Your Life Will be Better After you Know About Frogmouths

- Frogmouths are a kind of night-hunting, bug-loving bird that live in India, Southeast Asia, and Australia. They're very good at catching bugs and hiding and very bad at building nests. They mate for life and, in places where there are cars, they are very good at getting hit by them because they fly toward the bugs that are illuminated by headlights. Dangit.

I really love the pins from the Bizarre Beasts Pin Club we're doing! Sorry it's not open to folks who aren't currently in, but it's the best way to make sure we don't over-produce pins and create unnecessary waste!

"they can shapeshift" was definitely a sentence I was not anticipating
Misbah Zahid ACK ACK ACK ACK
"If ravens had eyes like owls we would let them teach kindergarten" I am IN TEARS that you would think that ravens would accept a teacher's salary
+
this is the best remark to Any kind of content that ive seen in a long time
Or working conditions. Ravens is gonna take one look at our classroom sizes, nutritional standards, and work load, declare us a lost cause, and go back to collecting random shiny things.
@@CuleChick11 The only way to have ravens teach at school is to pay them in coin.
Right now I'm learning on the university how to be a kindergarten teacher, and that made me laugh 😂
This morning I was still wearing the Pizza John shirt and Orin looked at it and said: "PIZZA JOHN! HE MAKES PIZZA FOR **EVERYBODY**"
I wish there were fun merch of my uncle.
Please make specialized John masks for us to wear this year a la Groucho Marx
Amazing, and so true! It'd make a great pizzamas sticker, maybe.
orin repping that communism
I’m glad the patron saint of pizzamas is becoming so well known so I have people to celebrate this important time with.
Most of what Hank does now is "YOU NEED TO SEE THIS ANIMAL" and I'm not mad :')
One out of every four, but also, when my animal days come around I'm like, "I AM SO HAPPY!"
@@vlogbrothers and then there's the potoo bird which adds two huge bulging yellow eyes, to complement the whole "Muppet-bird" look.
How about the kakapo? It's a parrot that forgot to be a parrot. (It also has eyes that face slightly forward, something unheard of with parrots in general.)
+
He should do one on pangolins they are under appreciated and people need to know about them so they can get the help they need to not go extinct
When Hank said that you probably haven't heard of these I couldn't help but think who hasn't heard of the tawny frogmouth, then I realised that as an Australian I may have a skewed perspective on the matter.
Legit, same. +
Yeah, having lived in the US for 25 years I have never heard of any kind of frogmouth before today.
Exactly what I thought!
Australian also. I didn't realize until now that Tawny Frogmouths weren't actually owls!
Have to admit that i didnt realise there were OTHER frogmouths.... Oops...
This video made me forget I had period cramps for 4 minutes. Thanks Hank.
Just loop it until they stop, period cramps solved!
ME TOO HIGH FIVE I mean very low five cause I can't really get up right now
There should be a rating system where the highest rating possible is "made me forget my period cramps for awhile" because that is a top-notch way to explain how good something is
Yes! They are back now but I feel better about them
i'm home sick after i slammed my head on a grantite countertop and got a concussion, first day i've had off in 2 years, and this video was the high point of my day and made me forget about it for a bit. i watched it twice =3
“It brings us the pizza” should be the official slogan for Pizza John
+
I like how Pizza John is an "it"
I am going to need to see this on at least one pizzamas product this year
its too late for this year but if we make it a thing we might get "it brings us the pizza" merch next year
*IT PUTS THE PIZZA ON ITS SKIN-* Oh, wait no, not that...
"It's the worst thing we've ever done, and I love it. I hope we sell it."
Even Hank knows the Pizzamas mask is not a Million Dollar Idea *insert theme song here*

“They will often lose eggs or babies to that surprise peril, GRAVITY”
🤣 That freakin killed me.
It kills the babies and eggs too.
i find it hilarious when birds die from falls, its like finding a fish that drown or finding a cow that overdosed on grass. like intellectually i know its possible but since flying is kind of the thing birds excell at you dont expect them to die from falling.
You: Tom Holland
Me, an intellectual: Frogmouth
oh my god. what have you done 😂😂😂
I laughed so hard, than you I needed that!
I dont understand. Could you please explain? If u have time.
Can’t look at his photos without thinking about frogmouth from now on...lol
So when I was in Grade Six in Tasmania, Australia, an injured Tawny Frogmouth decided to start living outside my classroom window! It was a cute and amazing experience. He was eventually safely taken to a wildlife sanctuary and treated.
"Ugh, my heart, I wanna _squish it"_ -- Hank Green, 2019
"Surprise gravity"
I haven't laughed this hard in quite a while.
The part where he's talking about ravens sounds like slam poetry
but ravens are smarter--If ravens
had eyes like owls, we
would let them teach
kindergarten.
“Adorably furious!”
My 1 year old shares this trait but I didn’t have the right word combo until now. Thanks Hank!
Had a Tawny Frogmouth nesting in a tree out the front of my house once when I was a kid. Thought it was an owl for years.
Repeatedly climbed close to it. Did not get sprayed with poop.
2:14 Frogmouth be like: "Yo thanks for this dope nest human" *stares as if high*
can confirm my life is better
+.
!!!
I can confirm too.
Oh I love tawny frogmouths! Being Australian I’ve always known about them, I saw a wild one last weekend while camping! It was sitting on a tree branch and was all squashed down like it was trying to just look like a lump on the tree. They are rad birds
I've been a fan of you guys for like, seven years now. Within that time, I moved to Ethiopia, graduated high school, had some traumatic stuff happen personally, met Light, and now am a senior architecture student. I'm glad I have Wi-Fi again; I can open your videos minutes after they're uploaded. And I like that over the years, you guys started Microcosmos, Poetica, and _fearlessly_ dived into all sorts of 'random' things.
_(I know this comment had nothing to do with owls or dangerous, poop-spurting birds, but hey)_
Greetings to the Nerfighters and DFTBA. May this curious community lives on.

*EDIT: thank you for reading this, folks. :) One of the main random things I indulged myself in for years is making sand animation videos (like, throwing sand around on a back-lit glass pane with a camera on top). I just uploaded one on my channel if you want to see what I mean.*
Have a lovely existence.
Love,

@4one14 back at you, boo
I am an architect now, and I started watching vlogbrothers as a freshman in college.
I am cheering for your success in the architectural field from the Philippines!!
DFTBA!

Winta Assefa: I also started watching John & Hank and follow all their channels 7 years ago. I will soon be 74
so I guess I am their oldest fan.
As someone who already liked Frogmouths, I *LOVE* this.
"I JUST WANNA SQUISH IT"
Hahaha, IT'S SO FLUFFFFYYY!
"If ravens had eyes like owls' we would let them teach kindergarten"
I am going back to school the day that happens
Me too :)
Imagine the Joker movie but instead of clown masks it’s people rioting in Pizza John masks
The worst part about having a hideous Mustache is that PEOPLE ACT AS IF YOU DON'T
I kinda want to see a deepfake video of that now...
sounds like your average childrens pizza place.
Not "V For Vendetta?"
What if everyone who buys one goes around doing sneaky nice things for people while in disguise?
His level of enthusiasm is what I aspire to have in life. ✨
My life's mission is now to build nests for frogmouths! Thank you for giving me clarity in the woes of being 20 something!!
For the past two months I’ve had an ordinary day turned into a fantastic day because my pins arrive. Thanks, Hank.
Haven't even watched this video and can confirm that my life is dramatically improved
The two basic Frogmouth emotions:
"hmmmmmm"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
so like jacksepticeye?
I like to think somewhere ZeFrank was just moments away from putting out “True Facts About Frogmouths” video before going on TH-cam just to be like well sh** Hank got to it first.
He should still do one >.u.>
I would pay for that video
I learned about them in a gorgeous Zoo in Sydney three years ago.
I can attest to the veracity of the proposed proposition.
I’ve had tawny frogmouths in my garden my whole life (I’m Australian) and I love them so much they’re cuties
Two thoughts: That mask is so unsettling I literally gasped when I saw it.
I hope you'll have a pizza John tank top.
There has been a pizza John tank top in previous years.
Sexy scientist
Neat. I hope there is one this year, I’ve been broke most pizzamases (spelling?) so I’m excited to get a tank. (Unisex tee shirts are uncomfortable.)
@@Bea_Esser I'm sorry, Jessica.
@@sexyscientist
I can't believe you remembered this conversation, that is genuinely touching.
I guess I'll have to cross my fingers for a tank next year.
Have a happy Pizzamas!
OH MY GOD - THANK YOU!!!
I have been carrying around a picture of this crazy-looking bird that I saw in an owl sanctuary in Japan. It did not look like an owl at all, but my Japanese is not good enough to ask what it is. I’ve been asking all of my friends and no one could tell me who this amazing bird was that looked like it was about to send me on a quest in a fantasy novel. IT’S A FROGMOUTH!
Bless you, kind person! (Hank, I believe?)
They’re in the St. Louis Zoo’s birdhouse. St. Louis Zoo is free to visit all year round and is one of the top ranked nationally every year
a _free_ zoo? that's insane. The local zoo here is city owned and it costs $23 for adults, there's a smaller private zoo and it's still over $15, and i dont even live in a big expensive city.
As an Australian I would like to personally thank you for this Tawny Frogmouths are the BEST. They sound adorable when they chitter about at like 2 30 in the dead morning too.
You remind me of myself last week when i learned what beluga whales looked like
We are happily host to a frogmouth in our backyard. She makes her nest in a hanging basket that used to hold a flowery thing.
The reason Hank makes such a good celebrity is that he's really just a normal person, and he doesn't try to be anything else
I'm very happy that you're taking about this bird cause i've only heard about them one or twice and found them so interesting yet intriguing
The tawny frogmouth looks like something straight out of a Jim Henson movie.
they remind of of some birds in cartoons, epseically a few i've seen in anime.
There is a tawny frogmouth at my local zoo, and it’s always my favorite bird to go see. Thank you for helping me learn more about them!
huh what do you mean the halloween mask is he worst thing you've ever done
i'm gonna buy like ten for my friends. it's gonna be some party
Steve Irwin introduced these birbs to me on one of his programs. Rest his good soul.
I had a family a tawny frogmouths living outside of my house
I live in the Blue Mountains of Australia, and I have them around my house all the time, very awesome animals.
Suggestion: let's talk about otters. ❤️
We have a pair return to our property every year to nest. They pick the same broken off tree barely big enough for one adult. It takes a while to realise they have returned because they are so well camouflaged.
We are here for the Tawny Frogmouth appreciation video!!! But Hank, actual owl ears are so much cooler than the fake ear feather tufts on top.
I was having a cruddy day. Then I learnt about frog mouth and now my day is 100% better. Thank you
I always liked Potoos. They look hilarious! 😂
googling.... LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY!!!! OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!
Omg!!! They’re hilarious! That is the bird version of a derp 🤣
The Saint Louis Zoo has Tawny Frogmouths, and they are one of my favorite things at the zoo.
I love these "I'm so amazed by this animal" videos of yours
In context of convergent evolution: there are birds called potoo that share a lot of traits with frogmouths, like huge eyes, nocturnal lifestyle and choice of prey.
Also, they have excellent camouflage and have absolutely hilarious photos when googled.
Frogmouth: created by Jim Henson for the Dark Crystal movie. Escaped from the set into nature.
You two, I’m so glad you vlog and write, and do everything that you do! Thank you ❤️
I love frogmouths so much! They're some of the wackiest birbs.
Absolutely. Frogmounths deserve the unwavering attention and love of everyone.
Frogmouths are my favorite bird!!!!!!!!!!!!
I became a fan of the tawny frogmouth while traveling in Australia. As you say, remarkable bird -- and I always loved that "look, I'm a log" pose that they used to avoid detection.
How have I NEVER heard of this animal?? Also, point to the “eyes look intelligent”. Bald eagles. Very smart looking, but it turns out just very petty.
Tawny Frogmouths are my most favorite bird. I love these clumsy angry fluff balls. I am so excited that Pin Pals has now covered two of my favorite animals in the world.
Are the Pootoo birds frog mouths or just neatly related.
Potoos are related, but are not frogmouths.
@@vlogbrothers Thank you! @nefarioustv will be very relieved. Or likely just more bugged out! #butisOpieOKthough
There's a pair of tawny frogmouths that nest in our garden each year and let me tell you, those babies are ADORABLE. also... they've not lost any to gravity yet!
This is the kind of quality content I want to see
As an Australian, this video makes me so happy :). We have them visit our home sometimes.
"I hope that we sell them." oh come on. The friggin letter openers sold out and you didn't even advertise them on your channel. What are you worried about ?
Well, Dear Hank and John has big enough audience these days.
Letter openers? I thought those were tiny desk-swords.
@@tleilaxu42 They're much closer to the shape of an artist's palette than to that of a sword...
@@robertofontiglia4148 Lol, I know the actual dftba.com product wasn't the "desk sword" type of opener. Go listen to Dear Hank and John, episode 186 ;)
@@tleilaxu42 I did that; that's how I knew to go buy the letter opener in the first place...
I've never seen you so expressive. I love how it gives this bird's cuteness yet another level by moving you so.
If those masks don’t sell, ship em to Hong Kong
Careful, that kind of comment could get his whole channel demonitized and possibly get his next Made In China product laced with anthrax
I live in HK, was present at a random police action in my local area where there was no issue until the police turned up to intimidate the regular population and the whole body of citizens just turned right against them jeering and heckling. The HK Police are totally acting out.
Tawny frogmouths are one of my favourite birds! I love that when they camouflage they have their beaks raised up and they just look so proud to be looking like a tree branch
"This is the worst thing we've ever done" indeed, Hank. Were the Pizza John masks one of your brilliant business ideas?
tawny frogmouths are legitimately my favourite animals! i fell in love with them after getting to hold one at a local animal park quite a few years ago. it was soft, auspicious, owl zen all rolled into this one amazing creature sitting on my fingers. i couldn't get over it! 😮
I fully expected this video to be about the mouths of frogs but this was better 🙌🏼
Frogmouths are so wonderful, I've had a couple of them in my yard at night and they're very lovely.
"I just wanna squish it!" 😂😂😂😂😂
I died...
Tawny Frogmouths have been my favourite birds for years, I am so glad you have discovered them and are sharing the frogmouth love. ❤
"Ugh, ugh my heart, I just wanna squish it" hank green 2k19
Love that you cover animals regularly! I’d never heard of this one, and the enthusiasm you show magnifies my own.
"I hope that we sell them" Checks stock on website: Sold out..... :|
Growing up in Australia, in primary school we learnt about Tawny Frogmouths and their branch imitating camouflage. They sometimes hang around street lights catching bugs that are attracted to the light.
"You've probably never heard of Frogmouths." Hank, we see the popular page of Reddit too.
Or maybe that Hank was in Australia only a few weeks ago.
Tawny frogmouths are AWESOME one of my favourite underappreciated Australian birds.
"This is the worst thing that we have ever done and I love it"🤣
I petted one when I was a kid at a hands-on exhibit, and my life was CHANGED FOREVER. (Ok, maybe not really, but I still remember it 20 years later...so it was definitely awesome).
Yes! New weird animal facts!! Hank's monthly weird animals!
I grew up in Australia on a farm where we had frogmouths visit all the time. They are awesome. Thanks for this video
I had a very sick Frogmouth, I was afraid he would croak. So I took him to the Doctor... specifically, Doctor Who.
I've had a few great experiences with Tawney Frogmouths back in Tasmania. Extremely friendly and confident creatures.
"if ravens had eyes like owls, we'd let them teach kindergarten"
I, too, LOVE the FROGMOUTHS! I love that they pretend to be wood when asleep. I love their giant eyes & mouths. I love that the babies look like unfinished muppets from Jim Henson. I, also, love potoos! Thank you for giving a shoutout to frogmouths, they rock & so do you!
this is the worst thing that we've ever done, AND I LOVE IT!
YASSS!
We had some in our backyard. They're awesome. They're definitely good at camo. They had a nest and a chick and sometimes we could spot them and sometimes we couldn't. Wonderful birbs
I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS EARLY
I love tawny frogmouths. Australia has so many wonderful birds
This 3:43 video was uploaded two minutes ago, and it already has a dislike. I sense a salty owl somewhere.
This genus is so interesting and cute. I love their calls. I had opportunity to hold a potoo and thei feathers were the softest thing I have ever touched (not exaggerating)!
hank, if you see this, i secretly wish you were my dad. you have big big dad energy.
I'm always so excited when I see a tawny frogmouth, because they're so damn hard to see!!
I'm glad you let the world know about them, they're delightful!
Also, at this time of year, any bird that doesn't swoop is a friend of mine!
Tawny frog mouths are amazing. And the likelihood you'll ever see one in the wild is so small, because they just blend in so gosh darn well! I love them :)
We have tawny frogmouths at my work! Seriously the cutest! They always look so disgruntled it makes my heart turn to goo. 🥰
