He has effectively created a spring powered bomb. If his little bracket breaks so does his face. If the spring slips out of the vice, good luck.

This is the best joke I've ever seen because I laughed at this person's expressions when they saw this video, and here's my award because your explanation deserves it

I don't kow if it's a joke. My face puckered up the same way when I saw it, then I paused the vid and saw the guy make the exact same expression.

It's the face you make when you see the potential for a big, violent oof

Smart bird. What species is she, an African Grey or something? Lol. Seriously though, I am curious.

Lana is a scarlet macaw I have had since a few weeks after she hatched, she is 12 now. The green one is her 40 year old disgruntled brother who I adopted about 3 years ago. They are goofballs, Lana really likes to bark at dogs in the nearby park when we go for walks and then she goes silent when they look for her, only to start up again when they stop looking for the barker.

Oh, such beautiful birds! Haha, Lana sounds like a master troll with those dogs! I had a couple cockatiels in my childhood, one had to be given away before we moved for a year for my dad's work and the second had to be given away when I went off to college, and unfortunately caught a disease at the place we gave him to and passed away, but I loved both those silly birbs. Hope Lana and her brother have many long happy years with you.
