Video: Pigeon saves its own life by doing an awesome backflip

Watch as this pigeon pulls off an amazing backflip in order to get out of the way of a speeding GP2 race car. Yes, that's right, it's a pigeon doing a backflip...

We’ve seen some pretty weird and wacky things here in JOE, but we’ve never seen a bird save its own life in such a cool way. Check it out...

The Monaco F1 Grand Prix will take place this weekend, but as always, the lads from GP2 (a class below F1) were tearing around the track today.

As the Brazilian driver Felipe Nasr rounded the exit at the famous swimming pool corner, he almost creamed a pigeon that was just sitting in the middle of the track.

However, thanks to some quick reactions from the bird and with the help of the draft created by the front wing, the pigeon managed to cheat death and score a perfect 10 for it’s landing in the process.
