@Elizabeth Adventurer nope!! It’s a Princess Bride reference! Depending on how old you are you may or may not know what it is, but it’s an older movie about pirates and romance and such! Definitely a classic tho!!!
Lol! Shane was stretching the truth a bit, though. He probably got a bit of a zap and went back for more. (I used to work as a camp counselor on a horse farm with electric fences and we would dare each other to touch it. Nobody declined to try it, and the anticipation was worse than the shock.)💥
Hi y'all 👋🏻 I work for the LA Audubon Society and just want to thank you for giving us some recognition! A lot of people confuse us with other Audubons or have no idea who we are. We're not just a bird club, we focus on access, restoration, and protection of greenspaces for wildlife (like birds) and people (like you coming in to film during Open Wetlands and/or kids from inner city schools that are invited for free fieldtrips) I really enjoyed this episode. Made me miss being there with the kiddos. And Ryan, thanks for sharing that fascinating fact about fire hawks ! Nature sure is metal and it shows how smart birds really are making the term "bird brain" redundant
weird thing to mention but I always appreciate how shane is simultaneously taller than just about every woman he meets and is still incredibly non-threatening w his body language, never leaning in too much, I really appreciate men like him
Shane exudes Dad energy with his friends and I can relate because I excuse Mom energy 😂 when I go out with friends I’m always making sure everyone stays hydrated, doing the regular head counts to make sure we didn’t lose anyone, and just generally taking care.
Shane: "My father and I, we had a pond. And a pesky blue herring kept showing up and eating our koi. We put up an electric fence around the pond, and I electrocuted myself on it." Ryan: "One time I went to Lego Land and bird landed on my head!"
Ryan reminds me of teaching elementary kids. "Have you ever heard of a fire hawk?" "One time I went to Legoland and a bird landed on my head." (I loved how the guide said "Okay." and started to walk on down the trail after that! haha) He uses the binoculars to spy on people. He is afraid of bees. It takes 20 minutes to get him to see what you are pointing at. He yells "Fowl!" at the birds on the water. "You have to wish for it, then they will flock toward you." No wonder I like Ryan, he is an elementary student/grown up! :)
Yo Ryan was right! There are at apparently several birds/raptors, I believe mostly in Australia, that are call “fire hawks” as a sort of moniker for the way they use smoldering branches to hunt for prey. I don’t think that is their official name but they are for sure a real thing!
@@whythenumber As a fellow Australian, they are a real thing! It's not just one type of bird, iirc its a few different types of birds which are commonly found out in N.T., like the whistling kite, black kite, and some kind of falcon i think. It's also not a common thing, but it is definitely real -- there's a huge link between fire and birds (and also these firehawks) in traditional Aboriginal mythologies (unlike drop bears which were a hoax to scare tourists, nothing more).

"FOR THOUSANDS of years Australia’s indigenous people have spoken about ‘firehawk’ raptors that intentionally spread bushfires in order to corner their prey.

That is so cute
I like how they’re qualifications include

Loll 😂

when we say "likes chicken".. do we mean the actual living chicken or.. fried chicken? 💀🐔🍗
@@bwingbwinggwiyomi cooked chicken
Ryan saying he wants a bird to dive-bomb him reminds me of every single time Shane has told a ghost to murder him
Same energy for sure. Otherwise he'll never see 'em 🤣
I have a nest of swallows next to my house and they dive bomb me every time I go outside T-T
just go near a grackle they do that
At least the bird actually has a chance of causing him damage.
exact same energy
Shane: its called a murder
Ryan: did someone say murder 😃
*Ricky: did someone say MURDER???
My boy got so excited
Beware, the Squadron of Pelicans has arrived!
Still unsolved
When Ryan grabbed Shane’s arm to look down it to find the hummingbird, that was the cutest thing ever
I screamed because of how adorable it was it reminded me of a lil kid using their dads arm
Estrella 8:17
I love how Shane can probably see it better because he’s like a full head taller than Ryan 😂
That was so adorable!!
All on his toes, wonderful

Ryan’s fire-hawk story is a real thing! They’re Australian, which might explain why Cindy hadn’t heard of them.
Australia is nature’s chaotic evil alignment

Ah, yes, Australia: where everything wants to kill you
That’s awesome that they’re real, but very chaotic

“A gaggle of crows!”
“A murder of crows.”
“Oh, murder! I like that!”
This is already amazing
i came to the comment section specially for this comment
Shane looks like a dad taking his son out to get him away from those darn video games.
He doesn’t just look like it, he ISS
Bold of you to assume he isn't.
i mean.. it's not like he's his daddy or anything...
@@oooh19 mio's comment was a reference to a BuzzFeed Unsolved video
Hahaha so true
Shane: talking about electrocuting himself
Ryan: a bird landed on me at LEGO land once
they're like borderlands npcs
They're so cute, I love them.
Lol! Shane was stretching the truth a bit, though. He probably got a bit of a zap and went back for more. (I used to work as a camp counselor on a horse farm with electric fences and we would dare each other to touch it. Nobody declined to try it, and the anticipation was worse than the shock.)💥
That had same energy as Ryan almost got in car accident meanwhile Shane and his avocado meat :|
“Me, personally, I’m a bird man”
In the way you look like an elongated bird, yes
10/10 name
Alien Cow why thank you
'what are you? stupid!"
"i just cant see it, you dont need to call me dumb"
lmao i am dying
The tone Ryan uses when he said dumb lmao
That was so cute lol
Ryan growing increasingly frustrated trying to spot the hummingbird, even with all of Shane's emphatic pointing, is me on every family nature outing 😂
ryan's FASCINATING legoland story gets completely ignored smh
lmfao I was waiting for someone else to mention this
it felt very wholesome
petition to hear ryan's legoland story on ww
Omg I had to rewatch that part twice to make sure I heard him correctly. I thought that hysterical how they just ignored his story
That's ok. I wasn't really interested in finishing my thought." - Ryan Bergara
Ryan and Shane get left alone for ONE second and already end up talking about owl sex why are they such dorks dhj
idk why but ryan has lots of soft energy in this. esp that “you didn’t have to call me stupid!!” bit was very boyish. 10/10 vibes
Can't believe we trust Ryan to find ghosts when he can't see a real, physical hummingbird.
🗣️🗣️🗣️
"W-why are your hands so shaky?"
*Ryan looks directly at the camera*
"I'm a shaky man"
Reminds me of the 21st August episode of Here's What You Do. A shaky handed lad.
Kinda creepy. Lol.
“I’ll keep you my dirty little egret” the way they sang that in harmony I can’t
Timestamp? Please ;v;
Daniela COM 16:00
Ryan: points to a group of shirtless college guys
"That right there's a gaggle of white claws."
"I love it, Ryan. I want you to know that I love it." Hard same, Shane.
Can't wait till Watcher has the budget to send Ryan and Shane outside of LA for this show.
fr theres so many cool places they could make episodes about
Yo, imagine if they go on route 66
even just SB and near there you can see Osprey and Bald Eagles at Lake Cachuma, so that might be a good twofer for them.
Lol!!!
well in the last episode they were in Irvine, which is Orange County. It's only about an hour away but at least it wasn't LA lol
Shane: We're here in Ballona Wetlands to answer the question: Are birds real?
Ryan: *Shakes head*
This is the comment I didn’t know I needed
top tier comment
This is what I felt.
My my how the turntables
Ryan’s version of “All women are queens” is “All birds are 10s!” 😂
Ryan sounding like a 4 year old that has to add to the conversation: "One time I went to Lego land and a bird landed on my head!".
He was so cute!
I feel like this show is just an excuse for Shane to talk about his weird hobbies, it makes me love him even more 😂
shane: what are you, stupid??
ryan: i just can't see it, you don't need to call me dumb
➖💧👄💧➖
The tremble in his voice got me 😂
The funniest voice tremble
That was the best part 😂

Ray's like a dad taking his two squabbling sons on a day trip.
More like grandfather, and a father and his son
Ryan trying to find the hummingbird by standing on his tippy toes and following Shane’s arm was the highlight of the video
Ryan: “One time I went to LEGO land and a bird landed on my head!”
Guide: “OKAY so we’re gonna head on out...”

Hi y'all 👋🏻 I work for the LA Audubon Society and just want to thank you for giving us some recognition! A lot of people confuse us with other Audubons or have no idea who we are.

Ryan’s reaction to finding out a group of crows is called a “murder” is the same reaction I had. It’s that mystery and true crime curiosity bond.

flying is rad - can you blame him?

Ryan, a little excited: "There's a little bird right there. What's that? We got one in the sky!"
Ray: "Um, that's just a pigeon"

well shane did say he wanted to be as weird as possible now that he's in his thirties
"He looks like he has a lot of secrets" is officially my favorite comment I've ever heard about a bird. 😂😂
