Bird Expert Answers Bird Tweets From Twitter 🐦 | Tech Support | WIRED
Do I know anything about birds? No.
Do I have an interest in birds? No.
Did I watch this entire video and was super invested the entire time? Yes.
All except the last part for me
Did anyone ask? No
@@canyadigit6274 are you funny? Yes
Is it birds? No. Is it bOrds? Yes.
@@maniakid don't let the grammar police know
I think he actually knows why the chicken crossed the road..
Ok
The followup we need.
He’ll never tell you
The chicken is actually dead, and is crossing to the other side. I thought this was common knowledge by now?
And if it came before the egg
I love how at the end he says 'Happy Birding'
I appreciate him thinking I will bird, I will not, but it was so thoughtful and sweet
Thoughtful and tweet*
@@posepause8703 yes yes yes
You really should
If you see any ol' random bird and think, "Cute bird," congratulations, you're birding! Welcome to the family. :)
@@JillKnapp i don’t bird, however i will lay my life down for a group of chinese painted quails (i think) near me hahahaha they’re so funny and egg shaped
I like how he got slightly defensive when the question said birds were stupid😂💜 "-try finding yourself somewhere without GPS"
I noticed that too haha!
@Liver Success misread that as orthodontist
Even with advanced GPS, I'm still trying to find myself... maybe someday
Birds are so fascinating. I could sit in front of this dude like a six-year-old asking bird questions for hours.
Same!
Same!
Yes! With my legs crossed sitting on the floor raising my hand up after every question before asking the next one.
I don't have much interest in birds. But this dude, with his expertise, his cuteness and his excitement made me spend 15 learning a lot of things I didn't know I needed. I love this series.
You actually do have much interest in birds.
get a room
I have found that anyone can make you interested in anything if they are properly educated and have enough passion on a topic.
Why so many comments like “I don’t like birds, but watched...”
Who doesn’t like birds?!?!? They’re awesome!!!
Literally gravity-defying dinosaurs, and yet we hear and see them everyday and think nothing of it, lol
seriously! I took a whole class on birds in college, one of my fave courses
@@tasnimjackson5709 College has a class dedicated to birds?
@@ezekielx5 My college did. It was an elective called Biology of Birds.
Sheldon Cooper wants to know your location.
This guy rocks!
Some of the answers he refused to give direct conclusions because he wished for "you" the viewer to go out and find the truth. He's pointed multiple times towards a birding guide book, or going outside and finding the answers yourself through observation.
He isn't just providing answers, he encourages better answers through self-initiated journey.
He gave everyone who watched, the tools to stop asking other people and begin asking questions to ourselves that we can answer through the tools he gave.
BRILLIANT teacher!
Thank you for your time, please come on again soon.
He's not actually. He's still perpetrating myths & debunked stuff & straight out wrong info. He suggested cuckoos remove an egg so that the birds won't know they're raising a cuckoo, this is a proven myth, birds know full well when they're raising a cuckoo baby
Not sure if "brilliant teacher" qualifies for a teacher that would not give the answer on an educational video :P
He did get one thing wrong. The loudest bird is actually my pet cockatoo when I don't open the blinds in front of her cage before the sun comes up.
Goodness. A lot of very early mornings for you!
You got me there. Thought you were going to mansplain birds to a bird expert 😬
I really love the additional use of stock images/videos/audios to help illustrate the expert's explanation. I hope WIRED continues to do this in future videos!
Yes exactly
A couple things that were not mentioned.
1. One hypothesis about why birds lack teeth. It's a weight thing, bird beaks are made of keratin (same material as your nails) if you wanna be aerodynamic you're going to have to be lighter, every gram counts
2. Birds have the most effecient respiratory system of any animal on earth. They are actually able to oxygenate their blood as they exhale!
Also ducks and geese have what kind of looks like "teeth" called lamellae and / or tomia.
Also technically every bird has a “tooth”, the egg tooth, which is on the tip of a fetus’s/hatchling’s beak. It’s used to break the eggshell and discarded soon after hatching
@@pho3nix- Yeah, I was wondering about that. Geese can BITE, not just peck!
also imagine a bird with teeth, sounds creepy asf
I think beaks are for digging and foraging in small gaps, and they really don't need to chew because their food is so small.
“How do birds not get cold. I feel like they need a jacket.” 😂
I thought he was going to address penguin, duck, and geese feet but he focused on the downy feathers. Little Penguins have a reduced sensitivity in their feet so when there's a fire they could step on hot embers and burn their feet but not feel it when they walk over the embers.
I am not opposed to seeing a Cardinal in Minnesota wearing a little sweater or hoodie, that would be adorable
This man is so cute and his enthusiasm is infectious! I love the Tech Support series and this is one of my favourites so far. Maybe you could have him on again to talk about ecology, or rate bird scenes in movies? idk would love to see him again!
I think this ep is such a perfect example of why I love this series...when your job is so hyprrspecialised generally you gotta love that thing! And there's nothing more fun than listening to someone talk about something they are passionate about ❤️
Unless they're a whale biologist ;)
I absolutely adore the way he says bird
Birds are so fascinating. I love watching them when they’re in a huge flock. Also I love goose honks ☺️
I like how Sahas Barve elaborated each of his questions in depth, unlike some of the other presenters we've seen in these videos. I fully grasped the concept of each explanation. Thanks!
Anyone else love the way he says "boirds"? :) Love these videos and learning outside of my interests!
Me too.
sounds like birbs to me
I can't believe no one asked what the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow was.
What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
These were actually really worthwhile bird questions.
This guy did such a fantastic job explaining bird knowledge. Makes me want to go birding for the first time!
And I still can't believe Wired got Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't to do the video for botany 'tech support.' You guys are killing it.
As an avid bird watcher,this video is such a treat!
When I was in college, there were two Canadian geese outside the door of the cafeteria. They were honking angrily and were trying to get in. I think they knew there was food in there.
Please, bring this guy back! I love to listen to him talking about birds :D
the twitter questions in this episode are some of the best ones asked throughout the Tech Support series!! Many are concise but can spark your genuine interest in the topic, and some are so simple that they sound like children's wonders or shower thoughts that everybody once had
Can we PLEASE GET SEVERAL MORE VIDEOS OF THIS I loved it so much
The whole time i was waiting for him to address the 3 birds lying in front of the table...
11:14 that "I don't know" such a chill pill
for all the folks who don't like birds, try putting a bird feeder beside a window! I love watching all the different little song birds and how curious they are, looking in the window and checking things out 😂
But is he an expert in bird law?
Only if he goes by the name Harvey as a second persona 😂
Yes.
bird law?? what?
@@treebles th-cam.com/video/qcderLXiwa8/w-d-xo.html
@@DevjKaiser or Charlie
This was such a good episode! As a bird enthusiast, I learned so many cool facts. 😃
Is anybody else absolutely in love with the way he pronounces "bird" sort of like "bord?" It's adorable! 🥰 I love accents (and of course have one myself, when speaking foreign languages.)
Tech support is easily becoming my favourite series on TH-cam
3:08 "I can follow my finger without turning..."
- Proceeds to turn his body AND head 😂
He's great!
The “shut up geese!” guy killed me. 🤣
Patiently waiting for part 2. Sahas was great.
Love birds. Sitting in the back yard, early spring and just watching species after species passing through is fascinating and calming.
If you really want to see them in action try hiding fruit, veggies ect in enrichment toys and watch how they interact and get the food out. They are very inquisitive animals and very curious and will always check them out if there’s food in them
Wow i listened to this guys talk at iiser in india he has come a long way! Great to see him do popular science. This is the dream for me, even i am pursuing a career in ecology. What we need next is bug support!! 😁🦗🐞
th-cam.com/video/y62n5lkLBs4/w-d-xo.html here it is!
There's insect support
i could watch this gentleman talk about birds for a very long time
One more comment: I was walking to my car in a parking lot at night and a barn owl flew right over me, very close. I could see all the details of his feathers etc. He was totally silent. It was amazing. I love birds
That's very cool. Some of my favorite owl encounters have been in the snow, which already dampens sound around you. National Audubon Society says: "Owl feathers have a leading edge shaped like a comb and a trailing edge with a fringe; these funnel air smoothly over the wing and dampen the sound. An owl's enormous wings, relative to its body size, also provide greater lift and enable it to fly slowly-as few as two miles per hour."
@@rfrolicarts the owl that flew over my head was going pretty slow. It’s amazing how their feathers allow them to make no noise.
Please do another one of these! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
This gentleman is SO engaging and fun. Thanks for your sharing your love of birds!
There should be a Wired class room where it's random teachers each day 🤣
I know he meant a bird guide book when he said "Your bird guide will tell you.." but I like to picture a person who's knowledgeable about birds being hired as somebody's "bird guide" for any bird related questions. I'd love that job.
Loved this, Wired! He is so fun to watch! Would love to see him back in the future! 🦉
Wow, I had no idea that birds basically have build in glasses in their eyes, which they can just activate to keep the wind out of their eyes. Epic.
Of all my favorite bird sounds, I didn't think anything could top a mourning dove's call... but Sahas saying "bird" may have just taken first place. My heart is about to explode. :)
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you WIRED and Mr Barve!
I love this guy, I already want him to come back. Bird people are the best!
I don't have a particular interest in birds but this was fascinating. Thanks for sharing and I'd be happy to see this guy again!
i really appreciate when Dr Barve says "we don't know how xyz works"
well he doesn't maybe, but the stuff he's describing there IS known
Love birds, and love the video! Thank you for making and posting this.
Yes! I remember asking specifically for this a while back!
You did it
Wired are killing it with these videos
I love these vids especially the ones with subject I didn't think I cared about. Now I care.
Living for this! Great video!
This has been really interesting! I felt like a little kid gobbling on all those fun facts and always waiting for more.
Loved it!! Amazingly informative and curious!!❤
I actually love this! I studied Zoology, so it was cool hearing someone talk about birds! But I also learnt alot too!
really? I was disappointed in his lack of knowledge & wrong info
@@mehere8038 can you tell me what was the wrong info so I can learn
@@miao7002 replying so I'll know too!
This was one of the most educational episodes!!
This is so interesting! Love watching this gentleman answering all the questions~
One of the most likable guys on this channel
The natural world never ceases to amaze me
WE NEED MORE OF THESE
Bird Questions Part 2 requested :D Thanks Sahas for answering the questions.
What a fun episode! Encore! More birds asap!
Was never disappointed by this series 💯👍
Definitely one of the better videos of this type (*-support). Well done.
Please bring him back!! This was extremely informative!
I love birds and bird watching so watching this is like taking a class and it's awesome
I have a bird that is more like a companion than a pet. It's so cool to hear his passion paired with knowledge. Cool video. Birds are underrated.
This guy was the bomb! Learned a lot.
This was super helpful to watch! Thanks!
i love this person! So knowledgeable and made it funny too! Amazing!
Awesome video! A million thanks to Sahas and wired !
Ive been waiting for this one soon bad!
+1 for Merlin. Has been really useful as I've started spotting birds, etc.
Great presentation Mr. Barve. Thank you.
Merlin is nice, but don't let it become a crutch!
This guy is awesome. I could watch him talk about birds for hours.
I feel like he just kinda glossed over the fact that BIRDS CAN NAVIGATE BY THE STARS
He glossed over & didn't seem to know a lot of stuff about birds actually
@@mehere8038 he was answering the questions, not giving a full lesson on each
@@acornautumn9927 Been ages since I watched, so I can't give an example right now, but no, that's not what he was doing, his bird knowledge is just extremely limited! It was apparent with a lot of his answers
@@mehere8038 it seems you say this sort of thing on a lot of expert q&as… what’s your opinion on Dr. Dunning and Kruger lol!
@@mehere8038 You're always commenting negative crap on these type of videos. Begone!
Finally, someone answered all the questions I had about birds for so many years 🤔
Super informative and interesting! 🐦
Came here after listening to his presentation for a tenured position at cal poly Humboldt 😁 this is great
thank you Sahas. this was the best video ever. im about to share this with my friends
Was about to say how cute and informative this guy is at the same time, then I read the comments! We must protect this man! WIRED, give us more of Sahas, please!
Excellent presentation
Thank you
This guy is great! I hope they have him on again.
Thank you for sharing knowledge!
I watched the whole thing and I wasn’t planning on it so good job. :)
I’m just going to comment again that I love this guy and want 100 million more bird support videos
Birds are the best
The bird equivalent of a Labrador mating with a collie would be like a Brahma chicken mating with a Rhode island red rooster. Same species different types.
And the bird equivalent of a wolf mating with a coyote to make a coywolf would be like a chicken breeding with a pheasant. Different species but closely related enough for it to happen.
I love watching a real expert talk about their thing. #BirdBoss
This one was great, i learned a lot.
Birds are the best! I've two parakeets and they're so smart and funny! And absolutely adorable 🥰
So interesting! I think birds are fascinating and it’s always fun to learn more.
4:32 it's aerodynamic advantage. Yes!!! I feel smart 😂
Thank you, i like bords and seems like you like them more/ Also i can't wait a next video with you talking about parrots.
I love birds, they are so interesting! Thank you for this video ❤️
Smart how they acquire charismatic professionals to keep us interested and invested.
I wouldn’t have guessed that the behaviour of birds is this spellbir(n)ding ;).
I have two questions left:
- how do birds know when to fly south/ where to meet and when to start flying? you sometimes see them all meeting on a field and then suddenly all birds fly up.
- do birds who migrate south in the winter stay with the same birds they flew last year or do the make “new friends” each year?
Thanks for the great video and fascinating topic!
more plz!!!
