Whoever captured this footage of the dogfight in the air, is a master of his craft. And, the editing was amazing too.

This footage has become one of my favourites and the white bird is Damn beautiful while the pirate bird's are truly pirates with the ocean and the chase...it was really like a movie!

Does anyone else really appreciate the combination of great photography, natural sound of the birds and the selection of great music to heighten the action? I was on the edge of my chair watching this. I love documentaries like this --- and especially with birds.

This clip alone was more engaging than half the action films I've seen this decade.

This is more exciting to watch than fighter planes in a war movie. Thanks for sharing!

I have rewatched this many times and its still exciting as the first time. The music, Davids commentary and of course the birds in flight chasing and trying to get away... just wow 👌🏿👌🏿

I thought I was watching a new trailer of James Bond movie. Tbh I almost had a heart attack cheering for the bird to escape from the thief!

Yes, This shows animals are more than what we think ...that thief bird is so aware of its surroundings that sees the moment the other bird drops the fish...also so accurate catching that fish in the air before falling to the sea

The Man-O-War birds with their Delta positioning of flight was such so mesmerizing. And also How they swooped in.

My heart was broken everytime when a fish taken by pirates :(

In Hawaii they are called "Iwa" birds, pronounced "Eeva", and when I was a fisherman there I watched them glide for hours without flapping their wings. Fishermen in Hawaii use them to catch Pacific Blue Marlin because the Iwa birds follow the Marlin, hoping to snag the small baitfish Marlin push to the surface when they feed. "Follow the Iwa bird, find the Blue Marlin."
