I love how you can tell that Brennan isn’t trying to think of bird facts but rather trying to decide what bird facts to share
I know, I fucking love it. The next bit is related, I swear. My friends and I have a drinking game called animal facts. We each take a sip of our drinks and then they name an animal and I list some facts about the animal. We go until either they can't name animals or I can't name facts about an animal they pick. They often think they've stumped me, but it just gets harder and harder which fact to say first because they're all so good and cool. Especially birds
@@jacobtorres1835 That sounds like so much fun! I wish I knew that much about animals to make an entire game of it.
@@jacobtorres1835 Tell me you're neurodivergent without telling me you're neurodivergent XD would love to have you at a party!
@@oliedmis97 I'm terrible at parties for the first 7 minutes until I'm 2.5 drinks in
@@jacobtorres1835 life hack: bring 2.5 drinks to the party and down them just before you enter
I love how he immediately made his second fact extremely wholesome to help everyone mentally recover from the first fact because man that is nightmare fuel.
Come down here to Australia u will be fine i promise (totally not be coerced by a Cassowary)
Not all penguins mate for life. Emperor penguins mate with one partner per season.
@@bakedpotato7201
*drop bears say hi*
I'm gonna go back and ruin it for you:
If a penguin loses an egg, they may lash out to steal another, or even murder other eggs.
If one penguin slights another, the slighted penguin may choose to attack the offending penguin's egg, rather than the offending penguin.
And some species of penguin are so horny they're rapey, to the point of finishing with the ground, and dead bodies.
@@BonesCapone im gonna unruin it:
in situations where an egg is abandoned or the rarity that a penguin lays 2 eggs unpaired male penguins will pair up and adopt it.
Owls may be nature's slowest bird but I feel like getting my acceptance letter from a pigeon slamming into my window at 60 mph would kinda take the whimsy out of it.
That sounds amazing though.
@@javidproductions9353 "I got ur maaaaail! I got ur- oh heck oops haha that's embarrassing lemme just..
Ouch- hey uh there's the thing again??? Can you uh- dispel this or something you have- ugh, you have mail!!!"
I very much imagined Perry the Pigeon from Unsleeping City and Hooty from Toh as I read your comment.
Just so you know, they’re not the slowest, slowest in regular flight is the house sparrow and slowest overall would be the American or Eurasian woodcock or snipe
In my mind, pigeons have always been just flying rats... yeah im sticking to owls
A dumbass pigeon slamming into my window with a letter in it's beak would be the funniest thing I'd ever see
"Get a falcon" is such American wizard energy I love it
It cuts off where he explains the reason why owls are so slow, which is that they are super stealthy, but all the padding that lets them be so silent slows them down.
They also glide very well, so compared to some birds, do not have to flap their wings as often to maintain lift.
I know really old comment but I have a cool fact 2 add: Owls are so stealthy because they have specially shaped feathers at the end of their wings, that breaks up the flow of air making it much quieter. Someone experiment with applying the shape of them to blades of airplane turbines making them much quieter, without a speed reduction. Maybe in the future we will have quieter planes, wind-turbines and so on thanks to owls!
@@goku03458 a lot of his facts are outdated or urban legend style facts. I often do similar where my brain hears a cool thing & remembers it, whether or not it's true, now I just try to google them quickly if I'm telling someone
@@alexandernoname6339 not just that, but their whole feather design is for quiet flight. They have fuzzy feathers with little structures at the fronts of their wings to break up the air flow around their wings.
good for secret messages then?
Ravens have one more primary feather on each of their wings than crows.
You could say the difference between the two corvids is a matter of....a pinion.
I love this so much
Wow
😂😂😂😂💀
Oh thats good. That's so good! Im keeping this
Did that joke hurt you? Cause it hurts to read it. LMAO.
The fact that Cassowaries can basically track where your heart is and basically do a fatality on you caught me really off guard O.o
They do attack people and killed a couple. And they also make this deep terrifying bass call.
So they're somewhere between velociraptors and vampires in my mind now according to that fact
Cassowary monk op
Mortal combat bird
Well of it was any bird it would be the cassowaries
The slight horror in Aabria's eyes at the cassowary fact is so relatable. Also I just realized she's referenced happy feet multiple times on dimension 20
Better that fact than some other penguin facts he could have told. Fuckers are almost as bad as dolphins
Erica isn't far off on the horror meter either
I need a full series of Brennan Bird Facts
I second that.
I want the um actually card game to have an expansion of bird facts written by brennan
Um actually episode titled oops all birds
Brennan's Biweekly Bird Bits
You'd be listening to a bunch of nonsense and the occasional fact
Brennan gives me “taking care of his kids” vibes. Every time he dms it’s like he’s teaching children how to be normal. And the “they tap dance really good” was so adorable and he is gonna be a great father one day
In an episode of game changer I believe he said his greatest dream was to have kids and i- 🥺
@@TamarieWallacelie detector
I'm so glad I'm not the only person who realized how mean that was to the owls
They’re also nocturnal, and people mostly send mail during the day…
That always bothered me when reading Harry Potter
@@wanderingtrombonist7244 Extremely valid point omg
They are also one of the most silent flyers so maybe it would be good to use them to preserve a secret society.
@@shridharbiju7370 in a world where people still use carrier pigeons to deliver messages as a hobby and you can shrink items for easier lifting, why not pigeons?
@@shridharbiju7370 I mean, sure they're quiet, but they're still both nocturnal and slow flyers so it's still mean to the owls
I am Australian.
We are taught in primary school what a cassowary growl and rumble sounds like, and to step quietly away if it's heard.
We're fond of messing with foreigners when it comes to our wildlife, but we are never anything less than DEADLY SERIOUS when a cassowary is involved; there's a bloody good reason Steve Irwin was known for tackling crocodiles and not the gods damned reaver birds.
Cassowaries are proof Dinosaurs never went extinct, they just rebranded.
I remember one time in his show he I think noticed signs of a cassowary near where he was looking for wildlife and straight up dipped so he could film it near his car and extra far away
I love how most of these comments are bird facts so I'll add my own. Bearded Vultures have a unique ability to flush blood to the sclera of their eye, which makes them literally blood red, to express anger or fear.
So because they cant draw eyebrows with a marker they resorted to evolution to do it for them. Rad
I think it's the Tasmanian Lake Duck(?) which has nature's biggest penis by scale, the member being as long as it's body which is roughly 40 centimeters
@@GamerGrovyle Probably not nature's, since barnacles can have ones up to 8 times their body length. Maybe if we're talking about among vertebrates.
@@Candoran2 So you're saying that Barnacle Boy from SpongeBob is, ya know....
You just gave me a great idea for a tattoo, thanks!
Crow fact: I recently learned crow's nests on ships were named after the bird because they would release them on ships and the crow would fly to the nearest solid ground. So sailors could find a closeby island or landmass to dock at.
Well if you read the bible you would already know that🙄😂

Owls may be slow but they're also crazy long distance fliers.
The weirdest problem with owls as mail carriers?
They're not waterproof.
No flying in the rain or sleet. Or wet snow or heavy fog. Or through clouds . . . yeah, owls are a bad choice as a mail delivery service.
Then again, so are ravens.
Owls are also completely silent when flying. Something about their wings make them stealthy.
@@jeronp420 Correct, the rest of this scene was Brennen explaining the the adapting to be silent is the reason they are slower.
@@OmegaII ah cool didnt see this one
If you get a shining Raven, you get an example
If you get a bright owl, you get a lesson
If you get a pigeon or a falcon, you're just about in.
That would make them perfect mail carriers, your letters would never get wet if they don't fly in the rain.
I love that Brennan is fighting for owl rights constantly 😂 I laughed too hard at this
why the hell don't wizards just use messenger pigeons. Really fast, bred for that purpose and you're not gonna have anyone going "ayo look at that big ass bird!" if it's a pigeon holding something weird, pigeons pick up shit all the time
Wizards can teleport, and send communate through fire places, why the hell do the need mail in the first place?
@@calvinwarlick8533 not everything is connected to the fluu network especially muggle born students and you arent allowed to apperate into muggle areas so at best you still need a way in the early 90s to communicate with muggleborn students
or a phone

Cassowaries are the birds that remember that they used to be dinosaurs and are only too happy to remind you of that fact.
I could honestly listen to a podcast exclusively about Breenan telling us bird facts
Same
it just makes me want to talk to him about bird facts
Brennan doing anything is a great podcast or tv show.
He has a +20 charisma
Brennan and Ben "Accidental Ornithologist" Bailey would make a great duo for said podcast.
@@harrisonzachar I would totally watch them play Wingspan together, and just talk bird facts together
I love how you can tell that Lou knows EXACTLY what fact he's gonna share based off the first three seconds, and then mentions "you were gonna tell that one earlier but we stopped you." Like??? Remembering all that? That's true friendship right there
as expected of trivia encyclopedia brennan lee mulligan.
That’s why he won who wants to be a millionaire
If you want to make universes,
Ya gotta know faxx
He has such a gentle way of expressively speaking
“and they tap dance really good” killed me
Brennan has been waiting his whole life for this moment
Another fun bird fact! Owls cannot move their eyes around because they have eye tubes instead of eye balls.
Thats why they move their heads around in circles and up and down, to gain better depth perception
Lol for real? Crazy.

The look of horror from learning about Death Cassowaries is perfect.
That's honestly super cool to be so passionate about something.
Iirc the question he got wrong on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire was about birds so he’s got that on lock now.
@@pon3d120 I think the one he got wrong was about a singer being alive at the same time as JK Rowling.
Passion? No. He just remembers everything that happens at all times. Dude’s memory is frankly obscene.
@@jon_flop_boat I prefer to believe that he does have a not so secret passion for birds, it might not be true, but I like it better.

HOW does he go from violently frightening cassowary fact to stupendously wholesome penguin fact with ZERO CHANGE OF TONE!!??‽‽
This is just the next logical step for "Pigeon Facts with Peter Parker" from Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Fun fact: penguins also commit prostitution for rocks which they use to build a nest
I love how he almost gave 3 facts per bird
Making owls carry the mail is like if the post office made a rule that only old people and people with crippled legs are allowed to deliver mail. But no mail trucks, they walk their routes
Aabria's face after the first fact is a work of art
Cassowaries are also INCREDIBLY unpredictable and as a result, most zookeepers are usually given literal assault shields when entering cassowary enclosured just in case the bird charges
Bird Fact: Emus are the only birds to win a war against humans. (c. "Great Emu War" 1932)
EDIT: I stand corrected, as Sparrows won a war against the US in the 1870s. (And lost a war against China in the Four Pests campaign of 1958, though it was a Pyrrhic victory for China that resulted in a massive famine due to locusts losing a natural predator.)
not quite, sparrows also won a war although i've forgotten the year
Lol china
Crows are currently winning the war against most of the world lol
Birds shit on us all the time and we do nothing about it. They already won the war.
@@red_leader11Crows are winning the secret war, but now I have said too much and my apartment is surrounded by crows and I am afraid to go outside.
The Cassowary fact is one of the main reasons they weren't featured in Alfred Hitchcock's Horror Movie The Birds (technically the first in the Horror animal sub-genre, the next one was Jaws) as they couldn't get close enough to film them in action for fear if getting killed, as their toe talon is armor piercing(it's been recorded going through an inch of carbon steel)....
A good owl fact: owls are actually super stupid, because they never needed intelligence to survive. They have an incredible success rate while hunting, because their wings are so quiet and their eyesight so precise.
High Wis, Low Int, got it
@@rikardosilva1754 you'd sure hope they have high wisdom considering they're the literal symbol of the goddess of wisdom xD
@@LoonyTunes Maybe Athena only surrounds herself with stupid birds so she can appear wiser in comparison.
@@Huschel1988 well that's pretty big brain if you think about it.
Wait, so you're telling me they can make armour and sling flaming hot coals at their enemies like in Owls of Gahoole?
Brennen brings a TON of camp counselor energy to this short
The unique feathers of the owl make it one of the quietest birds in flight, clearly the wizards found some reason to prize this. Also, if you want level flying speed, as opposed to diving speed, the fastest is actually a type of bat.
A bat isn't a bird though
You’re right, it’s cooler
Or better yet, owls are fucking magic
God can you imagine a wizard in the Philippines or so using the human sized bat as mail service? I just thought of that and man that's the coolest and most frightening thing ever.
If they want their mail to be delivered quietly, then why is there a whole subset of letter that’s just long-distance screaming at somebody who’s upset you?
Penguins are basically doing squats their entire lives
Imagine some wizard thinking to himself one day, “Hey, I should get a bird to carry my messages to other people easier. Hmmm, let’s go with literally the slowest species available.”
Hope you like your mail delivered at 2 am! Most owl species are nocturnal.
The cormorants found all over the Galapagos archipelago can dive 200+ feet, and hold their breath for 25 minutes.
I feel like using owls to carry messages in the HP universe probably originated during some conflict in which having a slow messenger was better than having a messenger with audible wingbeats.
Why? Who gives a shit?
It’s not like they’re sending letters during the war, or something. How quietly their mail is being sent shouldn’t be an issue. If I, a nonmagical person, hear a pigeon flying by, my first thought isn’t gonna be “Hmm, that pigeon is being loud. Suspicious”.
Because it’s a pigeon. It’s a benign animal I see a million of every day. On the flipside, an owl is going to attract A LOT of attention, during the day especially, quiet or not.
Besides, in the incredibly specific event where wizards want their mail delivered quietly…they’re magic. Just cast a spell on your delivery vermin of choice.
Nah it doesn't mean anything, I'm sure it's just something else Rowling stole from someone else
Owls weren't used for speed, they flew them in the night so Muggles wouldn't notice them. The really weird part is why they keep using owls when they can animate the letters to deliver themselves, and make the letters invisible.
Cassowaries really out here with a built in Byakugan tracking people's heartbeats ready to strike. Nature is vicious
Brennan either really loves birds or is actually terrified of them
A bird living in a city will have a higher pitched song than a bird of the same species living in a less urbanized area.
You'd think at some point the Wizarding world would invent instant messaging.
Bunch of dramatic wizards refusing convenience just to be all fancy and mystical or whatever.
We need a full on series where Brennan get to tell weird obscure facts to people who are into whatever the topic of the episode is.
i love the switch up from "cassowaries are the ultimate killing machine." to "penguins mate for life!"
Owls actually are silent when flying as well. My love for owls finally comes in handt
The fact over Cassowaries made me go back to Jurassic Park 3 to see the Mr. Pendansky get Toe-d in the back...
Mr. Pendasky?! Mr, Pendansky!!
Harry Potter would be way different if they used falcons instead of owls.
It would be so much cooler
If Hedwig was cassiowary instead of an owl she would have fucked up Voldemort when he was chasing Harry to Ron's house at the beginning of book 7
@@sagescribe_ God I want Cassowiary!Hedwig fanfic now.
Im just imagining a cassowary's arm locking in place and making the tranformers transformation sound, like "engaging Heartstopper mode" and then just Kalli-Ma ing your heart out of your chest with an ungodly squawk.
Okay, so the worlds slowest flying bird is actually the American Woodcock, not Owls.
So that's what the American wizards use for their mail then?
@@sixofone8663 Obviously
@@Missiletainn Naturally
the American Woodcock is also known as a Timberdoodle, which is the best bird fact because you get to say Timberdoodle

Also Pelicans can “regurgitate” their spine through their mouths to cool themselves down
What,
and I cannot stress this enough,
the fuck
Wtf? How does puking up your spine cool you down? Seriously wtf
@@whitenoise509 because they’re exposing their spines (specifically the blood vessels around their spines) to the colder air, allowing heat to escape.
It’s basically their version of sweating, like how dogs pant
@@qbc_03x65 Except, y'know, infinitely more horrifying O_o
This isn't true, it's a common misconception. Pelicans cannot expose their spine out of their mouth. The phenomenon people frequently identify as "regurgitation" is actually the pelican exposing the glottis, the soft tissue of their lower beak by stretching it over their neck and chest. This is basically just them turning their mouth out a little. And it's not to cool down, it's to yawn basically; it clears out the beak and let's the air flow more freely
I could listen to bird facts all day lmao
Brennan an expert in bird law
Her smile is just so cute
One of my least favourite part of most urban fantasy(even the reeealy good ones like Dresden files) is the magic Vs tech battle. Why? Give me more tech + magic... Give me someone who just prints out a rune rather than painstakingly draw it. Give me wikimagica that's hidden in plain sight. Give me more synergy between magic and technology
That's usually the problem tech is a physical representation of logic, normalcy, reason, order.
Magic is belief, faith, dream, chaos.
And while they're 2 sides of the same coin.
They're not spokes on the same wheel.
Which hopefully will explain why tech goes wonky in the presence of strong Magic.
And why dresden has to take cold showers.
@@blkbrdmntrvimes6438 I've always seen Dresden magic as science + a little extra. The laws of physics apply to almost all magic. Everything is still cause and effect. They're all still reactions that follow a logical course Be it summoning, evocation or even thaumaturgy. And as the series has progressed this idea has just gotten more imprinted in my mind. But yeah, Harry will continue taking cold showers
If I ever write an urban fantasy I'm making wizards responsible for that idea. Use urban fantasy to train everyone to think the old cook in the woods with no running water is the wizard, definitely not the bespectacled man in a turtleneck running a multi billion dollar company he started out of his garage. Definitely no magic in that success. And magic couldn't have anything to do with the moon landing, despite the fact in wizard worth his wand would absolutely love some moon rocks, after all if a wizard were on board that thing it would have just exploded.
@@gornfoo that's exactly something i was planning on doing too lol! Its just waaaay more fun that way
The Artemis Fowl movie was pretty meh but the books are great!
I love their horrified expressions after fact 1
Erika is looking at Brennan the same way her character looks at Evan Kelmp.
If anything happens to Izzy, put an APB out for Erika.
Slowest bird but perhaps the most silent.
I loved when he went in on the wizards that can teleport using the slowest birds for courier services. 😂
That funny little noise morning doves make when they take off is actually their wings
I like that he gave an adorable bird fact after a horrifying one to kind of soothe the fear.
Erica's cackle gets me every time.
Ask for 3 bird facts...
Brennan: _"each for 3 seperate birds?"_
Omg finally another person who can spout random bird facts in a campaign. You should come join our Sunday group so I'm not alone
I always thought it was a joke. (In boyscouts we learn various things about birds depending on your state) so the owl being of the slowest always thought it was reminiscent of snail-mail.
This is the kind of conversion I imagine Ryan, Alex and Steph would have
I love how Brennan’s hill is the Harry Potter Owls 🤣
The image of a cassowary, ridiculous giga-turkeys that they are, chasing someone down and efficiently executing them is both terrifying and hysterical.
It makes me so happy when he info dumps
Im gonna train an army of Cassowaries to do this... AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME
The last fact is just a huge back handed dig from Harry Potter to the mailing world
Everyone wants your bird facts, Brennan!
"get a falcon" OR TELEPORT BECAUSE YOU'RE MAGIC
Everyones reaction the the first fact are all perfect
I love Brennan's "um"s in this one, it sounds like he's standing in front of this _massive_ bookshelf and thinking to himself, "I can only pick three facts, which are the coolest? Wait, I can cheat by giving three related facts about cassowaries as 'one' fact, so that's good. What else..."
I've once seen an owl in flight and was actually stunned by how non-aerodynamic it looked. Flying that big flat face first.
He already mentioned 3 bird facts for the first bird alone.
Yup. If Aabria weren't keeping count I think we would've gotten more as a freebie. Brennan has bird facts.
This has been another use of Bird Facts with Brennan!
My favorite bird fact is that Australia once declared war against Emus. Like with a formal declaration and everything. The best part? The Emus won. Turns out they are surprisingly resistant to machine gun fire.
Owls also fly silently. In the Wizarding world, they'd rather get their mail late than be bothered with the sound of birds flying everywhere around them LOL
Owls may be slow, but their carrying capacity is respectable.
Hoatzins, affectionately called “stink birds”, hatch with claw-like hooks on their wings. As they grow, they eventually shed these extra wing talons.
Other then the guit with the Freddy kruger sweater, everyone had extreme bug eyed
as someone who loves cassowaries/bird facts in general, the cassowary heartbeat sensor + stabbing claw is Very Good and I'm going to tell everyone i know, thank u Brennan
It's so in character for Brennan to list 3 facts as one (the first)
Fun fact, Shrikes will impale their prey on branches, bramble and barbed wire so they can pull their food apart easier and store it for later
Hozier has a song called Shrike that references this bird. In a video of a live performance he was describing it.
I think the logic behind making owls the mail couriers is because they’re the most quiet fliers.
"Penguins have an organ above their eyes that converts saltwater into freshwater" - Dean Venture
If you thought Amazon, FedEx, or UPS was slow wait till you see an Owl fly it’s hilarious
Penguins are uh *don't say necrophiles, don't say necrophiles, don't say necrophiles* ....they mate for life!
I will never again underestimate a cassowary in mortal combat.
