My favorite is the Thunderbird from Native American mythology since it is a protector. I also like the Alicanto for its silvery color, along with the Huma and Karura. I would also add the Firebird from Slavic mythology and the Impundulu from African mythology, but they weren't included in this video.
I'm not so sure these birds were complete myth's we know through the fossil record that Ptersaurs existed including the biggest being the Quazlquatis. Then during the ice age between Australia/New Zealand/The Philippines\& too Scotland the Old Monk writing's mentioned the existence of Gigantic Sized Eagle's that once flew the skies and were capable of picking up and carrying People away as a meal. Over in North America there was a species of Vultures that were far bigger than Today's World The Condor's estimated perhaps about 5 time's bigger than The Condor? Now over in New Zealand there were Bones of those Giant Sized Eagle's that once flew The Skies. I know we've got advanced technology and a slight better understanding of The World we Now live within nowadays; however I don't think we should completely disregard our Ancient Ancestors Oral History of The Natural World they bore witness too. I've got an After thought on this subject um The 3 Book's of Enoch The Prophet of Old could effectively explain how the hybrid creatures half-bird/half-human beings came too exist.
@@CuteDwarf11 I know we see these bird's as myth's but, The Sovereign Nation's do not see Thunderbirds as myth's they maintain their Ancestors here before Columbus lived alongside of these Thunderbirds ⛈ 🐦. I'd propose asking The Sovereign Nation's a little more about these Thunderbird's their intricately apart of the various Tribe's.
Once I read a story in a book when I was in kindergarten I think. "One day all the birds gathered to fly to the tallest mountain and ask the help of the Phoenix. Owls, Eagles, Falcons and many other strong birds gave up, by the end only small and weak birds like Robins were left. When they reached the top of the mountain, they couldn't find the Phoenix. All those birds died on the mountain top but they were reborn as The Phoenix, king of the birds." I don't know if this is based on anything or who wrote something like it, but I love it very much.
I believe this is a reimagination of The Conference of the Birds a Poem by Attar of Nishapur. The story is somewhat the same as you said but in the end remain 30 birds at the top of that mountain which they fail to find the simorgh (phoenix) and they undrestand they don't need the simorgh since they themselves are the simorgh. I need to elaborate that it is kind of a pun since simorgh sounds like 30 birds in farsi and the idea is based on Irani/Islamic Mysticism which believes that all beings are a replication of God and if one wants to find God just needs to look inside.
In The Philippines, there is this bird called Adarna from an epic poem named 'Ibong Adarna' (lit. 'Adarna Bird') which capable of healing through singing, however hearing the song of the Adarna can make you fall asleep then it would take that opportunity to poop on you which could turn you into stone statue. The antidote to this is its own song, so when Adarna sings its final melody, everyone who turned into stone will be back to normal and so the cycle will continue for another set of people with an ill-intention. Although it seems counter intuitive for the bird, it is important to mention that it is a bird, so it doesn't really stay on one place so everyone who turned into stone on places a bird rarely visited are not really cured.
Adarna is not part of our mythological creature pantheon, it is a made up creature from Francisco Balagtas' epic, Florante at Laura. The real mythological bird from our country is the sarimanok.
@@kickassssnation027 Of our Pantheon, yes, it is not part; however, it is part of Philippine Literature and has been categorized as a MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURE. And as you mentioned, IT IS a made-up creature by Francisco Balagtas, who is, as far as I know, a FILIPINO. While I consider Sarimanok as OURS, what makes Adarna so different if it was created by a Filipino as well? Just so you know, most of our Pantheon gods were influenced by many non-‘Filipino’ cultures like Hinduism (through Indianization of the southeast), Islam, and Buddhism. The terms ‘Bathala’ and ‘Diwata’ themselves were derived from Sanskrit words. There is also an article from The Aswang Project that tackles the probable origins of Bakunawa in Hindu Mythology. So, you see, Adarna is as much Filipino as Sarimanok when compared to the Bathalas, Diwatas, and probably even the Bakunawa of the Philippine Pantheon. Ref: Clark, J. (2016, May 27).

Oh! I remember that story! That was one of my favorites! I know it’s not a pre-historic Filipino story, but the Philippines has long picked up many stories. The story of the Jellyfish and the Monkey is apparently a Japanese story!
I hope you also include 3 birds from Philippine folklore - the Sarimanok, which is a rooster with long multicolored feathers, the Adarna, whose feathers changes colors when it sings and lulls the listener to sleep, and the Tikitik, the harbinger of the aswang by making a clicking sound hence its name. It is said that the fainter the sound, the nearer the aswang is.
I remember reading a story about a flock of birds that had collected on a fateful day to ascend the highest peak in the hope of summoning the Phoenix for assistance when I was probably in kindergarten. By the end, only tiny, feeble birds like Robins remained after owls, eagles, falcons, and other powerful birds had given up. Even at the peak of the mountain, the Phoenix remained elusive. Following their death on the mountaintop, all of those birds were reincarnated as The Phoenix, ruler of the birds. To be honest, I have no idea who wrote something similar or if it is based on anything, but I adore it.

In slavic Mythology ( Bulgaria, Russia) we have a bird that is simmular to the greek phoenix. Its name is literally Fire bird. in Slavic fables often the hero of the story needs to accomplish three tasks given by a king( with the end goal of marrying the princess). One of these tasks is to find, capture and bring the mythical golden bird to his majesty. Other task in slavic fables that needs to be accomplish along with bringing the fire bird usually include bringing a golden apple to the king by slaying a dragon
In our country Philippines we also have a mythical bird called ibong adarna a beautiful singing bird that according to the legend if you heard the voice of ibong adarna singing you will suddenly going to deep sleep
Garuda is singular, by the way, there aren't multiple mounts of Vishnu called that. Another bird in Hindu mythology is Gandabherunda, a form of Vishnu who defeats Sharabha, a form of Shiva.
7:30 about Simurgh it is also said that it would give a piece of it's feather to the hero who then needs to burn the feather in order to summon the Simurgh and then it will appear!
Where are the Firebird from Slavic mythology, and the Impundulu from African mythology???? It's pretty disappointing that they weren't included in this video.
In philippines, i seen harpy but we call it wakwak in philippines. Wakwak is not famous horror stories where i came from, we talked ghost stories. One time, there was a kid close to my age , visit on the city , shes from the province and talked about wakwak. I find her pretty. She knows so much bout wakwak, etc. At dawn, i woke up because my aunt is heading to church. In philippines, there is mass at dawn on Dec, almost Christmas time. The light woke me up but i pretend to sleep cus if my aunt knows im awake. She will take me to church with her. So my aunt left, turn off the light.. 5 mins later, i got up and turn it on and i felt this scared feeling so i put the blanket all over my head and 10 mins later i took it off cus i was sweating profusely. (U kno when u look at someone at the person randomly on train then that person looks away from u? Guess what, brains can detect someone staring at u ) I looked on the window randomly , theres a screen so mosquitoes cannot get inside the room and i saw this half face . The face is covered with hairs and eyes were red. Is look like a female. She stare at the floor bcus we were sleeping on the wooden floor, then we lock eyes for a 3 seconds then she flew... when she flapped her wings.. is sound so heavy like of a not normal bird, and is color black like a crow. I was gonna tell my experience tothat kid but she didnt show up anymore after tha incident. Also, i was sleeping on 2nd floor and there was no railings or ladder for someone to climb and pull some prank... not only that, whos on the right mind would prank someone in the middle of the night at 300 am ? They exist, those mythologies creatures we think our just stories. They are real
no no. Here is the difference between a siren and mermaids: ruclips.net/video/7HkjrLpcWOs/видео.html . But the one from this video is a "Sirin" not a "Siren"
Sirens I believe, started more like harpies before mermaid traits came, although rare there are depictions of harpies with fins and fishtails that some think were sirens.
Sirens originated in Greek mythology, not Slavic. Sirens were the creatures that made Odysseus have his men stuff wax in their ears so they wouldn’t hear them, and had his men tie him to the mast of the ship so that he could hear them and find out what made sailors crash into the rocks where the Sirens were.
What's your favorite mythical bird? And why? Mine is the Alicanto. I love any creature that can show me the way to treasure :)
Stymphalian Birds they are flying arsenals that flock and they can shower you with metalic blade like feathers.
My favorite is the Thunderbird from Native American mythology since it is a protector. I also like the Alicanto for its silvery color, along with the Huma and Karura. I would also add the Firebird from Slavic mythology and the Impundulu from African mythology, but they weren't included in this video.

Garuda is fabulous. The King of Birds and Lord Vishnu's Carrier.
Some birds are as beautiful as can be, some are mysterious, and some are creepy. The Alicanto, Phoenix, Simurgh and the Caladrius are my favourites.

The story of the Jellyfish and the Monkey is apparently a Japanese story!
Ibong Adarna might not even be entirely original. It's story could be derived from a Russian folktale called "The Firebird"
if you think about it, there were once pygmy elephants in the Mediterranean. Roc would have no trouble carrying one off..Simurgh is my favorite.
Thank you as always for another good video full of information. I didn't know about some of these animals of different cultures mythologies.
glad you loved it m8!

It was a wonderful video. I never knew there are so many mythical birds from the ones I knew. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan, and Tanakh all three feathered serpents i believe. The pegasus also deserves a nod on the list
birds. The video is just about birds, not serpents, not flying horses :).
