    I assume the bird tries to break open the “eggs” it found. I know, boring explanation for an absolute funny video.

      Not eggs, but prey. They use this movement to break its bones and kill it.

      It’s a siriema if I’m not mistaken. There are a bunch of them in the country side of where I live (Brazilian Cerrado). They are absolutely fantastic animals

      I assume the bird’s knowledge is inarticulate and all it knows is that it’s very satisfying to slam the ball on the concrete.
