"Brutally torture" bruh killing something with a spike is brutally torturing them now, i wonder what you would say to a human slicing an animals neck with a knife.
Imagine not knowing about this bird, being new to the area, and finding dead rodents impaled on the shrubs around your new home. I'd likely think someone was trying to scare me or threatening my family, lol. Nope, just the local birds.
Their German name is "Neuntöter"(nine-murderer) or "Rotrückenwürger"(red-backed strangler) and I think these names are pretty unsettling. When I was in 1st grade and we learned about local flora and fauna I was creeped out and fascinated by those birds.
There is a scene in both the Books and Children's TV Show of "The Animals of Farthing Wood" that feature these birds grabbing a bunch of mice and impaling them on thorns. In the TV Show it is only a quick showing of the mice on the thorns, but it is quite a gruesome scene with blood dripping from the bodies, onto the branches, and further dripping down. The scene of the mice running away and screaming as they are caught, carried away, and dropped is quite a bit longer. This scene/ situation is probably one of the most gruesome scenes depicted in both the Book & TV Show.
Was one of the main characters a badger? because I think I might have seen that too Never mind, I just googled it It was the one I saw as a kid, as well
As mentioned in the video, there's a totally unrelated type of bird in Australia that uses the same method to deal with its prey, also called a Butcher Bird (Cracticus torquatus is one of the seven Australian species, the best looking). They too, are really beautiful in form and sound, great mimics, like their close cousins, the Australian Magpie (again, no relation to the Northern Hemisphere magpie). They are not endangered as we've made an environment that suits them and brings plenty of prey so meals can be easily got. While they do occasionally spike their prey, they mostly use the crook of a tree as a larder. And they are so beautiful to look at. There was one sitting on my fence just a day or so ago, outside my office window.
Cracticus and Lanius are both in the infraorder Corvides, but no more closely related than that. I consider the entire infraorder Corvides to be unclean, and the rest of the passerines clean. Besides the crow (עורב), which is in the Foul Fowl List, the infraorder contains the pitohui (poisonous), the shrikes, the vangas and helmetshrikes, the birds of paradise, and various others.
The shrike is one of my favourite birds to photo shoot during the summer. Just like the loggerhead shrike, the red-backed shrike searches for its prey very openly, perfectly posing for you. And once they have kids they're even easier to find, because their young sound like the whiniest kid in the mall.
The Loggerhead Shrike is the bird that got me into Ornithology as a kid. I was out fixing loose sections of barbed wire fence on my parents farm and I noticed a ton of grasshoppers impaled on the barbs. I asked my dad what was responsible for it and he told me it was a butcher bird. I was so fascinated. I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen a bird do!
I forgot what these birds were called so when I was watching Hannibal for the first time several years ago, I was like “wtf is a shrike” and then I was reminded of these deeply violent little impalers lmao.
samee i just found out about them watching hannibal for the first time lol i never would’ve known about a murderess little bird if it wasn’t for the minnesota shrike, man i love hannibal
@@MarigoldFoxMama would be nice. I’ve actually looked into it before but unfortunately not many in my area as it is and jobs are so hard to come by here. Especially in wildlife conservation. I’ll keep trying and doing what I can to help though!
Vlad the Impaler: Birb edition A video on the short tailed shearwaters please. Their migratory path is impressive. From Alaska to Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia, with a trip to Antarctica waters to feed. If budgets allow, filming at Phillip Island would be *chef's kiss * and you guys filmed there for the Little Penguins episode years ago.
wow- 'shrike' is the name of a terrifying entity in the an amazibg book series 'Hyperion Cantos' by Sci-Fi author Dan Simmons... amazing to make the connection i was not aware of... made my day!
Yasssss!!! There is a mention as to why the shrike is named the shrike in the book they compare these birds to the act of the shrike taking some of its victims in a pending it to the tree and lasting eternity stuck to the tree if it doesn't outright kill you first those are the lucky ones it's the ones where they didn't find the bodies that are thought to be impaled on the tree
Since we're talking literature - there are also the "Shrykes" from the Edge Chronicles by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell, and they're a species of vicious bird people that also endulge into brutal killing methods.
@@activatekruger446 This thing travels through space and time instantaneously, no one really knows its purpose aside from snatching people, and putting them in the "Tree of pain" in which you get impaled to, feel most of the pain and you prevents you from dying.
In Maharashtra, India we see some common shrikes like the Great Grey Shrike, Bay-backed Shrike & Long-tailed Shrike. The local people here call these birds as 'खाटीक' (Khaateek) in Marathi. This translates to 'Butcher' in English.
My dad was just telling me about this bird a few days ago because I play dead by daylight and the game reminded him of this bird :) Now I see why, brutal game and a brutal bird
Where I live there are many Red-backed Shrikes. Awesome birds! Super useful here because they catch Mole crickets witch damage vegetables. Once our cat ate their young.Both parent birds did not hesitate to continually attack her for 15min or so even if the young were already gone. True feathered warriors!
This inspired an idea of a butcherbird who satisfies their impaling prey tendencies by pinning and mounting insects on their walls for their entomology
I have a request from myself and my nephew! We'd like to learn about snake eating birds in North America, especially the upper Plains states. He heard about roadrunners from me, and secretary birds, but then he discovered there may be OWLS that also specialize in killing snakes!!! Even if that's not quite accurate, I'd be fascinated to learn more!
The Shrike stood at least three meters tall. Even when it was at rest, the silvered surface of the thing seemed to shift and flow like mercury suspended in midair. ]The light[ reflected from sharp surfaces and glinted on the curved metal blades protruding from the thing's forehead, four wrists, oddly jointed elbows, knees, armored back, and thorax.
There is an incredible book series called The Hyperion Cantos that has a character based on the behavior of the shrike, though if you think the bird itself is grotesque you might not want to read it lol, it's not a bird and it's prey are people, and the thorns it impales them upon keep them alive for eternity while causing unlimited pain, and the tree of thorns involved (called the Tree Of Pain) has millions to billions of individual and occupied thorns. It's an incredible story but not for the faint of heart lol.
In the first (second also perhaps) yes. Terifying and mysterious monster. In book 3 and 4 though 🤦🏼♂️… the Shrike gets nerfed and reduced to a plot armor for the main characters
In Australia, we also have birds named magpies, although I believe they're not at all related. Their warble is a wonderful wide-ranging sound, they're great mimics and some can be trained to mimic human voices. They are everywhere, having found urban areas very much to their liking, They have become sporting club mascots, which is one of their greatest problems, especially the Collingwood Magpie supporters, the a-hole equivalent here.
I didn't expect the video to mention it but I've written this anyway. Australia has it's own Butcherbird. There are two genera of Butcherbirds in Australia, Melloria, and Cracticus. Their predatory, butchering, and larder keeping behaviour is similar to that of the Butcherbird in this video. Australian Butcherbirds also sing very well, almost as well as the Nightingale. Australian Butcherbirds are only distantly related to Shrikes, indeed Australian birds in general are very distantly related to birds on other continents.
I first heard of the shrike/butcher bird from Steve Reviews' review of the British 90's animated TV series called "The Animals of Farthing Wood" and it instantly became my favorite species of bird.
I learned about these birds from some youtuber that used them for the reason to talk about a sci-fi alien race that has some kind of tree that follows it and has a symbiotic relationship with it.
You kno whats funny? Two years ago, I tried really _really_ hard to get a video about shrikes made, but Animalogic claimed that they weren't going to do it because the _memes would be too bad._ Thank you for coming around.
Yay! I love shrikes ever since I did a project on them for school. No one ever really talks about them, so I didn't expect to see a Animalogic video on it 😁
They are extremely adaptive to their environments. Where I'm from, shrikes have learned to impale their prey on barbed wires. We often keep them around to control pests around our house
May Have found my new favorite media to put myself to sleep with.. Something so calming about this one? People seem so shocked but my other favorite channel is the 1 where all the animals are either owls or kestrels in their nests with their babies?
I'd like to see something on the Desert Iguana. I live in a very hot part of southern AZ. We have them visible here during the very hot months of June - August. They're here year round, of course, but they are not as active or visible during the rest of the year. They are under represented in research I believe. It's not hard to find very basic information on them, but not much is available in depth. They fascinate me.
Damn...I'm gonna need one of those Animal Logic Montage Posters. That is just an amazing piece of art. When you see it, you _have_ to stare at it for minutes, to try cataloging all the individual animals it features. Best way to make this work is to buy it as a Christmas Gift for the Crazy Lady I Live With. And yes, that's how I _always_ refer to her in text, and she's well aware of it. 😆
I remember as a kid, I am most fascinated by this Bird and how they hunt and and pale their prey in braches or wires. It's definitely something like out of a movie seeing a "small bird" kill their prey and impale then on a spiky branch, for everyone else to see.
in dutch we say clap magpie and it lives in belgium, we saw it in a documentary of our small countrie and it ecosystems and the sound of this animals clap is used in video games that clapping flying bird is from this bird

Dang, and for kids too
Maybe a bit more brutal that they need at that age
The mice that were impaled were named cast members, too. They were not anonymous background parts.

In the Philippines, they go by various names, "Tarat" for their calls and "Mamumugot" (the impaler), "Berdugo" (the executioner) for their behaviour.
lol "Sparrow" po ang "tarat", ibang ibon to lods
Nah, mamumugot is not "impaler" it's decapitator.

My parents own a condo down in Florida there’s a cow pasture nearby surrounded by a barbed wire fence and strikes use it to impale insects.
