A bird lands and grips one fixed perch

1. Task and boundary

Bring one airborne bird onto a visible perch. The essential handoff is from flight to foot support: the feet meet the branch, a grip becomes readable, and only then do the wings settle against the body.

Landing on a narrow perch requires a readable foot grip and a wing-to-rest transition. It is not a ground hop, and the shot starts airborne rather than adding an unnecessary takeoff.

Use one bird and one accessible perch. Exclude capture, handling, a second takeoff and species claims inferred from the generated clip.

2. Authorized first frame

Supply an authorized image with one airborne bird near a fixed horizontal perch. Both the bird and landing area must already be visible, including space to see the feet approach.

3. Use the generator

Open the image-to-video generator, add your authorized first frame and paste the prompt. Check current options and cost before you submit; this page does not upload or submit on your behalf.

1. Choose a view with the full bird, free approach space and enough branch contrast to inspect the feet.
2. Request a short approach and one landing; leave the perch fixed instead of following the bird with the camera.
3. Check contact before accepting the resting pose, then follow each visible wing into the folded state.

4. Prompt and timing

One continuous fixed view of the same bird and horizontal perch. The bird approaches the original branch from its visible starting position, lowers its feet and makes contact. Keep the toes and branch boundary readable as the feet grip. The body settles above that contact and the original wings fold toward its sides. Leave the branch fixed and preserve the bird’s markings. End with one supported bird on the perch. No second bird, missing feet, wing disappearance before contact, branch passing through the body or cut.

5. Inspect the output

Inspect the actual clip from start to finish. Use pass, fail or not visible for each check; an attractive final frame does not prove the intervening motion.

• The same bird follows a continuous approach to the original branch without a substitute appearing at the landing point.
• The feet reach the branch before the body becomes stationary above it.
• The visible toes remain attached to the original feet and form a readable grip around the perch.
• The wings fold continuously after contact; the ending bird remains supported on the same branch.

6. Fix one failure

• If the bird snaps onto the branch, shorten the approach and retain the final descending foot movement.
• If the feet vanish, enlarge the landing area in the first frame and avoid heavy foliage around it.
• If a wing dissolves, require a continuous folding contour and omit extra flapping after the grip.

7. Ending and limits

Hold a brief ending with the same bird gripping the perch and the wings settled close to its sides.

This untested visual brief does not verify species-specific landing technique or flight performance. An obscured foot cannot be counted as a confirmed grip.

After inspecting a result, use the available result-save or download control. Keep the first frame, exact prompt and complete output together so that revisions can be compared.
