A man named Jacob uncorks a bottle of wine by hand from his balcony while on holiday in the beautiful Shoal Bay, Australia, and accidentally hits a flying bird when pointing it towards the sky. The video capturing the one-in-a-billion cork bottle shot was filmed by his girlfriend Grace.

"He thought I wouldn’t be able to do it", explained Grace. "He ended up hitting that poor bird while we are on a family holiday".

The video shows Jacob standing with an incredulous and amused look on his face after realising that he knocked down the animal.

"What are the chances of that?", he asks confused.

"My mum wasn’t impressed with him and keeps asking if the bird is okay", said Grace.

According to the filmer, they aren't sure if the bird made a recovery or not.

“What are the chances of that!”. The perfect start to a family holiday was an unlucky end to one innocent bird in the beautiful Shoal Bay, Australia
