The dead pan delivery of... "mud is not a popular soup ingredient" just got me 😂

@Denis Ashby It baffles the mind but it actually is, Bird's Nest Soup is a whole thing.
The craftsmanship of birds is extraordinary. These little dinosaurs are so complex in how they manipulate their surroundings. It does amuse me how its seen as impressive for primates to build nests, when birds do the same but in far more complex and intricate ways, even if its mostly down to instinct. The fact theyre so diverse in their craftmanship is also astounding.
I was literally thinking while watching the video, that we lost the inspiration birds once gave us. I'd love to hide myself in a sock shaped tree hut instead of just another concrete slab.
@@DarkAngelEU agreed.
Some really great information! With the mallee fowl nest, you were right the chick's hatch and are self sufficient and the parents are not around, but during the whole incubation period the parents are constantly adding and removing sand to keep the temperature perfect.
That's really interesting, thanks! I find the whole altrical/precocial thing fascinating
Aww I love the cute little bird reviews on the ad. "The lichen camouflage is next level, several cats have walked right past my nest" 😂
That transition to the sponsor was silky smooth. Great video. Well done.
this is one of the best contents out there. hope you gain more subscribers!
Thank you so much!
Please make more content on birds! I love them!! Thank you!
I have pet weavers! (Orange Bishop weavers)Their nests really are extremely intricate, we give them twine and watch them weave it in and out like they are following a pattern. It’s also cool to know that they are born with the knowledge of how to weave their nests. We also have a bunch of canaries, they are also born knowing how to sing specific songs.
&yLand, look at bird bath
I loved this video. The sheer complexity and variety of nests never ceases to amaze me.
Similarly I'd love to see a video about courtship rituals in birds/other animals!! On a similar track, perhaps one to do with homosexuality in the animal kingdom (its a very fascinating topic that I don't think gets talked about enough- which sort of makes it difficult to research actually haha)
But I love seeing whatever you make as someone who has a great interest in ecology/zoology/ornithology etc.
Thank you so much! That's a great idea! I'll add them to the list!
@@Textbooktravel Uhhhhmmmmm... that penguin is demonstrating white male privilege and we try to avoid toxic behaviour like that. Delete it immediately-- THANKS!!

I have been searching for a video like this for so long. Thank you 🙏
My pleasure! Thanks for watching :)
Why?
Very comprehensive and entertaining at the same time. And loved the chosen images! Nature never stops to amaze me
The self-incubating nest is truly amazing. I had never even heard of that before I watched this video.
BEST PRODUCT PLACEMENT EVER OMG I WAS NOT PREPARED!!!

Thanks for your time and for sharing the knowledge with us. Very peaceful too. ✌️
Such an interesting topic! I honestly love this channel, it's so informative and I'm always excited when a new vid drops. Great work!

Awesome video!! thank you so much for the content!
Love the squarespace plug, by the way😂
That was brilliantly done and a joy to watch :)
This video is wonderfully put together like all your videos are. Wishing you 100K subs soon, the floating nests were my fav
Great footage and research all round! Loved the burrowing owls and their fascinating cavity nest. Having just created a nest video also, I can tell plenty of hours has gone into producing this entertaining and informative video 🦢
THIS WAS HELPFUL. WELL SAID. LEARNED ALOT ABOUT HOW SOME TYPES OF BIRDS BUILD NESTS. A MUST SEE.❤
It's crazy that birds aren't taught how to do this
Thank you very much for this video👍👏👏👏
I didn't know that some birds could weave/ build this insane looking nests, such architects😲😮😲🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
3:02 our national bird, the Hornero and cotorritas :D 💙🤍💙
So happy for the success of the channel. One of the most informative and interesting videos I have seen. Thanks so much

A great video of a lively lake Amazing avian audio calls make a perfect sound track .Your detailed filming of the Pelicans is superb .Many thanks for sharing .Enjoy your week 👍👏🏻Greetings from Berlin , Helena .
Keep up your excellent videos this was a orginial idea
Jeroen van der Meijden, look at bird bath
Real cool, thanks for sharing with us big dog
I wonder how much of the nest building techniques are hard-wired vs learned. It seems like there is probably a preponderance on the hard-wired side, which is both an amazing feat of nature, but also evolutionarily risky, in terms of potential overspecialization.
Oh boy... this has sent me down the innate vs learned behaviours rabbit hole!! Haha! That would make for a very interesting video, thanks!
@@Textbooktravel Please do! :D
fascinating and beautiful. I am very happy I tried this video because this was a great vid. Beautiful to see so many complex shapes. I can only imagine what humans would have thought of these structures when they first found them.

Wonderful Video.
Thanks for your brilliant content.
Thanks, Adrian! Hope you're doing well, have a great week :)
Very fascinating. Thank you for sharing!

Can we get a song bird video??
I know there's a ton of species but the most interesting ones? They're so cool
Totally! I started looking at bird groups over the weekend... this is going to take years! Haha! A video on the different types of songbird call would be fascinating. Thanks for commenting!
Great vid
Very good video, keep making the same quality content
How amazing 😍😍 it is
really good
Incredible!

Yes I need to watch this now instead of looking for a job.
African swallows have a mud nest with a tunnel entrance which probably deserves a mention too.
Nice, but I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of white tern in the No Nest category
Elohim created beauty and perfection!!
In my town there's a small dam with a tiny island made up of a single tree with a bunch of weaver nests on it.
So cool! I had no idea there were edible bird nests

I don't know what brough me here or why this video was recommended. But I see Wingspan in a whole different light now.
Wow
The best nest I ever saw in my life was that of a pigeon. Two twigs on a window and done 😂.
Yes, I have a matting pair of Gila Woodpeckers that live in my area. They have multiple nests. A Saguaro accross the street, a 25ft high palm tree in my backyard and last spring, the male and I had a bit of an issue when he was trying to apparently build a new nest in the back of my house! He caught on when I would caulk up his work...4 times!
Last spring, they has 2 eggs. That means for around a month, I had one dead chick in my yard. The siblings apparently fight for all the attention...to the death!!! The remaining one screech from sun up to sun down for weeks! So much so, I got to the point to checking if the birds are protected. They are. Protected under s migratory bird act...even though they don't migrate. Yea, our govt at work as usual.
Since it's about that time of the year.... Ive been playing alarm calls and drumming when they are by the palm tree. I wouldn't of course hurt them. I may have offered a cat in the area s 40 pound tuna should it encounter one. That screeching....not cool. That and the killing of siblings. Bit of a dick move.
Genius

@@BirdBath1 sick!
Bowerbirds are very cool. The Vogelkop Bowerbird for instance lives in Papua New Guinea. Part of their population lives on a mountain. Another part lives in the valley. The two communities of bird are genetically identical, and yet, each community builds completely different bower structures and have different tastes with regard to decoration. That's right. Bird cultures within the same species, bird architecture even! TLDR: Same birds, different tastes in architecture and aesthetic design. Culture outside of humanity.
What I find amazing is that Megapodes build nests very similar to crocodilians and sea turtles
0:46-1:00 the cup nests are just like me😓🤣
The moment i found out what the birds nest is made of in birds nest soup i don't want to try it anymore 😂

Nice! I went to Switzerland when I was younger and one of the most vivid memories for me was the stork nests on the top of the buildings :)
15:36 Becky, Lemme smaash
But very impressive! I really think if there were no K-T Extinction, I think birds would have replaced humans
I would put pigeons as an honorable mention.
Nice bird🐦🐦🐦🐧🐧🐧🦅🦅👩✈️

Can you do a video on the shorebirds (order Charadriiformes)?
That would be an interesting one! Thanks!
One of those Peregrine Falcon nests was dusted in what was very clearly lorikeet feathers... don't think that ended well for the lorikeet.
You must not have had Baldricks famous mud soup.

Could you please do a video on the different species of Australian gliders?
the prehistoric HUBERT, look at bird bath
Also, the white fairy tern that lays an egg on a branch. Just… on a branch, no nest at all.
the fact that a part of the world thought a nest made of bird spit was useful as a soup ingredient. this confused and impressed me. listen up kids, it's popular to eat the snot of birds in soup so eat your boogers they're good for you. lol
Textbook Travel. Do the genus of Honey Badgers, wolverines, skunks and Badger. Every time I see a snunk it reminds me of a honey Badger.
Altagracia Adames, look at bird bath
I wonder if the most complicated nests are built by the smartest birds? Or is it totally programmed by instincts.
not all nest types; Streptopelia orientalis creates flat nests resembling a monier iron. But a nice compilation

"[Barn swallow] nests are built over a period of one to two weeks" meanwhile one of the nests on my back porch got built in 4 days. Shit, why can't I hire that bird as a contractor?
Heelo people.

Just like a man to build an entire home put of spit whole a woman collects silk from a spider that's probably able to kill it.
The chad no nest at all
Mud is not a popular soup ingredient, but bird spit, yeah man that’s like natures bullion

How does nest building work in homosexual swan pairs? That's an interesting topic, since a lot of swan pairs are homosexual. I assume one of them is just decided to be material collector and the others the weaver, but which one? And if it is like then it means nest building isn't a totally instinctual behaviour, but it involves conscious thought as well.

FatGuyWithAKatana, look at bird bath
1:30 Does that bird not have a body? why?
It does. The reason you can only see the head is because the parents bury the eggs and abandon them, just like some reptiles. The bird head is simply just a baby maleo trying to dig out.
@@randomkinkajou5747 makes sense, weird picture to use but ok, could have uses a duck or ratite though.
@@CMZneu take a nap
@@CMZneu Ducks and ratites don't bury their eggs underground though, although kiwis do lay their egg in a burrow.
@@anserbauer309 I know but they are talking about altricial and precocial young, just saying there are less extreme examples like ducks.
