Flying Devils | National Geographic

here they are striated Caracara is doing
what they do best damaging this is
exactly the type of scene a National
Geographic crew expect her to catch on
camera when they went to the frigid
Falkland Islands what they didn’t expect
well the birds are better known by
another name
Johnny rooks which is one of those
old-time phrases for thieves pillagers
and mischief-makers these birds are also
good at destroying things like well
campsites for instance besides civil
vandals stealing food is a specialty and
once the rumor gets out then a free meal
is available the Johnny rooks have
themselves beat this thievery isn’t for
personal enrichment
this is havoc for the heck of it and for
that purpose it doesn’t get any better
than messing with toilet paper so why
was the crew here in the first place to
capture Johnny rooks as they reveal
their very own generation gap actually
more like a chasm and an old Johnny rook
wayde’s into a bunch of adolescence to
take control of our Rockhopper penguin
carcass and teach these young punks a
thing or two about who’s in charge here
this dude uh looks like he’s gonna kick
some tail feathers and he does a
thorough convincing
after this trashy the adult discovers
the young Johnny roses still don’t
appear to realize who rules this roost
his mate plans to pray together they
show they mean business
this is a mean nasty take-no-prisoners
battle the adults win and celebrate with
a raucous victory
and then enjoy the spoils of victory the
young Johnny rooks get a one-way ticket
to Palookaville
this is a harsh desolate island and
finding food here is no easy task they
scour the coastline for anything edible
one thing is certain a penguin dinner
with the folks is not in their future
