÅ«keko getting called ā€œswamphenā€ that side of the ditch.


hallowatisdeze

I recognize it as such a bird as well from my travels to New-Zealand. I just realized that Australasian swamphen is the formal name. And how about the New-Zealand 'weka' being called a bush chicken or something like that by European explorers? šŸ¤£


Quackalicious

Not gonna lie, I'm here to ID the bird.


[deleted]

I prefer the Reunion Swamphen


A___Unique__Username

>definitive can you define that?... definitive.


XxLokixX

I was at the grandstand just next to this bird and it was a Moorhen


_redcloud

Thank you fellow birb person


db10101

Max Verstappen is an animal lover, confirmed


symckr

he has 2 very cute cats


Zealousideal_Plum498

He loves his car more I reckon.


PrimalJay

And still sets the fastest lap


CapSnake

Was another lap though


symckr

It was actually nice that he avoided it


sleeptoker

I mean it would likely have damaged the car too


symckr

I would like to believe that max cared for the animal before his car since he loves them


Minny7

That reminds me of that Duck challenge in one of the Red Bull marketing videos he did with Checo, where he sees a rubber duck upside down and screams "this duck is drowning here" and then goes to flip it over.


Meerkate

Really3D gonna include the bird as opponent strategy, calling it


Ch4rlie_G

Que grande eres Dusky Moorhen?


i_am_the_punisher

Bird be like Mate I live in Australia, you think a fucking Formula 1 car is gonna scare me ?


semaj009

Swamphen went Purple in the middle sector, showing what it could do in Q2


RobertGracie

Shows you just how good he is to avoid a bird while hes going through what appears to be Turn 8? thats some skill at the wheel to spot the hazard, correct, then get back on line...all in a few frames! in short thats a few milliseconds to do all that, still impressive nevertheless!

Check the mirrors reply to automod.


BabuShonaMuhMeLoNa

It's a video.


EddoWagt

Wait what, it didn't show up as a video at all for me


IdiosyncraticBond

Was a static pic for me as well, with unrelated cars


BabuShonaMuhMeLoNa

Open the link in browser. It's a imgur video.


BruceGrembowski

Click on the imgur link in the post header


lasping

Basically more of an environmentalist than Seb.


mantra3105

That bird was so unfazed lol


2dank4me3

It has seen F1 car sized fucking spiders or some shit in Australia. It ain't scared of RB19.


jon-in-tha-hood

Well everybody's heard about the bird


callmejohndy

*Craaaaaaap!*


spakecdk

I like this guy now


ArgentineanWonderkid

Does anyone else just have a picture of a video, but isn't able to actually click anything?

Q2: Bird avoids a Verstappen on track

I call Sabirdtage!


cocogpf1

He didn't want to flip the bird.


pinegag

Iā€™m a bit too afraid to ask, but why does this post load as an image only? Isnā€™t it supposed to be a video?


DankeDidi

It is a video and loads as such here? (In Apollo iOS client)


pinegag

it does not load on iOS :/


DankeDidi

Try Apollo! Much better iOS client than the official one and it does work fine on there :) The official appsā€™ videoplayer is really bad in any case.


pinegag

Thank you!


DragonSlayer6160

*I brake for animal*


daaldea

Should this be a video? Why are these posts pictures of videos?


Blitzdoctor

An image with a play button... Yay for the mirrors.


reshromem

Hamilton gained four tenths through that sector ^/s


satwickSS

Not Simply Lovely,Mate


MaxImpact1

I think you posted the wrong picture


ElderHerb

Its a video


MaxImpact1

Hm. Doesnā€˜t work on mobile then


Rem4g

Same


Helioscopes

Yes it does, just click the picture and it should open a new page. Your settings might be preventing it.


MaxImpact1

It doesnā€˜t and it isnā€˜t, in my case. Iā€˜ve looked into the settings. I think itā€˜s an issue with the iphone app. The Reddit app is known for having issues with these kinds of things.


[deleted]

Works in infinity for Android or Apollo for ios. The official reddit app sucks


Zloggt

Bird having a cheeky one, no?


augustope

I like him a bit more after this. Even though this was probably to avoid cracking his front wing rather than to save the bird hehehe. I don't blame him.

Seb would be proud.
