Laser Pointer Creates Confusion Amongst Swarm of Texas Birds

Tempted by the knowledge that hundreds of birds make their home close to the Hancock Shopping Center in Austin, Texas, Josh decided to bring his laser pointer along with him one evening to have a little fun and see what would happen. As he told us after the event, he may have just “gotten a little carried away”. His experiment created confusion amongst the birds, who swarmed overhead but flew in all directions as the light darted across the sky. Credit: YouTube/Josh Guillen
