Meet the Hawk Tasked With Killing the Pigeons at Wimbledon

As part of the brand’s Perfectionist series, Stella Artois released this short mockumentary about Rufus, the hawk in charge of making sure pigeons no longer interrupt matches at Wimbledon. Whether the narrative is real or not — surely the bird is not singularly responsible for the extermination process — is besides the point, because the clip is actually pretty funny. “I’m faster than you,” Rufus narrates. “Stronger than you. I am an athlete. Do you call that flying? This is flying. I train harder than you … I have nothing against pigeons, I’m a professional.”

This clip, though, is sorely missing an Animal Planet-style execution.
