I think he actually knows why the chicken crossed the road..
Ok
The followup we need.
He’ll never tell you
The chicken is actually dead, and is crossing to the other side. I thought this was common knowledge by now?
And if it came before the egg
Do I know anything about birds? No.
Do I have an interest in birds? No.
Did I watch this entire video and was super invested the entire time? Yes.
All except the last part for me
Did anyone ask? No
@@canyadigit6274 are you funny? Yes
Is it birds? No. Is it bOrds? Yes.
@@maniakid don't let the grammar police know
I love how at the end he says 'Happy Birding'
I appreciate him thinking I will bird, I will not, but it was so thoughtful and sweet
Thoughtful and tweet*
@@posepause8703 yes yes yes
You really should
If you see any ol' random bird and think, "Cute bird," congratulations, you're birding! Welcome to the family. :)
@@JillKnapp i don’t bird, however i will lay my life down for a group of chinese painted quails (i think) near me hahahaha they’re so funny and egg shaped
I like how he got slightly defensive when the question said birds were stupid😂💜 "-try finding yourself somewhere without GPS"
I noticed that too haha!
I loved that response, that's a true ornithologist right there defending birds against Twitter idiots!
@@liversuccess1420 misread that as orthodontist
Even with advanced GPS, I'm still trying to find myself... maybe someday
Birds are so fascinating. I could sit in front of this dude like a six-year-old asking bird questions for hours.
Same!
Same!
Yes! With my legs crossed sitting on the floor raising my hand up after every question before asking the next one.
I don't have much interest in birds. But this dude, with his expertise, his cuteness and his excitement made me spend 15 learning a lot of things I didn't know I needed. I love this series.
You actually do have much interest in birds.
get a room
I have found that anyone can make you interested in anything if they are properly educated and have enough passion on a topic.
Why so many comments like “I don’t like birds, but watched...”
Who doesn’t like birds?!?!? They’re awesome!!!
Literally gravity-defying dinosaurs, and yet we hear and see them everyday and think nothing of it, lol
seriously! I took a whole class on birds in college, one of my fave courses
@@tasnimjackson5709 College has a class dedicated to birds?
@@ezekielx5 My college did. It was an elective called Biology of Birds.
Sheldon Cooper wants to know your location.
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.
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
Not sure if "brilliant teacher" qualifies for a teacher that would not give the answer on an educational video :P
I really love the additional use of stock images/videos/audios to help illustrate the expert's explanation. I hope WIRED continues to do this in future videos!
Yes exactly
“How do birds not get cold. I feel like they need a jacket.” 😂
I thought he was going to address penguin, duck, and geese feet but he focused on the downy feathers. Little Penguins have a reduced sensitivity in their feet so when there's a fire they could step on hot embers and burn their feet but not feel it when they walk over the embers.
I am not opposed to seeing a Cardinal in Minnesota wearing a little sweater or hoodie, that would be adorable
He did get one thing wrong. The loudest bird is actually my pet cockatoo when I don't open the blinds in front of her cage before the sun comes up.
Goodness. A lot of very early mornings for you!
You got me there. Thought you were going to mansplain birds to a bird expert 😬
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!
Also ducks and geese have what kind of looks like "teeth" called lamellae and / or tomia.
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
@@pho3nix- Yeah, I was wondering about that. Geese can BITE, not just peck!
also imagine a bird with teeth, sounds creepy asf
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.
This man is so cute and his enthusiasm is infectious! I love the Tech Support series and this is one of my favourites so far. Maybe you could have him on again to talk about ecology, or rate bird scenes in movies? idk would love to see him again!
I think this ep is such a perfect example of why I love this series...when your job is so hyprrspecialised generally you gotta love that thing! And there's nothing more fun than listening to someone talk about something they are passionate about ❤️
Unless they're a whale biologist ;)
Birds are so fascinating. I love watching them when they’re in a huge flock. Also I love goose honks ☺️
I like how Sahas Barve elaborated each of his questions in depth, unlike some of the other presenters we've seen in these videos. I fully grasped the concept of each explanation. Thanks!
Anyone else love the way he says "boirds"? :) Love these videos and learning outside of my interests!
Me too.
sounds like birbs to me
When I was in college, there were two Canadian geese outside the door of the cafeteria. They were honking angrily and were trying to get in. I think they knew there was food in there.
the twitter questions in this episode are some of the best ones asked throughout the Tech Support series!! Many are concise but can spark your genuine interest in the topic, and some are so simple that they sound like children's wonders or shower thoughts that everybody once had
These were actually really worthwhile bird questions.
As an avid bird watcher,this video is such a treat!
This was such a good episode! As a bird enthusiast, I learned so many cool facts. 😃
Please, bring this guy back! I love to listen to him talking about birds :D
Can we PLEASE GET SEVERAL MORE VIDEOS OF THIS I loved it so much
I can't believe no one asked what the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow was.
What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
11:14 that "I don't know" such a chill pill
I absolutely adore the way he says bird
This guy did such a fantastic job explaining bird knowledge. Makes me want to go birding for the first time!
And I still can't believe Wired got Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't to do the video for botany 'tech support.' You guys are killing it.
Patiently waiting for part 2. Sahas was great.
Love birds. Sitting in the back yard, early spring and just watching species after species passing through is fascinating and calming.
If you really want to see them in action try hiding fruit, veggies ect in enrichment toys and watch how they interact and get the food out. They are very inquisitive animals and very curious and will always check them out if there’s food in them
Wow i listened to this guys talk at iiser in india he has come a long way! Great to see him do popular science. This is the dream for me, even i am pursuing a career in ecology. What we need next is bug support!! 😁🦗🐞
ruclips.net/video/y62n5lkLBs4/видео.html here it is!
There's insect support
for all the folks who don't like birds, try putting a bird feeder beside a window! I love watching all the different little song birds and how curious they are, looking in the window and checking things out 😂
The whole time i was waiting for him to address the 3 birds lying in front of the table...
Tech support is easily becoming my favourite series on RUclips
One more comment: I was walking to my car in a parking lot at night and a barn owl flew right over me, very close. I could see all the details of his feathers etc. He was totally silent. It was amazing. I love birds
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."
@@rfrolicarts the owl that flew over my head was going pretty slow. It’s amazing how their feathers allow them to make no noise.
I know he meant a bird guide book when he said "Your bird guide will tell you.." but I like to picture a person who's knowledgeable about birds being hired as somebody's "bird guide" for any bird related questions. I'd love that job.
But is he an expert in bird law?
Only if he goes by the name Harvey as a second persona 😂
Yes.
bird law?? what?
@@treebles ruclips.net/video/qcderLXiwa8/видео.html
@@DevjKaiser or Charlie
Of all my favorite bird sounds, I didn't think anything could top a mourning dove's call... but Sahas saying "bird" may have just taken first place. My heart is about to explode. :)
i could watch this gentleman talk about birds for a very long time
This gentleman is SO engaging and fun. Thanks for your sharing your love of birds!
Wow, I had no idea that birds basically have build in glasses in their eyes, which they can just activate to keep the wind out of their eyes. Epic.
Loved this, Wired! He is so fun to watch! Would love to see him back in the future! 🦉
Please do another one of these! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I actually love this! I studied Zoology, so it was cool hearing someone talk about birds! But I also learnt alot too!
really? I was disappointed in his lack of knowledge & wrong info
@@mehere8038 can you tell me what was the wrong info so I can learn
@@miao7002 replying so I'll know too!
I don't have a particular interest in birds but this was fascinating. Thanks for sharing and I'd be happy to see this guy again!
3:08 "I can follow my finger without turning..."
- Proceeds to turn his body AND head 😂
He's great!
There should be a Wired class room where it's random teachers each day 🤣
The “shut up geese!” guy killed me. 🤣
Yes! I remember asking specifically for this a while back!
You did it
This has been really interesting! I felt like a little kid gobbling on all those fun facts and always waiting for more.
Is anybody else absolutely in love with the way he pronounces "bird" sort of like "bord?" It's adorable! 🥰 I love accents (and of course have one myself, when speaking foreign languages.)
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you WIRED and Mr Barve!
The natural world never ceases to amaze me
I love this guy, I already want him to come back. Bird people are the best!
i really appreciate when Dr Barve says "we don't know how xyz works"
well he doesn't maybe, but the stuff he's describing there IS known
Wired are killing it with these videos
This is so interesting! Love watching this gentleman answering all the questions~
Love birds, and love the video! Thank you for making and posting this.
One of the most likable guys on this channel
This was one of the most educational episodes!!
Came here after listening to his presentation for a tenured position at cal poly Humboldt 😁 this is great
+1 for Merlin. Has been really useful as I've started spotting birds, etc.
Great presentation Mr. Barve. Thank you.
Merlin is nice, but don't let it become a crutch!
I love these vids especially the ones with subject I didn't think I cared about. Now I care.
Definitely one of the better videos of this type (*-support). Well done.
Bird Questions Part 2 requested :D Thanks Sahas for answering the questions.
WE NEED MORE OF THESE
I have a bird that is more like a companion than a pet. It's so cool to hear his passion paired with knowledge. Cool video. Birds are underrated.
Finally, someone answered all the questions I had about birds for so many years 🤔
Was never disappointed by this series 💯👍
I love birds and bird watching so watching this is like taking a class and it's awesome
Living for this! Great video!
What a fun episode! Encore! More birds asap!
I feel like he just kinda glossed over the fact that BIRDS CAN NAVIGATE BY THE STARS
He glossed over & didn't seem to know a lot of stuff about birds actually
@@mehere8038 he was answering the questions, not giving a full lesson on each
@@acornautumn9927 Been ages since I watched, so I can't give an example right now, but no, that's not what he was doing, his bird knowledge is just extremely limited! It was apparent with a lot of his answers
@@mehere8038 it seems you say this sort of thing on a lot of expert q&as… what’s your opinion on Dr. Dunning and Kruger lol!
@@mehere8038 You're always commenting negative crap on these type of videos. Begone!
Loved it!! Amazingly informative and curious!!❤
Please bring him back!! This was extremely informative!
i love this person! So knowledgeable and made it funny too! Amazing!
4:32 it's aerodynamic advantage. Yes!!! I feel smart 😂
This guy is awesome. I could watch him talk about birds for hours.
thank you Sahas. this was the best video ever. im about to share this with my friends
Was about to say how cute and informative this guy is at the same time, then I read the comments! We must protect this man! WIRED, give us more of Sahas, please!
This guy is great! I hope they have him on again.
This was super helpful to watch! Thanks!
Birds are the best! I've two parakeets and they're so smart and funny! And absolutely adorable 🥰
I like the way he says bird and he says bird a lot.
I was at the park the other day and saw a couple geese in a pond. A few minutes later when we couldn’t see the pond, we heard the geese being very loud. Then we passed someone walking their dog. They said their dog tried to get in the pond and was chased out by the geese.
Also, his enthusiasm and how he explained things made this really interesting.
This guy was the bomb! Learned a lot.
Smart how they acquire charismatic professionals to keep us interested and invested.
I love watching a real expert talk about their thing. #BirdBoss
Ive been waiting for this one soon bad!
I watched the whole thing and I wasn’t planning on it so good job. :)
So interesting! I think birds are fascinating and it’s always fun to learn more.
Loved the pygmy owl visual aid ^_^ We get them in western Wyoming where I live, I've heard them calling but never seen one in daylight.
Excellent presentation
Thank you
Birds are easily one of the coolest types of dinosaurs. They are brilliant, they have adapted to basically all environments, they can fly unlike any other dinosaurs and they are insanely diverse.
Insanely intelligent as well.. at least the corvid family is.
@@jrmckim the psattiformes order also has an eclectic assortment of highly intelligent avians who have the capacity to produce complex vocalization, and more advanced members like the African Grey parrot have been trained to understand abstract concepts and impressions!
@@jrmckim Adding onto the comment above: Parids (chickadees etc.), mimids (mockingbirds etc.), vultures, caracaras, hornbills, and toucans are all fairly intelligent as well. :)
Awesome video! A million thanks to Sahas and wired !
I love how he said "bird support" as "board support" 🤣❤️
"bord"
I will now call them "borbs" instead of birds or birbs
Oh my gosh. I’m an amateur birder (ok I have a group of crows I feed every week), and I had no idea they could navigate by the stars?? I love them even more now!
This one was great, i learned a lot.
I love birds, they are so interesting! Thank you for this video ❤️
this is so short.. i need more videos, its so interesting
