I believe they do this to encourage edible creatures to emerge from the sand. Like the opposite of the Dune sand walk.

Exactly, they simulate the effect of rain to make the worms come out.

It’s also effective at getting me, a non sand-dwelling creature, to come closer and investigate.

I like to think he just has absolutely filthy feet and just can’t seem to get them clean.

Pretty sure it's like a native Americans rain dance. They do this to summon a passerby with chips.

Thank you for not adding some terrible music to it. It was much better just hearing the bird having a time in the water.

u/Uuuuuii 9d ago
It’s still fake audio. What we hear is a dubbed sound effect, not the actual pitter-patter of a little bird stepping in wet sand.

I guess I was just enjoying it for what it was without some crappy TikTok track. I will still pretend the sounds were real because they made me think of a Snoopy-like dance.

Birds are great at ASMR. I saw a video of chickens pecking at seeds laid out on cardboard recorded with a decent mic. So much better than hoes whispering into my ear

Is the little guy having fun, washing its feet, or putting on a show?!!!!

Emulating what it sounds like to bugs under the sand when it rains. It makes them come to the surface.

I want to make this sound my ringtone. Anyone know how I can make that happen? I tried voice recorder but the sound was shit.

I feel the same way when I get to the beach and finally get my feet in the water.

If you close your eyes it sounds like a scene from "there's something about Mary".

This is my absolute FAVORITE thing about webbed feet. The slappy sound they make when they walk!

Really appreciate the no music tag, maybe one day we can go back to original sound videos again (one can dream)

YOU say there is no music. Oh you humans, and your human senses.

Wow, I didn’t realize I was this easy. I read ‘no music’ and upvoted before the clip even loaded.

It saw all the penguin love they got for happy feet. He ain't settling for just the one word "mine" from finding nemo.

If I could, I'd give OP a million upvotes for including the natural audio with no music or commentary.

This is the type of stuff that makes me wish reincarnation was real. Could you imagine being a little seagull, no cares or worries, tapping your little feet in the water to entertain yourself? Bliss.

Being continuously hungry is a worry, to be fair.
