Well, I don't know. After seeing it the first time, I said "hoax, no question". But I can't find it listed as a hoax on any of the usual hoax websites, and most people on the Internet who raise the question conclude that it's real. Would David Attenborough lie to us? Then I watched it again, and I was willing to believe. Up to the last scene anyway, the chainsaw. Note that for that one you no longer see the bird's beak in sharp focus. For that one, I'm thinking, "hoax". It seems to me that Attenborough was having us on right there at the end. How could we verify whether it's trick or treat?
