Fun fact about the cuckoo: since egg ≠ egg they actually evolved into many subspecies, each of them specilized in coping a certain different species of bird in terms of egg design.

Oh boy, you don't even know the half of it. When I was 2 my parents brought me to a state park to "feed the birds". This asshole nicknamed Sam the Pelican decided he didn't want the bread I was trying to feed him. No, Sam wanted flesh, human flesh. This asshole tried to toss my 2 year old self into his mouth. I was told that I was saved when my sister that "loves all animals" turned into a place kicker and tried scoring a field goal with the bird. Fuck pelicans.
When I was like 2-4 years old my cousin dared me to pet a stork with it's pink chick. I did as he said and that bastard started chasing me until my dad tackled it. I almost got crippled to a fuckin bird
5:29 There's also a story about how Aeschylus was permanently living outdoors because of a prophecy that he would be killed by a house falling onto him, adding even more irony to the fact that he was killed by a turtle in its shell (the shell serving as a built-in house/shelter for the turtle) dropped from the sky by those birds.

I'm surprised he didn't add in the Kea, a parrot in New Zealand that was seen rarely attacking and killing sheep by ripping out their back muscles and waiting until they die of infection or become too weak to move. Though it happens very rarely, it's still extremely brutal.
He did talk about them in his video about which animals have the most black air force energy. In the same video, he also talked about their bad habit of stealing from humans and even vandalizing cars.
Whenever someone tries to tell you feathered dinosaurs aren't "cool" or "scary", just remember birds *are* living theropod dinosaurs. These guys are just continuing the family tradition.
You know, the scary part is that you're probably right, these behaviors didn't come from nowhere. I say this because many birds do a sort of mating dance that involves scratching the ground. They've found similar scratches near the fossilized footprints of theropod dinosaurs where there was a gathering of them, scaled up to their size of course. This means birds have carried on some of these traditions since they were giant and still had teeth. And that's well over 65 million years.

Pelicans: “Anything’s food if you’re motivated enough” Shrikes: “Anything can be impaled like some kind of hell kabob if you’re motivated enough” Adelie penguins: “The ground do be looking thicc tho-“
The Shoebill is like the bird equivalent of a guy who just wants a peaceful life, but their family are mobsters, so people either avoid them completely, or treat them super 'nice' for safeties sake.
Honestly I find the Golden Eagle's hunting methods of yeeting their targets and letting gravity do the work to actually be respectable because not only does it break the bones for easier consumption, it provides a much sturdier surface to eat on
I love how he can talk about animals in the most non boring way and the way this guy says that something get clapped is limitless this man is literally a walking pokedex but for real life god after watching pokemon was like "hmmm I should make it so the people understand and know about animals more oh yeah I'll literally make a walking pokedex."
Based on marks on their skulls, some scientists reckon Tyrannosaurus bit each others faces while copulating. Given how strong their bite was estimated to be I find it somewhat concerning.
As soon as I heard the Shrike was a relative of Blue Jays I understood. Blue Jays have been known to kill other bird's eggs. Seen a few robin eggs on ths ground due to blue Jays in my childhood. Even hatched babies.
Your humor just hits my soul in all the right ways. It’s so clean and transitions so smoothly and makes me ugly laugh in the dark as I watch my phone.

Keep up the great work and thank you for your amazing content.
An interesting fact is that Giant Petrels are so aware of Adélie Penguins being aggressive, that they will actively avoid them at all costs. There’s actually a small bit from a BBC documentary about Emperor Penguins that demonstrates this.
To be fair, would you want to take one of those things on? Imagine you’re hunting, catch an adelie, and his friends show up and start screwing it while you’re eating it.

As a parrot owner, I can confirm birds have no morality My bird shits on me, steals my food, screams 24/7 and gets offended when i touch him when he asks for attention
As a chicken owner, I concur. Once, a hen broke her toe and her sisters tried to murder her by pecking a hole in the top of her head. I separated her and she recovered even though I could see the top of her skull. Another time, two roosters fought a deathmatch for the entire day (not a typical cockfight, but a full-on, peck the other's brains out until exhaustion took them both). The smaller rooster won even though he had never developed spurs and lost an eye in the battle. And since my roosters and hens are kept apart, the dominant roosters have their way with their lesser brothers, and the lesser ones have their way with the ground. Although, Kas preferred my left boot.
@@WanderingYankee I had a ringneck dove as a pet growing up. He had his way with socks, shoes, feet, hands and sometimes just the carpet. But his favorite was feet, especially if said feet were busy walking. He'd chase after them trying to hump them and sometimes get kicked, which only excited him more and caused him to double down his efforts. My parents tried getting him a girlfriend, but he just beat the tar out of her. No sex, just violence. He lived for 24 years until he died choking on a piece of corn, his favorite food.

Hey man fun fact, Australia has a totally different type of Butcher Bird! And the Wedge Tail Eagle has zero natural enemies or fear, so they attack 18 wheelers. No joke, Western Australia, especially outback WA, is home to the apex predator of the skies. I've driven by a Wedge Tail and its head was the same height as the car. To fly, it needed to run down the road until it generated enough lift and it's wingspan was well over 10 feet. The image of that dinosaur bush chook will be burner into my mind for the rest of my life.
@@horrificpleasantry9474 Impressive lizard! Pretty sure the Burrunjor turned into Bungarra though. There is a dreaming story about that from the Northern Lands
Yeah, from what I've seen even penguins' main predators avoid adeles. I once saw a video of a giant petrol targeting a group of like 8 or so emperor penguin chicks, all mostly grown and bigger than it, which did that defensive circle thing. Then a random adele penguin came across this scene and gave the giant petrol what for which quite quickly made the thing nope the fuck outta there. I remember like 90% of the comments just being about how "even the giant petrols know you don't fuck with adeles!" Seems they have... quite a reputation!
I've watched that and it's honestly one of my most favorite classics of animal vid in RUclips along with those group penguins at the end saying f*ck to the one who slipped and the adorable Owl chick who heard lightning for the first time.
They're known for being especially sassy. I read an account of a scientist being approached by an Adelie penguin and then being flipper-slapped repeatedly in the shins, and from what I understood, it wasn't out of character at all.
5:29 supposedly not the only bird projectile related death; one old rumour of Vlad the Impalers death said that while on horseback, an Eagle or Falcon dropped either a turtle or tortoise onto his head, killing him. I'm sure that was just hearsay, but it seems like death by Avian airdrop was a more common thing back then than it is now.
I grew up on the Gulf Coast. The gulls would drop oysters and clams onto the parking lots along the beaches here to bust them open. I hate gulls. Flying rats of the sea like pigeons are the flying rats of the cities. Not a fan of flying rats.
I have to say Pelicans are also helpful to some fishermen. They fallow the same bait balls of fish as the salmon do. So if you see Pelicans diving and circling an area, very good chance the Salmon coming into the bay, on the way to the river they spawn in, are also nearby. 😊
The biggest offense, at least to me personally, is seeing a Pelican trying to swallow/consume a Capybara pup. There are many reasons I hate Seagulls and Pelicans but seeing one attempt to do any level of harm to a Capy-pup is unforgivable.

Came down the comments just to see if anyone else knew about that. 😂😂😂 It's so precious. George Murray Levick*. He was the typical last of the Victorian English gentleman, well educated, well connected, gung ho for adventuring and all that. I remember reading how horrified he was at the "astonishing depravity" of "hooligan males" and that he only wrote down his observations in Greek. So that no one except an educated gentleman "would understand the horrors he had witnessed." Andy yeah, I'm quite sure the NHM of the day completely agreed with him on that! So they shoved it away in their vast storage areas. *he did a lot of interesting stuff to be fair, all pretty gung ho!
I've actually gone birding and keep tabs on the species in my neighborhood throughout the year. There are all kinds of rivalries and combats going on in the trees around my house. Blue jays and other crested species have always reminded me of the early flying reptiles and dinosaurs, and they are freaking aggressive for their size. Not afraid of my cats, the red-tail hawk a few blocks over, or the crows that pass through. They are cool with the mourning doves, though. Had a great horned owl but fortunately he moved on. They eat pets. I have pets. This creates a conflict.
Theres a joke about Joe Rogans shortness: 1 Rogan = 3.33 inches. At that rate it would take over 25 Joe Rogans to reach the same height as 1 Shaquille= 7'1". Rogans & Shaquilles 😂👌
We can most definitely judge animals by morality. Orcas and other animals in the dolphin family are smart enough to know they're inflicting suffering on others and it makes them happy.
I wouldn't say that, Even if they're empathetic enough to know that they're harming something that doesn't mean that they naturally have morals. They know they're hurting something, but they don't think of it as bad or good. They're amoral creatures.
I'm pretty impressed by the fact that your longer videos have different scripts than the shorter clips you post on tiktok and Instagram, despite basically being a recap/compilation of the same information.

hey 0:45 this bird is actually pretty nice At least not hostile to humans (there's one that even lets you pet it if you bow first, and if you don't it'll just fly to the other side of the enclosure) it may be scary but this dude Would see heaven
Actually, the shoebill stork is extremely friendly, despite it's appearance. Also, to greet it's friends, it lets out a sound like a machine gun. I can just imagine it now... "Breaking News. Gunfight breaks out near local zoo." Shoebill Stork: "Hey, Marcus! You good?"
Shoebills may be friendly to humans, but other than that, they do a lot of the same things pelicans do. And that includes making their own babies kill each other.
Remember kids, birds are just dinosaurs that got tired of the responsibilities that came with ruling the Earth and decided to sit back and watch instead. If they want their throne back they're most definitely reviving the Mesozoic franchise.

If I’m remembering this correctly the scientists that studied the Adelie penguins wrote down the more graphic of their discoveries in Ancient Greek, could be wrong and it was another ancient language, so that only scholars would read it since they thought it was to risqué to be published in English.
Story time: I absolutely hate pelicans. Living in Florida we see them constantly. But the tourists don't seem to understand how dangerous they really are. So there was this area literally called The Pier in St. Petersburg and in front of it for a long time was a kiosk that sold some souvenirs and crap. They also offered a "Feed the Pelicans" experience. You buy a tray of fish and stand on this podium with a staircase on the back. There's even a handy chain on the back. Remember that part. So we were leaving when I was like 13 or so and there was this flock of almost 20 pelicans gathered near the kiosk. These German people are paying the guy and their son, who might be about 8 gets on the top of the stairs. As soon as he gets up there all of the pelicans turn their heads. You see them rush over and they start clapping their beaks. The sound was terrifying. You ever see the exact moment before a bad decision is about to be made? The kid holds out the first fish and chaos erupts. These winged nightmares start jumping for it. He drops the fish which lands on the ground and they start fighting for it. The second one comes up and one pelican jumps up and almost grabs the kid's hand. If you don't know, they have a hook at the end of their beak. The kid screams and you see crimson in the air. Yeah. Happy feed the animal time is about turn into a trip to the ER. It gets worse. Three of the bastards have started walking around the back and slipped under the chain. Now this kid has fallen down, is screaming in pain from the combination of having his hand cut open and falling onto the podium, and the fish fell all over. The pelicans on the ground go berserk. They are now in full feeding frenzy mode. The three sneaky ones are now standing over the kid and they are eying him. They start to attack the kid. Like full on. This guy comes running with one of those huge push brooms and goes off. The guy running the kiosk slams the shutters and starts running away. Like he's making a run for it. The guy with the broom just starts swinging. Birds are flying into walls and across the sidewalks. Two other people grab sticks and join in while another throws a trash can at the scene. The parents grab their son and pull him out. My parents covered our faces right then so it must have been bad. Pelicans are not friendly animals. Don't feed them. They shut that shit down immediately. Turns out something similar had happened at least 4 other times but not this bad. They guy running it was supposed to stand at the foot of the stairs and just didn't feel like it.
A lot of people forget that wild animals are dangerous and that's the scary part. They expect human qualities to be reciprocated. For example, a woman raised a baby chimp and as adult it went crazy and ended up ripping her friends face off and having to be gunned down by police to stop it. Nature is not always nice.
I remember as a kid there was a drive-thru wildlife park in Texas called International Wildlife Park. One of my uncles took me and his kids. I remember a few sketchy moments but had agood time. Years later, the entire concept seemed so ridiculous that I almost felt like it was actually a false memory because they had hippos and lions roaming freely around people's vehicles. I looked it up and, yep, it really was once a thing but has been gone for some time now. I wonder how many bad incidents occurred there because they had to have...
@@fighterck6241 We went to Texas a few times when I was a kid and we almost went through that park. What stopped us was my mom seeing as sign, and it was huge, that they were not responsible for damage to your vehicle or injury sustained. My dad turned it around immediately.
@@thienbaonguyenuc5352 The only thing I know for sure is that it got shut down. Being as the family from that specific incident were tourists from Germany I don't know how a civil court would handle it. Plus the kiosk was a lease sort of thing, kind of like a store in the mall. If there was any legal or civil action it wasn't made public.
Some people say they want more nature documentaries voiced by Morgan Freeman, others say Snoop Dawg, purists swear by David Attenborough. For me however, I want Casual Geographic to voice one.
9:19 Funny story: When I was around 6 years old, I was at the zoo with my grandma. I then got too close to the pelican exhibit. The pelican saw and took the chance and then proceeded to try and "eat" me. It only managed to get to my neck at most and it didn't hurt, but my grandma sure got a scare. I was quite calm, probably didn't process the situation completely, I just said it was "kinda wet". Btw, hope y'all have a good day/night :)
The sections of Captain Scott's Journals relating to his observations on penguin behaviour during his Arctic Expedition was censored for over 100 years because the descriptions of the extremes the penguins went to in their unbridled lust were deemed far too scandalous for public consumption.
even with this cursed knowledge about the Adelie penguin at least I can rest knowing one Adelie bullied a giant Petrel as the petrel was about to commit genocide on some baby penguins
“ A wonderful bird is the pelican, His bill can hold more than his beli-can. He can take in his beak Food enough for the week; But I'm damned if I see how the heli-can.”

Whenever someone tries to tell you feathered dinosaurs aren't "cool" or "scary", just remember birds *are* living theropod dinosaurs. These guys are just continuing the family tradition.

Definitely stands to reason they're in a clade that literally has "terror" in Greek in its name.
You know, the scary part is that you're probably right, these behaviors didn't come from nowhere.
I say this because many birds do a sort of mating dance that involves scratching the ground. They've found similar scratches near the fossilized footprints of theropod dinosaurs where there was a gathering of them, scaled up to their size of course.
This means birds have carried on some of these traditions since they were giant and still had teeth. And that's well over 65 million years.

Once, a hen broke her toe and her sisters tried to murder her by pecking a hole in the top of her head. I separated her and she recovered even though I could see the top of her skull.
Another time, two roosters fought a deathmatch for the entire day (not a typical cockfight, but a full-on, peck the other's brains out until exhaustion took them both). The smaller rooster won even though he had never developed spurs and lost an eye in the battle.
And since my roosters and hens are kept apart, the dominant roosters have their way with their lesser brothers, and the lesser ones have their way with the ground. Although, Kas preferred my left boot.

Yeah, from what I've seen even penguins' main predators avoid adeles. I once saw a video of a giant petrol targeting a group of like 8 or so emperor penguin chicks, all mostly grown and bigger than it, which did that defensive circle thing. Then a random adele penguin came across this scene and gave the giant petrol what for which quite quickly made the thing nope the fuck outta there. I remember like 90% of the comments just being about how "even the giant petrols know you don't fuck with adeles!" Seems they have... quite a reputation!
Yeah don't fuck with them because they already want to do the same to you
The Adeles was probably expecting an orgy with those chick's afterwards and didn't want the bird to ruin it for them.
I've watched that and it's honestly one of my most favorite classics of animal vid in RUclips along with those group penguins at the end saying f*ck to the one who slipped and the adorable Owl chick who heard lightning for the first time.

I grew up on the Gulf Coast. The gulls would drop oysters and clams onto the parking lots along the beaches here to bust them open. I hate gulls. Flying rats of the sea like pigeons are the flying rats of the cities. Not a fan of flying rats.
I have to say Pelicans are also helpful to some fishermen. They fallow the same bait balls of fish as the salmon do. So if you see Pelicans diving and circling an area, very good chance the Salmon coming into the bay, on the way to the river they spawn in, are also nearby. 😊

Story time: I absolutely hate pelicans. Living in Florida we see them constantly. But the tourists don't seem to understand how dangerous they really are. So there was this area literally called The Pier in St. Petersburg and in front of it for a long time was a kiosk that sold some souvenirs and crap. They also offered a "Feed the Pelicans" experience. You buy a tray of fish and stand on this podium with a staircase on the back. There's even a handy chain on the back. Remember that part. So we were leaving when I was like 13 or so and there was this flock of almost 20 pelicans gathered near the kiosk. These German people are paying the guy and their son, who might be about 8 gets on the top of the stairs. As soon as he gets up there all of the pelicans turn their heads. You see them rush over and they start clapping their beaks. The sound was terrifying. You ever see the exact moment before a bad decision is about to be made? The kid holds out the first fish and chaos erupts. These winged nightmares start jumping for it. He drops the fish which lands on the ground and they start fighting for it. The second one comes up and one pelican jumps up and almost grabs the kid's hand. If you don't know, they have a hook at the end of their beak. The kid screams and you see crimson in the air. Yeah. Happy feed the animal time is about turn into a trip to the ER. It gets worse. Three of the bastards have started walking around the back and slipped under the chain. Now this kid has fallen down, is screaming in pain from the combination of having his hand cut open and falling onto the podium, and the fish fell all over. The pelicans on the ground go berserk. They are now in full feeding frenzy mode. The three sneaky ones are now standing over the kid and they are eying him. They start to attack the kid. Like full on. This guy comes running with one of those huge push brooms and goes off. The guy running the kiosk slams the shutters and starts running away. Like he's making a run for it. The guy with the broom just starts swinging. Birds are flying into walls and across the sidewalks. Two other people grab sticks and join in while another throws a trash can at the scene. The parents grab their son and pull him out. My parents covered our faces right then so it must have been bad. Pelicans are not friendly animals. Don't feed them. They shut that shit down immediately. Turns out something similar had happened at least 4 other times but not this bad. They guy running it was supposed to stand at the foot of the stairs and just didn't feel like it.
A lot of people forget that wild animals are dangerous and that's the scary part.
They expect human qualities to be reciprocated.
For example, a woman raised a baby chimp and as adult it went crazy and ended up ripping her friends face off and having to be gunned down by police to stop it.

Funny story:
When I was around 6 years old, I was at the zoo with my grandma. I then got too close to the pelican exhibit. The pelican saw and took the chance and then proceeded to try and "eat" me. It only managed to get to my neck at most and it didn't hurt, but my grandma sure got a scare. I was quite calm, probably didn't process the situation completely, I just said it was "kinda wet".
Btw, hope y'all have a good day/night :)
Sounds like a pelican would eat a human baby if given the chance. Didn’t know how messed up these birds were till this video.
@@MandalorV7 Gluttonous animals will legit try to eat anything that moves.
The sections of Captain Scott's Journals relating to his observations on penguin behaviour during his Arctic Expedition was censored for over 100 years because the descriptions of the extremes the penguins went to in their unbridled lust were deemed far too scandalous for public consumption.
Damn...
Took me a few seconds to realize what was in the seal’s mouth at 12:23
even with this cursed knowledge about the Adelie penguin
at least I can rest knowing one Adelie bullied a giant Petrel as the petrel was about to commit genocide on some baby penguins
“ A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill can hold more than his beli-can.
He can take in his beak
Food enough for the week;
But I'm damned if I see how the heli-can.”
Nice
I was kinda sad for the past few months but then I came across this channel and then suddenly I started binging legit every video you have and just listening to your random videos makes my day.
I’ve never heard of the Rice Purity Test before this so I took it and answered based on my experiences before I turned 18. I got 42. However, I did realize I’ve never frenched someone in public even as an adult.
I love all the comedy skits he’s always coming up with. Keep up the good work ❤️
It's a bot, just report
The shrike is the most merciful bird here.
The penguin falling and the entire group either laughing or saying "Daaaaaamn" is still the funniest shit I've ever seen.
This dude deserves a Netflix series and I'd legit get a subscription just for it.
