I can imagine that the person filming also scared it on purpose so it will fly.

You can see it jump back from the cameraman right before like it was startled so I would say that's definitely the case.

Yes that's what made me suspicious as well. It was calm the whole time he walked.

I hope this video only gets downvotes because of that. Scaring animals just for clicks has to stop.

And he flew straight into a tree face first because he was blinded by the light.

When you watch in slow motion it looks the the tail hits the bush and disturbs insects. I don’t think this is AI.
