    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.

    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.

    • @pierreabbat6157
      @pierreabbat6157 2 года назад

      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.

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.

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 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.

    Shrikes are like bird of prey, without the hooked talons.

    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 😁

    Do they hunt any pest species? Setting up a perimeter of thorny bushes around farmlands to house them and deter other interlopers seems pretty handy.

    The clips you are showing from various shrikes are amazing and terrifying.

    I don't like how she keeps saying things like it being aggressive. It's not "pent up aggression" - it's hunting for food

    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.

    I saw them as a child and young man, but now they are gone along with many other bird Species. This is so sad.

    I see Loggerhead Shrikes all the time in my part of Miami, Florida. Didn't know they were a tad rare in some parts!

    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.
