How Bison Are Helping Cliff Swallows Build Their Nests

- It's a partnership that's as unlikely as any: herds of bison on the move are kicking up chunks of earth. This, in turn, gives cliff swallows the valuable mud pellets they need to build their nests.

Just beautiful, this garden that was made for us. I grew up in rural Canada. The road I lived on had very few paved driveways. There were swallows nests in the gables of every single house. Now every house has a paved driveway and swallows nests in gables are extremely rare. The major impact it made is that the mosquitos are horrible at times now. The balance that existed since the 1600's is off. We have plans to change that next year. We still have a summers worth of data to collect and we should be able to restore that balance. I'm including education to our arsenal this summer in the peak of mosquito season, so that the locals are fully aware of the role these birds have played and will play going forward. We've been talking about this in certain circles throughout the community and its always well received. I'm confident they'll thrive here very soon, the people of this area are compassionate, caring and hospitable people. Great community. Alot of life around us plays a pivotal role in how we experience nature, and most of us are oblivious to this. That's o.k. too, it's a part of the beauty of the system. There are people who are interested enough for 100 people and that's o.k. too.
I appreciate this comment! I’m from rural Canada, too, and loved seeing the barn swallows. Thank you for this.
I'm a farm boy now in Alberta. Loved this comment.
Dominique Hebert You are someone I look up to! Texas boy here!
It's disappointing how many people I've seen demolish barn swallow nests knowing full well it's illegal.
PRAYFORMOJO I know, it’s outrageous...
2:09 that scenery is so beautiful
beautiful valley
Yellowstone is stunning. A must visit for nature and landscape appreciators
Fascinating video. No wonder my husband and I saw so many cliff swallows in southwest South Dakota: they had plenty of bison helping them.
I assumed it had something to do with the bison's poop.
Bison's poop burns (Indians burned it) - birds don't want a house fire.
@@paulsawczyc5019 then the swallow should quit smoking!
I thought it would be bison hair.
Me Too
That's what I assumed too because of bison's fibrous poop.
Remarkable photography! I have seen swallow nests on bridges, but never thought I'd get to see the building process in such detail.
I figured from the title of this video the swallows would use bison hair as a binder for their nests.
Exactly my thoughts too
Right? These people don't know how to make a video.
These species evolved together for thousands of years, of course one benefits from the other. This is why it's so important for humans to minimize our impact on the environment.

BABY BISON ARE SO CUTE THERE FUZZY CALFS OMG
Such an underrated channel.
three million subs doesn't seem very underrated...
Aww! Swallows are such cute little birds!
Cute little builders will never stop to make a good home! Well done birdies🤗👍👏
So they are basically feathered wasps.
Kind of, 😂 albeit they are stingless and absolutely harmless to humans. Moreover, they feed on mosquitoes, flies, gnats, and other airborne bloodsucking scavengers. Lovely and tender creatures.
These birds are some of the cutest!
Love to see beautiful birds free in the wild doing their things. In my place, there is no more. People capturing them.
I have two of the cute master builders building their nest in my balcony. Right above my sliding glass door frame . One is extremely friendly she acts like it want to fly on my finger .
Respect sent to all Americans who have American Bison / Buffalo on their private land while keeping the best and strongest genetics going .
It took me three times watching this clip before I realized that the narrator is Bill Pullman. I’m glad I did because that was gonna bug me all day.
They built a nest in my home (living room)
JIMMY GEORGE build*
@@wartunes6547 Built*
gotta pay ur bills
They used their BILLS . I think this is intentional. :D
Thanks for pointing out my mistake.🙏
One of the bird species we still need on the show’s lists.

Hi hello sweet heart
Birds are so beautiful...
Mother Nature is so amazing ❤️
a confused cliff swallows asked.
"are we bees?"
good joke😂
2:33 cute bird was looking at the mud like ..😍😍😍
"To collect something simple but crusial, mud" 👌👍👏nice word
I was never into nature documentaries but this is pretty interesting
Try to watch Netflix's "Our Planet" series on Netflix RUclips channel. It was like.. Maybe 3 months ago.
Absolutely amazing, I have these cute little birds building a nest on my balcony. One actually acts like it wants to fly on my finger .
What these fascinating birds do is a miracle of nature
Birds are the real architects
Thank you Smithsonian for your the constant education 👍
Visiting the Smithsonian museum is on my bucket list.
What a beautiful natural world.
I thought the birds were gonna live inside the buffalo
@Oliver Viehland The fur, or the end part of a buffalo
What is this, Hannibal? Lol
Sameeee
And I thought buffalos had grown wings and were helping out the cliff swallows bring the material up there.
African swallows are known to carry coconuts, but cliff swallows are a more delicate type of bird.
Oh
Interdependecies come across all over in natural world i notice .
I was honestly expecting that the cliff swallows would be making their nests out of buffalo dung.
Amazing: nature and cinematography.
The Smithsonian "curtains down" music is so soothing
How beautiful is that ❤️
I thought I'd see they use Bison-dung to build their nests! I was wrong. Amazing architects!

سبحان الله على جمال الطبيعة 😍😍😍
These are the bird that build under bridges in Wisconsin
Subscribers: beautiful and amazing birds
Mark Wiens: oh! wow😂
Beautiful birds
Tremendous efforts!
Nature is wonderful
Beautiful!!!
Very nice barn swallow
Nature is indeed amazing.
God’s creation is wonderful, made educate man forever.
I'm with you man.I hope all the animal habitats won't be destroyed.
So overall the cliff swallows will hover over the group of bison and asking em be like " Hey did ya poop? No? Hey you over there! The one with a two feet long horns, did ya poop?
gonna be honest that video title made me think they built nests out of dung
I salute my respect to the cameran and his passion in capturing this piece of amazing art. God knows your effort!!!
Crazy to think there used be 60 million bison roaming throughout North America
Used to be billions of pigeons - all gone.
Because of men!
*America there were very little bisons roaming the other 22 nations in NA
so beautiful how God makes everthing so perfect and in order😍
nature is so beautiful and very interested
Rain: *I'm about to ruin this whole birds career*
it aint a castle made of sand
@@donsagucio8619 obviously it's made of mud and pebbles
They always build their nests under overhangs so they are sheltered from the rain.
@@donsagucio8619 yeah hence they call them cliff swallow they build under them you uneducated degenerate
Woooow amazing
Amazing video
The only one God gave everyone his way and his knowledge wonderful Wildnis
It's like watching a natural 3-D Printer
one of the homies built a mansion for himself..
Lol
I have some that have built a mud nest on my house. I miss them while they are gone.
That’s so cool!!
Bird is making one of those mud nest on the edge of my patio
More proof that we have a Creator. Thank you Jehovah!
Yeah, birds build nests therefore God. Impeccable logic.
Calf : weee, splosh splosh
Birb : 😈yes play with that mud more, stoml those ground mix dem muds, ooooh yaaa oooh yeah ooooh yesss
The outro music is so good.
Back in my little village in Mexico we had these cute birds nesting along the buildings and church wall's. It was so adorable
OMG so beautiful 😍 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯 MASHALLAH ❤️😍💯🙌🏻
Wow 😮 amazing 🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏
If I had a pet swallow bird like that, I would name it Swellow
Now this is content.
But does a bison know the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Love the Monty Python reference!
Amazing 🙏🏻💯
Wow this is detailed!
Thanks!
Love your videos and I LOVE❤❤❤❤💚💚💚💚💛💛💛💛💛🧡🧡🧡💙💙💙💜💜💜💜💜
REAL LOVE FOR YOU!
It would be nice if everyone cooperates on protecting the remaining natural habitats.
I'm cooperating
Love your videos! Keep the great work up!
Thanks
Alhamdullillah, Subha allah
Amazing!!!
ძალიან კარგი ბიზონები არიან ეს ბიზონი ჩიტები და მაგიერში გარეგნობაც უვარგათ და ხმაც უვარგათ
Do more keep rocking
In my village Manipur state of India our forefathers believe the swallow will choose the house where they wanna build their nest and if the swallow built their nest it brings luck to the home owner so we let them choose and built their nest
Bison? U mean swallow?
aditya mohan yes thank you for the correction
What a lovely tradition! And I'm sure they appreciate the pest control aspect of having the swallows around, too.
Dem birdies be called...swallows?!🤭
Intelligent design
i didn't know bird could also do this, not just insects
incredible 💖💖💖💖💖
Sometimes you get blown away by how this planet works.
Hermoso video
Beautiful
My lord I wasnt expecting you here.
@@prelien4690
дерьмо, меня заметили!
What is the name of that bird?
I wish its full episodes like a documentary
I thought the birds were taking stuff out of the bisons ear to make thier homes lool
That sounds absolutely disgusting lol
@@HercadosP lol
Its a GOD'S creation the needy never fails
Nature always nice without human intervention but thanks for sharing God bless
Is it me but when it said bison on the title i instantly thought of appa (only ATLA will understand)
I run mud for a living !! If I was a bird!!! This be me!
I have a swallows nest under the roof peak of my house. Kept wondering what kind of bird made that noise.
They have yet to develop an inventory and stacking system like in Minecraft. They’ve got long ways to go before they can build generic plank houses like me
Wooww nice.♥️♥️♥️
So amazing time to make a nest hahaha
