On December 28, 2025, in Shanghai, located in eastern China, a video recorded a surprising scene deep in a wooded area. A rope was tied tightly between two trees, and a chicken clung to it with both claws, swinging back and forth like an expert performer.

Its body swayed in motion while its head remained remarkably steady, showing impressive balance. The chicken moved confidently along the rope, resembling a tiny gymnast practicing high-difficulty swings.

Nearby chickens behaved far more casually, sunbathing or searching the ground for food. Chinese netizens joked about the bird’s “athletic prowess,” wondering how a chicken manages to keep its head so stable during such motion.
