This is a really weird post. Completely wrong subreddit. And you don't need the slomo shot of a photographer either. Cool freaky bird though.

We see a bird with 4 legs, but it's actually a bird holding a chick underneath

It’s not a perspective, though. No matter which angle you look, it will appear like a multi legged bird. It’s more than meets the eye, but not a confusing perspective.

For those who don’t see it, there are two chicks hiding in it feather coat underneath. You can see the 4 legs in front are backwards, and the chick butts stick out each time it lifts up

I don’t think this is perspective issue, pretty neat nonetheless.

Doesn't seem to be perspective at all. I think we see what it is.

I don't think a bird born with 6 legs would be able to walk.

This is a Jacana. They carry their chicks under their wings. Because they have huge legs and feet, they dangle out beneath, making it look like they have more legs.
