This guy rocks! Some of the answers he refused to give direct conclusions because he wished for "you" the viewer to go out and find the truth. He's pointed multiple times towards a birding guide book, or going outside and finding the answers yourself through observation. He isn't just providing answers, he encourages better answers through self-initiated journey. He gave everyone who watched, the tools to stop asking other people and begin asking questions to ourselves that we can answer through the tools he gave. BRILLIANT teacher! Thank you for your time, please come on again soon.
@mehere8038 2 роки тому
He's not actually. He's still perpetrating myths & debunked stuff & straight out wrong info. He suggested cuckoos remove an egg so that the birds won't know they're raising a cuckoo, this is a proven myth, birds know full well when they're raising a cuckoo baby
@narfle Рік тому
Not sure if "brilliant teacher" qualifies for a teacher that would not give the answer on an educational video :P
@martingonzalez3629 2 роки тому
A couple things that were not mentioned. 1. One hypothesis about why birds lack teeth. It's a weight thing, bird beaks are made of keratin (same material as your nails) if you wanna be aerodynamic you're going to have to be lighter, every gram counts 2. Birds have the most effecient respiratory system of any animal on earth. They are actually able to oxygenate their blood as they exhale!
@pho3nix- Рік тому
Also ducks and geese have what kind of looks like "teeth" called lamellae and / or tomia.
@platedlizard Рік тому
Also technically every bird has a “tooth”, the egg tooth, which is on the tip of a fetus’s/hatchling’s beak. It’s used to break the eggshell and discarded soon after hatching
@blixten2928 Рік тому
@@pho3nix- Yeah, I was wondering about that. Geese can BITE, not just peck!
@karynak7034 Рік тому
also imagine a bird with teeth, sounds creepy asf
@Beautiful_Sound_1995 Рік тому
I think beaks are for digging and foraging in small gaps, and they really don't need to chew because their food is so small.

@rfrolicarts Рік тому
That's very cool. Some of my favorite owl encounters have been in the snow, which already dampens sound around you. National Audubon Society says: "Owl feathers have a leading edge shaped like a comb and a trailing edge with a fringe; these funnel air smoothly over the wing and dampen the sound. An owl's enormous wings, relative to its body size, also provide greater lift and enable it to fly slowly-as few as two miles per hour."

The bird equivalent of a Labrador mating with a collie would be like a Brahma chicken mating with a Rhode island red rooster. Same species different types.
