The craftsmanship of birds is extraordinary. These little dinosaurs are so complex in how they manipulate their surroundings. It does amuse me how its seen as impressive for primates to build nests, when birds do the same but in far more complex and intricate ways, even if its mostly down to instinct. The fact theyre so diverse in their craftmanship is also astounding.
I was literally thinking while watching the video, that we lost the inspiration birds once gave us. I'd love to hide myself in a sock shaped tree hut instead of just another concrete slab.
Some really great information! With the mallee fowl nest, you were right the chick's hatch and are self sufficient and the parents are not around, but during the whole incubation period the parents are constantly adding and removing sand to keep the temperature perfect.
Please make more content on birds! I love them!! Thank you! I have pet weavers! (Orange Bishop weavers)Their nests really are extremely intricate, we give them twine and watch them weave it in and out like they are following a pattern. It’s also cool to know that they are born with the knowledge of how to weave their nests. We also have a bunch of canaries, they are also born knowing how to sing specific songs.
I loved this video. The sheer complexity and variety of nests never ceases to amaze me. Similarly I'd love to see a video about courtship rituals in birds/other animals!! On a similar track, perhaps one to do with homosexuality in the animal kingdom (its a very fascinating topic that I don't think gets talked about enough- which sort of makes it difficult to research actually haha) But I love seeing whatever you make as someone who has a great interest in ecology/zoology/ornithology etc.
@@Textbooktravel Uhhhhmmmmm... that penguin is demonstrating white male privilege and we try to avoid toxic behaviour like that. Delete it immediately-- THANKS!! #Feminism
A great video of a lively lake Amazing avian audio calls make a perfect sound track .Your detailed filming of the Pelicans is superb .Many thanks for sharing .Enjoy your week 👍👏🏻Greetings from Berlin , Helena .
Great footage and research all round! Loved the burrowing owls and their fascinating cavity nest. Having just created a nest video also, I can tell plenty of hours has gone into producing this entertaining and informative video 🦢
I wonder how much of the nest building techniques are hard-wired vs learned. It seems like there is probably a preponderance on the hard-wired side, which is both an amazing feat of nature, but also evolutionarily risky, in terms of potential overspecialization.
Totally! I started looking at bird groups over the weekend... this is going to take years! Haha! A video on the different types of songbird call would be fascinating. Thanks for commenting!
fascinating and beautiful. I am very happy I tried this video because this was a great vid. Beautiful to see so many complex shapes. I can only imagine what humans would have thought of these structures when they first found them.
Bowerbirds are very cool. The Vogelkop Bowerbird for instance lives in Papua New Guinea. Part of their population lives on a mountain. Another part lives in the valley. The two communities of bird are genetically identical, and yet, each community builds completely different bower structures and have different tastes with regard to decoration. That's right. Bird cultures within the same species, bird architecture even! TLDR: Same birds, different tastes in architecture and aesthetic design. Culture outside of humanity.
Yes, I have a matting pair of Gila Woodpeckers that live in my area. They have multiple nests. A Saguaro accross the street, a 25ft high palm tree in my backyard and last spring, the male and I had a bit of an issue when he was trying to apparently build a new nest in the back of my house! He caught on when I would caulk up his work...4 times! Last spring, they has 2 eggs. That means for around a month, I had one dead chick in my yard. The siblings apparently fight for all the attention...to the death!!! The remaining one screech from sun up to sun down for weeks! So much so, I got to the point to checking if the birds are protected. They are. Protected under s migratory bird act...even though they don't migrate. Yea, our govt at work as usual. Since it's about that time of the year.... Ive been playing alarm calls and drumming when they are by the palm tree. I wouldn't of course hurt them. I may have offered a cat in the area s 40 pound tuna should it encounter one. That screeching....not cool. That and the killing of siblings. Bit of a dick move.
the fact that a part of the world thought a nest made of bird spit was useful as a soup ingredient. this confused and impressed me. listen up kids, it's popular to eat the snot of birds in soup so eat your boogers they're good for you. lol
"[Barn swallow] nests are built over a period of one to two weeks" meanwhile one of the nests on my back porch got built in 4 days. Shit, why can't I hire that bird as a contractor?

How does nest building work in homosexual swan pairs? That's an interesting topic, since a lot of swan pairs are homosexual. I assume one of them is just decided to be material collector and the others the weaver, but which one? And if it is like then it means nest building isn't a totally instinctual behaviour, but it involves conscious thought as well.
It does. The reason you can only see the head is because the parents bury the eggs and abandon them, just like some reptiles. The bird head is simply just a baby maleo trying to dig out.

I wonder if the most complicated nests are built by the smartest birds? Or is it totally programmed by instincts.

One of those Peregrine Falcon nests was dusted in what was very clearly lorikeet feathers... don't think that ended well for the lorikeet.
