“At last it responds to it’s mother’s calls” *Rolls down the cliff*

The chick: *LITERALLY JUMPS 400FT OFF A CLIFF AND BANGS ITS HEAD 16 TIMES* Also the chick: *tis but a scratch*

Parents: "Jump." Babies: "Actually, can you carry us in your mouth-" Parents: "I SAID JUMP."

Goslings after breaking half of their bones from jumping off of a cliff: ‘Tis but a scratch

This is the ultimate *”They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.”*

"a perfect launch" *_Falls straight down and slamms into solid rocks_*

“Whoop whoop! Pull up!” “Terrain. Terrain. Terrain.”

-Has balls of steel -Survives a fall from Heaven to hell -Gets up against all literal odds and refuses to elaborate further

Mother goose: "if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?" Gosling: 🤔

Narrator: "The perfect launch!" Birb: crushes against rocks

Me, as I start the video and call my daughter over: This little fluff ball is gonna dive over 400ft into the water to his parents! Both of us as the camera pans down: OMG THERE'S NO WATER!! What a rollercoaster of emotions that was. LOL!

What an incredible work of the nature filmmakers. This incredible shot of the flying goose from below with all those hard hits, the reaction of the parents filmed in close up, the other cameraman right at the start of the jump on the cliff and then the reunion of the family. This must have taken an incredible amount of patience to be able to film this at the exact right time. They probably waited for this moment for years to catch it. I guess the BBC payed them good for this incredible and very emotional and heart wrenching document.

The narrator: “the perfect launch” Baby bird: *bangs head 10 times bouncing off of rocks* (Look guys I know it’s David Attenborough, I was too lazy to type it. Geez, my bad)

"If your friends jumped off of a cliff, would you do it, too?" *Me and the boys:* 0:16

For those concerned in the comments, making big jumps like this is strangely common for tiny baby birds (look up wood ducks for example); because they are so small and weigh so little, their terminal velocity and force of impact aren't enough to hurt them badly :)

Imagine "I believe I can fly" playing in the background as he jumps

My grandad explaining what he had to go through to get to school every morning:

His wings were small, but his balls were fully grown.

The fact that they can survive that drops is absolutely extraordinary

Still better than my childhood

I thought, "how could the internet let me watch this horrible tragedy?"....then, the damn thing lived. I shall be able to sleep tonight

"Barnacle geese regularly create nests on high cliffs to avoid predation, however within a few days of hatching goslings must jump off these cliff faces in order to meet their parents who are foraging on the grass below... The young of species required to make astonishing jumps from cavities and cliffs have an incredible softness of their bones for the first few days of life, without which the fall would surely be fatal. It is astounding that a gosling can fall 100ft and survive at 2 days of age, where they could not at 1 week." Since I know at least some of y'all must be curious (from wwt)

Oh, sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear Sing it with me, if it's just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

I cried when I saw the little things move after the jump. RIP the two died.

Who else thought the chick was dead when he smashed into the side of the mountain.

I like how the parents instantly came to meet it: "You passed the first test of survival, son. Achievement unlocked: The Cliff"

Chick before jump: "I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is Jack-Goose."

I watched this high and couldn’t help but to laugh then cry , but laugh again 😂😂😂

The nokia bird

My parents after watching this - "this is how we went to school"

This always gives me life. Even in my darkest moments,

1:53 lol that smile “I told you he’d be fine, see?” 😂😂😂

1:53 "Are you questioning my parenting?"

The little squeaks as it hits the rocks breaks my heart :’(

Dad and Mom starring from above happily with a bunch of lumps on their head: We remember our first jump. 🥰

This is the pinnacle of optimism!

The fact that the gosling just smashed into a bunch of rocks and shook it off like it's everyday business.

Duckling: "I believe I can fly"!!! 🐥

One of the most amazing things I've ever seen. My heart skips a beat every time they slam into the rocks

That was heartbreaking to see at first and then so relieving at the end.

1:53 my reaction when the bird was still alive

This is rare footage of a high-school graduate making their way through life

THIS HAS NO RIGHT BEING THIS FUNNY 💀💀

I remember my friend sending me this without any context back in middleschool 8 years ago and laughing our asses off, how cruel were we XD

Why did we send The Avengers to fight Thanos when goose chicks are clearly invincible

What a rough childhood! ☹

This made me cry it's so cute

kid:-Mom I fell of my cycle.. Baby Gosling:-hold my beer 🍺

People jump to end life, these birds jump to begin theirs

Taking “baby steps” to a whole another level

That's simply incredible!

I can't stop laughing at how the chick makes a squeak each time it hits something. I wonder if he was yelling the gosling equivalent of "SHIT!" each time.

i love how the parents are like So honey how was your first day at school?

Parent 1: Maybe we should raise them at the bottom of the cliff Parent 2: Yes but where is the challenge in that case?

Very amazing. Never thought that they would survive such a free fall. Great video, thank you very much

Simply just WOW!

Mother screaming at the bottom: “FLAP YOUR FREAKING WINGS!!”

The dive was excellent but a backflip or two would have made this better, I give him an 9/10 just because he survived. Congratulations to Bouncy.

You ever get asked the question what's your earliest memory? Mine is falling in a boating lake. These chicks would definitely have me beat

Natureza é exepcional

almost like my parents high expectations.

"Watch this mom!" //free falls but starts tumbling down the cliff// "nailed it"

I can hear "sing with me, sing for the year" 💀

The sound of a rubber duck when it hits the wall was funny. 😂😂😂 I really thought he wasn't gonna make it. Tough little fellla.

Actual footage of my parents telling me “this is how we got to school”

The phrase "If your brothers jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?" probably has no meaning in ducknese.

What a magnificent camera work never missed a single detail. 10lakhs likes for this effort

Life is full of struggle for every living being ❤️❤️❤️❤️

my anxiety was so high fearing the chick will die. turns out it was just “the perfect launch”

The parents to the chicks almost ready to leave: “Some of you may die...but that is a risk we are willing to take.”

That chick shook away the fall most easily than most people do after a weekend hangover

O mí Salvador que bonito ❤️🙏 es fantástico Gracias por Tu Amor🙏❤️

Apparently this is how my parents got to school everyday

Nature is gangsta as hell! After that first crash into rocks I was like, "What the hell am I watching"?! I just experienced a rollercoaster of reactions for these little things! Lol

Such a heart wrenching video 😠

what a brilliant moment

2:32 “At last, it responds to its mother’s calls” *proceeds to fall down another 6 feet*

I can't even imagine to what length the crew might have went to film all the things for days and cut it down to 5 minutes. Finding the locations, camping for months for something to happen. Capturing that rare event that starts and finishes in seconds from 5-8 different angles at that perfect moment. Shit.

I got chills down my spine

Holy hell this video was an emotional roller coaster

"A perfect launch" *breaks every bone in body*

Next time someone complains about their rough childhood.... I'm sending this to them

The duck is so cute and I was so sad when it looked injured

My heart stops beating more long than the video 😳

It is freakishly amazing they lived And that their parents were at the bottom.

This made me depressed when it jumped and then happy when he said it was a good launch and then depressed when it hit all the rocks and I thought it died but then happy again when it survived and then depressed again when they showed the other dead and injured ones and then happy again when it responded to the call of the mother but then depressed again when it fell off the cliff again and then happy again when it still survived and got united with its mother but then depressed again when he said there are still chicks unaccounted for and they couldn't search for it but then it made me happy when he said a third one made it but then depressed again when he said it had to catch up so I thought it was gonna get abandoned but then it made me happy again when he got reunited :)

My grandad would swear up and down this is how he was raised growing up

It s the miracle of nature!!!👍💖💞🌺🧡🌻

That sound it made when hitting the rocks! :( Anyone else think it's amazing that they can survive that drop!

Once it slammed right on the rocks, my heart instantly dropped. Crazy

Oh, my heart... Little baby.

a roller coaster of emotions

Humans: *Falls a few feet, breaks a bone or two* Birb: *Falls hundreds of feet. Hits a cliff side. Gets back up.* I'm okay dad!

Great parenting 10/10

this makes me wanna cry 😭😭

Hammer Aufnahme. So etwas habe ich noch nie gesehen

Previous episode: "Mother goose chooses the ideal nesting location.."

My heart stoped when it hit the rocks😥

What a wonderful bird

Best thing i saw on internet today
