  • From incredible heights, birds watch over the earth and go where they please. They have uniquely-built skills and dangerous traits like you won't believe, especially when they look as graceful as some incredible species we will cover today. Today, we will show you everything from birds big enough to attack toddlers, to majestic but deadly kings of the sky that are even lethal for their own kind. There’s even one that uses its massive, powerful talons to hunt other birds! Keep your eyes peeled because we have some species of birds you're definitely going to want to avoid from here on out…. stick around for the whole video, and you might learn why!

    I once saw a duck hawk (peregrine falcon) stuck in our barn/garage. It was a juvenile, flying into a window inside again and again, trying to get out. Not sure how it got in there. I grabbed a towel to protect my arms and hands (knowing it was no protection at all if the bird wished to claw me), and walked towards it, and gently grabbed it. It immediately calmed as it knew I meant it no harm as I talked calmly to it. Held it for a few moments, calming it further, as I walked it towards the door of the barn. I opened up the towel, let it sit on my arm, and it sat there a brief moment, perhaps a second or two, spread its wings, and looked me in the eye as if to say "thanks, i needed that", then jumped into flight so quickly, it was astonishing....and just like that, it was gone. And despite what this animal was capable of, not one scratch on me at all.

      Used to do training downtown Calgary (where this species was repopulated when it almost became extinct) due to how they were able to form a symbiotic relationship with skyscrapers and even with the pollution seem to thrive here. While I did training where our smoking area was must have been beneath a aerie nest cause almost daily we would be sitting there and “smack” magpies and pigeons would smash into the concrete beside us only to look up and barely see the blur of the bird diving at 200 mph come to an abrupt stop on the prey break its neck to assure its dead dead and fly back up. Quite an impressive site to see and the bird is basically the same size as a pigeon.

    We had a barred owl (Cicero) when I was a kid, he slept in the barn and would come down when we called or when we had food for him. He never left because he was blind in one eye and one of his wings was damaged due to a car accident, so after we came back from the vet he lived in the barn and stayed there for safety. He also helped us by eating any rats that tried to live in the barn too.

      Agreed...!!! I've been in the avian field for nearly 35yrs now. Having "hands on" experience with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey. And you right in saying this CLEARLY did not go into which bird Eagles are afraid of. And that's probably because their really aren't any. They sit at the very top of the avian predator chain so too speak. And while they might get mobbed by smaller birds. They certainly aren't afraid of them. When you have Martial Eagles taking down big prey like monkeys etc...And Golden Eagles taking down anything from coyotes to antelopes. Their isn't much these birds need to be afraid of sitting as high up as they do in the pecking order.

      Have the idolaters not seen the birds that are subdued and designed to fly in the air because of the wings that Allah granted them along with the lighteness and delicate nature of the air? He inspired them to close and open their wings. No one keeps them from falling in the air except Allah, the Powerful. In this subjugation and holding them from falling there are signs for people who have faith in Allah, because they are the ones who benefit from such signs and lessons.

    to help protect their livestock
    It would be interesting for you to feature this Majestic bird.
    It is also interesting to note that even though they are trained by man to perform this function they are only kept in service for a handful of years and then released to the wild as part of a respectful tradition the tribesmen have for these beautiful creatures.

      I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 2:31

They used the birds so the pelts wouldn’t be damaged since they needed them for clothing to stay warm. They practiced the same methods and traditions. They released them so they could breed and keep populations up.

      Well, I am from Kazakhstan, i.e. from exactly the place of the tradition you are talking about (since in Mongolia it's ethnic Kazakhs who hunt with eagles, not the Mongolians). Moreover, my father trains golden eagles and has learned it from a Kazakh Berkuchi (eagle hunter). Now, here's some uncomfortable truth for you: most of what you saw and what you believe is BS and pretending. The eagles are 1. generally not used to hunt wolves, but to hunt foxes (and other smaller animals). The wolf-thing is just a big bragging and showing off. Golden eagles are generally not strong enough to hunt and kill adult wolves, I tell you more: they are generally not even strong enough to kill foxes, they are used to catch and hold the fox until the hunter comes and kills the fox with his "dagger" (btw. all of you just go and look up the body masses of animals (like golden eagles and wolves) on wikipedia apart from only watching hype videos: a lot of BS myths will be debunked right away). 2. Even if hunting with eagles would been used to hunt wolves (which it isn't), the idea of protecting livestock against predators by using eagles is unbelievable BS if you know anything about the stuff involved (wolf attacks, livestock husbandry and eagle-hunting). It would take too long to explain, but let's just say that how every part of it works makes the idea ridiculous. 3. Although it is true that the eagles often are released after some years (more typically is that they would escape themselves before that), the "respect for nature by noble savages" stuff, that romanticism is the imagination of modern (mostly Western) people. Most Kazakhs treat their birds (as they treat most of their animals) pretty brutally and not respectful at all (at least not in the way Western people imagine it). So here you go, I hope you aren't too sad learning the truth about life.

      that involved two Berkut Eagles one flipped the wolf on its back and tied up its hind legs with its Talons while the other one struck in the throat and face.
      It was almost eerie to see the wolf running and looking up into the sky and knowing it's fate that was descending upon it.
      A wild adult wolf fighting for its life is nothing to be trifled with however its tail was between its legs and the wolf clearly knew it was outmatched.

My experience with these awesome aviators has always amazed--many species can be extremely intelligent. While camping in North Carolina I had a great horned owl as a guest. It hung around my campsite for about 2 hours, and being alone, I enjoyed talking to it and hearing him talk back with its "Whoo-whoo" sounds. Personally, I feel the Golden Eagle is one of the most awesome and majestic creatures, but the Snowy Owl is the most gorgeous, at least of this particular grouping.

    I'm surprised that the Peregrine Falcon wasn't even mentioned (unless I fell asleep for a quick nap). However, the Falcon is one bad-azz bird of prey, even though they are smaller. Their speed and agility through tight spaces at high speed are incredible. Case in point, I was walking down my 2nd story apartment to go to my garage and I heard a loud thump, like a baseball bat hitting the wall next to me. I turned and looked and saw a Falcon breaking the neck of a pigeon on the ground just 6 feet from me. Funny though, when the Falcon saw me, he/she was as surprised as I was and took off to another building's balcony as I walked towards it's kill. He/she just looked at me while I investigated the pigeon. The pigeon was done for, so I walked away. As I was driving past the kill zone, the pigeon was gone as well as the Falcon, which I presume he/she took the pigeon away for dinner. I wish I had a video of the whole thing, but it was unexpected at best. Falcons are incredible!

    The most vicious and fearless bird I know of is the common grey house cockatiel, specifically, one of the two tiels I currently own. He is utterly fearless when he is in his moody territorial mode, and will swoop and attack anyone walking through his red zone, or spring forth from under the bed like a ninja to bite any feet that walk past. And then fly up to attack the face of anyone who dodged the foot attack. But he's not always like this, more than half the time he's friendly and will fly up to your shoulder for a friendly visit and scratch, often immediately after he's tried to attack someone. He picks fights with the chihuahua and always wins. But that isn't too surprising considering he often picks fights with humans a thousand times his weight and wins.

I held its legs and the eagle's back against my chest while the chief handler coped her beak. I was apprehensive all the time, feeling the power of her legs and gazing at her formidable claws while my supervisor treated her. It took nearly all my arm strength to hold her safely. She was Kergus, the bird that used to star in the Pan American commercials decades ago. People think it was a Bald Eagle but not, it was a Golden Eagle.

    I've been in the avian field for nearly 35yrs now. Having "hands on" experience with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey. And some folks were correct in saying this CLEARLY did not go into which bird Eagles are afraid of. And that's probably because their really aren't any. They sit at the very top of the avian predator chain so too speak. And while they might get mobbed by smaller birds. They certainly aren't afraid of them. When you have Martial Eagles taking down big prey like monkeys etc...And Golden Eagles taking down anything from coyotes to antelopes. Their isn't much these birds need to be afraid of sitting as high up as they do in the pecking order.

    I live in Tasmania ,Australia and home to some of the biggest wedge tail eagles around . A few years ago I was on a back road late one afternoon in my car . I came round a bend and couldn't believe what I saw . On the road was a dead wallaby . On that wallaby feeding was a massive female , She was nearly totally dark brown and black . when she was fully erect and looking at me from 30 metres away she was every bit of 120 cm to the top of her head . That's over 4 foot tall . The wallaby carcass was almost gone .. She wasn't keen on moving either . I sat there mesmerized by this majestic bird . Eventually I drove closer and eventually she performed the famous wedge tail dance to get airborne but as she re landed in a partially dead tree about 50 metres away she broke a branch as she landed and had to re-aviate again ..Truly magnificent ..

After showing it, they stated that the first view was slow motion footage. Then they played the event at true speed. There was the sloth in the tree, then BANG, the eagle was there and it was gone. It hit the sloth at 55 miles an hour, breaking its spine in two places and killing it instantly. It was jaw-dropping to see.

They dont even bother my dogs. Ive never felt intimated by them and i honestly think they enjoy being around people. They are used to seeing me and im used to seeing them. Its just where we live. They have their territory and it happens to be inside my territory. They are nt the dangerous cold blooded killers you make em seem to be.
    Yes they could seriously fuck up a kid or small animal but i see what they are doing. They find a specific branch every night. They search for squirrels, rats, racoons, snakes, lizards, etc and once they see movement they dive and kill, go back in the tree and eat till they spot more food. In the florida swamps they are alpha and never hungry so maybe thats why they are so friendly, idk. I know the hawks and crows dont stay out passed night time cuz they cant compete for food.

      Have the idolaters not seen the birds that are subdued and designed to fly in the air because of the wings that Allah granted them along with the lighteness and delicate nature of the air? He inspired them to close and open their wings. No one keeps them from falling in the air except Allah, the Powerful. In this subjugation and holding them from falling there are signs for people who have faith in Allah, because they are the ones who benefit from such signs and lessons.

    The Wedge-Tailed Eagle is Australian, and known to kill sheep and take sheep, dogs, kangaroos - anything short of a cow. They absolutely dwarf the Bald Eagle and are a real delight to see in the wild. We have them all over where I live in rural Western Australia.

      Why is everyone spewing BS on such videos? No, the wedge-tailed eagle doesn't "absolutely dwarf" the bald eagle (just look up Wikipedia for once) and if it takes the animals you mentioned, at best it can successfully hunt small and unimpressive versions of any of them. So it's not "anything short of a cow", but "something short of a cow", i.e. something being the thing that is short of both a cow and a small, skinny and ill sheep.

They just want to be out there and well away from people.

    Back then there used to bells in small villages in the Philippines. When a Phil eagle is sighted, they would ring the bell to get the kids inside the house. There's cases of kids taken. These apex predators evolved to have white feathers underwing so almost impossible to see in flight. They're amazing in open skies but deadly in forests bec of their maneuverability, they have the largest wing surface area for raptors. Very endangered bec of deforestation, human encroachment of their hunting ground.

    Good video.
    Modern technology has brought us 24-hour nest cams for many different species of birds around the globe. A great way to learn about your favorite birds.
    A few years ago, I was watching a Golden Eagle nest stream from Norway. There were a couple hungry eaglets in the nest and the parents were constantly bringing food to the nest. One day, a parent eagle brought a live black lamb to the nest. Very freaky. Couldn't determine the actual size and weight of the lamb from my remote location, but it was probably a newborn. I couldn't watch the lamb being eaten alive.

    You compiled a lot of crazy footage of these amazing birds. Most of which I hadnt seen before. Although some scene's were hard to watch I learned a lot. Thank you for not softening the reality of their ways. Wondering if you ever expand the lesson to include more on what the effect humans contribute to their plight? Something you hinted at for several birds on the list.

      I know this was a fun video but I suggest maybe watching one that's a little better researched and a little more serious. I hate to think anyone learned much from this. There were just so many errors and phoned in factoids. It can leave the wrong impression about some things. I listed the ones I spotted in my comment if you're interested. Or I can put them here if you want. I'm not trying to bug you with a wall of text.
