An angry bird had it out for a fox trotting down the streets of Ocean City, Maryland, but the fox couldn’t care less. In fact, the fox appears completely unbothered, as if the bird wasn’t repeatedly trying to attack it.
Frank Bolinsky captured the entertaining footage and posted it to his Instagram page earlier this week. The video has over 40,000 likes.

“The most interesting video I’ve ever taken lol,” wrote Bolinsky in his post sharing the footage. “The foxes in ocean city have seen things and are unbothered.”
Maryland has two types of foxes: red foxes and gray foxes. The fox in Bolinsky’s video appears to be a red fox, and it’s not clear why the bird hates it so much.
“[The fox] probably just ate one of its eggs,” guesses one person.
“[The bird is] picking off stray hair for nesting it seems,” guesses another.
Several people in the comments section suggest the angry bird is a northern mockingbird, and they note that these birds are very territorial—obnoxiously so. Maybe the fox came too close to the mockingbird’s space, and this is the bird’s way of chasing it away.
