cohete borracho
aka Drunken Rocket
.
Can anyone tell me did this person make this by adding to the rocket or is it sold exactly as shown. Please note it looks like this video is from Valencia in front of Palau di Musica.

For my American friends who may not know what a vogelschreck is. It translate to "Bird Deterrent" also know as "Bird Bangers". He did a great job.

I know in Germany they sell a better version of the Bird Banger as pictured here where multiple vogelschreck can be shot.

What is the composition and weight if the "Bird banger" round?

[PGH_Pyro]

i spent time in western canada and lived in a forested area with a lot of black bears and mountain lions aka cougars.
i met a wildlife officer/game officer one time who had what he called "bear bangers" for shoo-ing bears away from populated areas / pets .
same idea but I think even more powerful / loud than the bird ones . an m-80, pretty much .

What is the composition and weight if the "Bird banger" round?

the most popular and classic one is maked with a classic black powder delay, and 3 gr of kclo4 flash powder. but there are many different delay. here an example from the famous german company ZINK:

A very interesting thing is that you can put this stuff in the mortar on the top of the shell. it ignites very easily because the bp delay. so you can make very interesting effects. some examples:

with a brocade delay:

Great idea, these Bird Bangers (vogelscreck) are already primed and ready to use for this application. They pprobably would make great shell inserts also.

[PyroManiacs]

Ok, now were gettin a little crazy.... and lovin it!

[RunBang]

They pprobably would make great shell inserts also.

Yes, and in rockets, like that:
