There are a lot of references to people called &#8216;Birdman&#8217; who use jetpacks and other unique ways to fly. Again, not our guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, an interesting article talks about the great work of <a href=\"https:\/\/gulfnews.com\/uae\/environment\/dubais-birdman-takes-a-bow-after-30-years-in-dubai-municipality-1.64706332\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Reza Khan who records rare wildlife species in the UAE<\/a>. Obviously, not our guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All we know for certain are the number of people who were drawn to the sight of so many birds coming together at sunset, offering a stunning spectacle as the land and fly away after picking at the food thrown to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Behind the scenes (possible spoilers)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this is your first time reading a \u2018closer look\u2019 at one of our YouTube videos, watch the video before reading any further. There may be possible spoilers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned in other posts, this trip was the first travel adventure we knew would make it onto YouTube. While there aren\u2019t as many moments of speaking to the camera as a modern travel Vlog, even one would\u2019ve been more than seen in any prior trips. And yes, we do plan on publishing past travel adventures, low resolutions and all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was an opportunity to deliver a more &#8216;in the moment&#8217; artistic video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00220.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Birds fill the sky near a Dubai mosque\" class=\"wp-image-5814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00220-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00220-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00220-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00220-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00220-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00220-scaled.jpg?resize=1800%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 1800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00220-scaled.jpg?w=2400&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Birds fill the sky near a Dubai mosque<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It really happened as seen in the video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wendy has such a great eye for the perfect scene, when you see her looking at anything for any length of time, always check out it out! When she started scanning the rooflines, my first thought was, &#8216;Those are just a few birds.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It didn&#8217;t take long to realize there were more than just a few, and the number was growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An annoying generator overwhelms the sound in the first few scenes, but this helped direct the narrative when editing the footage. By removing the sound all together, the viewer is led to the moment the birds start drowning out the loud, man-made construction noises. Having only the music at the beginning helps set the tone of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, this artistic, audible direction loses the moment Wendy is heard suggesting we follow the birds to see what&#8217;s causing the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Birds_(film)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hitchcock-inspired flocks<\/a> to congregate on the mosque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00222.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Looking back at a sky full of birds in Dubai\" class=\"wp-image-5815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00222-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00222-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00222-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00222-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00222-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00222-scaled.jpg?resize=1800%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 1800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovetwotravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC00222-scaled.jpg?w=2400&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Looking back at a sky full of birds in Dubai<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with many of our travel adventures, by sheer luck we timed this moment just right, walking into the thick of the feeding, capturing the moment the sky was most filled with the birds. A clear day with a gorgeous sunset certainly didn&#8217;t hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, if you like this video, please share it with your friends and family.
