while south America does not have crows (I can confirm, I live there) it does have some "crow adjacent" species that cover the same niche as crows, though while not crows but similar we have in our cities Scrub Blackbirds which not only look similar but act similar, they take advantage of everything but they're aren't as smart as crows, that is. there's also the Groove-billed Ani which is more "crow-like" than any other south american city bird I know.
@@FossilsToForests There are some corvids in south america though! Probably the most crow-like of the bunch is the Azure Jay, found in Argentina and the southern parts of Brazil. My guess as to why corvids are mostly absent from South America is due to the wide presence of Parrots, which are just as smart and versatile as Crows, and they can be easily spotted in cities and suburbs.

@FossilsToForests Simply saying "after the 20th century" implies after the end of the 20th century. The appropriate wording would have been "...after the start of the 20th century". But then, there's not a lot of people alive today who were born during the 1800s, so referring to when they were born is redundant. The first sentence of this video makes it sound like gen Z are the first members of the general public who are aware dinosaurs existed, which is clearly untrue. For instance, Jurassic Park was released during the 20th century, not after it.
"Just keep in mind the next time you go piss in the woods, that all the buzzards in the area are going to know" is my new favorite quote ever
I love crows. I befriended some awhile back. They followed me around and were very helpful.
Gotta love em
Dinosaurs still shape the world today and I hope they continue to do so for a long time
i’m sure they will

I wonder why birds from the Corvidae group haven’t settled in south america?
@@FossilsToForests perhaps climate? food? competition? at least convergent evolution does its things from time to time...

70th sub
17:20 what kind of bird is this?
That is a great crested grebe. Common water birds in Europe. In that clip they are performing a ritualistic display used to find their mates.
@ thank you

@@FossilsToForests Ngl I will stay in tune with everyone of your uploads.
@@suddieo1New one coming out sometime in the next week :)
"Sometime after the 20th century"? Right, because dinosaurs weren't known to the general public prior to the year 2000! 😂
The 20th century means the 1900’s, many people in the 1800’s did not know of dinosaurs.

@@sundancebilson-thompson414 Oh I see, yes you’re right I should have mentioned the start of the 20th century.
