Ikr! This vid is really cool. I always noticed that vained feathers had barbs that you could split, but I didn't know you could put it back. And I've never even heard of the uyropigial gland, even in books about birds and stuff. Woah.
Growing up, we had a lot of ducks and I would sometimes play with the feathers when I see them on the ground. I would always separate them like at 2:41 and would put them back together. It was kinda satisfying. Now I learned why that was possible. Also, I didn't know they waxed themselves. Neat! I love birds and I am continually getting fascinated by them. Thanks for another great video!
The content that Deep Look creates is so amazing! I let my young niece and nephew watch it with me. Educational and mesmerising, once I start, I can't stop.
I had to study feathers in my university course for Animals. And I can be safe to say that this info is correct. Bird feathers are amazing. There's wing feathers, contour feathers, down feathers, bristle feathers etc. and it's so amazing to know! The barbs are pretty cool too!
Some gorgeous shots in this! Simply *stunning!* I knew how it all works, but when I am missing the little Canadian gosling that we rescued and delivered to a waterfowl rescue place a few years ago (has it really been over 5 years?!?), I hunt down things waterfowl-related to watch. Before anyone claims I didn't know what I was doing, that her mom was probably just off eating, let me explain a few things. I understand birds. I've raised chickens, ducks, quail, guinea fowl, turkeys, and geese successfully, for years. I get the whole "mom went to get some food, the chicks will be fine" thing. I do. I have seen it time and again. However, I've had to explain this SO often, so I'll get it over ahead of time... We had a tornado rip through the countryside between our home and my sister-in-law's home; passing really close her house & near/over a fee small lakes. Next morning, my sister-in-law discovered a lone little gosling (I estimate perhaps as young as 2 days), walking down the dirt road past SIL's home, crying as loud as she could for mama. No mama in sight, muddy and chilled, and as soon as she saw my sister-in-law, she sped up and ran straight at her. I assume an instinct told her that something larger than her would be needed so she could get help. This being March, SIL was amazed the gosling even survived overnight alone! She came right up to SIL, kept begging, and wouldn't leave her side. When SIL moved (she was doing chores), the gosling followed her. SIL moves again, gosling follows again. So, it was clear to SIL she was stuck with a bird she knew nothing about & was in over her head, so she got hold of me. I picked up the adorable little girl, set up an area for her with food & water, and started looking for the best waterfowl rehabber in the area. Got hold of a friend who used to rehab wildlife, herself (mammals), knew one personally, and enthusiastically suggested her. We named the gosling Dandelion Daffodil, as the dandelions seemed to be her favorite thing to chomp on from the yard, it was still blooming season for daffodils, and she still had the yellow tone in her fluff; it seemed to fit. 😄 That was the name she was taken in with, too! 😍 To make a long story slightly less long than it would've been, I only got not quite 5 full days with Dandelion, but it was long enough to fall in love with her! She grew up, migrated with the rest of the geese there, and came back to the rehab release point the following season! She was doing great the last time I checked in with them, too. 🦆❤ They only follow them for 5 years, so I won't know when her story ends, but they can live to 15 years old (older in captivity, but that's not a normal life), so I will just assume, from here on out, she will live a continued long, happy life! Good grief, sorry that was so long! It just brings back so many memories!
Such a complex design just on the feathers, and how was this natural selection. it’s like if someone actually thought out exactly how this should be, not just some casual thing that happened to be useful and made them survive
Thankfully this youtube channel was not influenced to make demoralizing content. Its just beautiful what nature has to offer. We could aquire so much knowledge from analyzing these cool creatures
I've noticed burds in my backyard etc during the hot months preen a lot less when they need to let the water in / bathe to keep cool (parrots/ parakeets/ magpies / skylarks etc). Both our native and Indian miner birds however preen extensively year round... or they have mites.
Awesome video, I really like how you folks are able to visualize the tiny details of the feathers, I'm still not sure how they zip their barbs together with that unstable movement though. But still, you guys are really underrated.
3:27 that's what I show to my friends & family members (Uncles, Aunts, & cousins) how the heck does water literally rolls off a duck. It's looks like 2 little paintbrushes fused together.
Sis i wish these videos would be longer. ive been seeing ducks since my childhood and certain tv shows in the 80s already explained this but not as detailed with those microscopic and highly detailed views. its like learning about ducks from the very beginning again as an adult. just alone the grooming shots of how crazy they can roll their head with the neck around their body needs some extra footage (and ofc explanations)
Yeah so true. Marvel should create a new superhero with an origin story where a duck chases a guy and bites him after which he turns into a superhero that can swim, fly and run fast, called The Duckman! 😂
When I was younger, we would do arts and crafts stuff and there would be artificial feathers. I would always try to make sure the feathers didn’t have any breaks in them. Funny how I was sort of preening the feathers (with out the grease of course)
If anyone is interested there is a book called "Feathers" by Thor Hanson and it goes more in-depth about the evolution of feather and the impact they had on society as a whole, all while keeping an interesting story going.
I once did a painting of a kappa and used an image of water rolling of duck feathers as a reference for the water rolling off of the shell as it emerges from the water :] i spent a long time looking for a reference when ducks came to my rescue
Thank you so much for making this channel it is so interesting and exactly what I needed. Also, I think this channel is very underrated so I'll share it with some friends. :D
Wow nice video I loved it. I always wondered why the feather zip out and then get back together now I see it's hooks and with that I also go to learn why birds always check out their feathers. 👍🏻 Wonderful video
this type of channel is what we really need for youtube
Agree
Agreed
I Agreed too
Yup they work really hard
No worries, its here!
It all started with ducks annihilating a bowl of peas
Same
Ha ha ha, I wonder how many people will get that reference!
Same
I wish I could give this comment a thousand likes. 😃
So you are on this journey too
The way the narrator said "and gorgeous" brought a smile to my face 🥰
Yessss same 😌
wow! I didn't know you could put feathers back together again. And never heard of the uropygial gland before, how cool!
Also the SEM work here is gorgeous.
this is really good content
Didn’t know about the gland myself

No one:
Ducks: "yo i heard you liked barbs so i put barbs on the barbs that are on my barbs."
*yo dawck
😂
It wasn’t just me great haha 😂😂

yeah same here, i never thought about why you can seal them again

That's an AH move. Separate feathers, poor birbs get cold and wet
@@johnwt7333 Stop, they zipped the feathers back after unzipping it
4:02 thanks Deep Look for giving me the cutest gif I could ever make
😍😍😂😂 Oh my... it's so cute. I'm tearing up
Please share the link
“Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?”
Another great video! The wax gland part blew my mind.
didn't even know about it, tho yeah, the ducks at the lake do look strangely shiny.

Narrator: this duck has incredible feathers and he knows it.
Duck: quack!
4:16
This little duck can keep itself totally comfy
...
*and GORGEOUS*
Ok the way how she says gorgeous is cracking me up!
“Wait for it... barbicels”
Don't forget Mermaid
4:19 now that duck just looks picture perfect. The beauty industry really does create unrealistic standards
So basically birds have thousands of zippers on their back? Good to know that

Water off a duck's back
even the voice over kinda sounds like Jinx's haha

Thanks for always giving us reasons to look at things differently. Love this channel.
Our pleasure!
This is easily one of the best Deep Look episodes I’ve watched since I became a fan in 2017
"What Actually Makes Water Roll Off a Duck's Back?"
Duck Tape?!
🤣🤣😂
Haha
The Narrator's voice and her style take these videos to the next level from great to incredible, just like the wax to feathers
Besides being informative all the shots provided are so beautiful and the narrator's voice is always lovely.
Ducks.
Such magnificent creatures.
Every week you see the swim.
And you cry.
For only ducks can truly perceive reality.
Glorious ducks.
This video looked STUNNING in 1080p!! Can't imagine what those gorgeous feathers would look like in 4K!!!
How good you are, DL? That's a fantastic work you've done on this one release, thank you! To the whole Team!
“Water off a ducks back!” Chant by jinx monsoon makes perfect sense now. ♥️

Just finished my Deep Look binge, appreciated every one of them! Learned abou the uropigeal gland but had never seen one!
Am I the only one who doesn't want these videos to end in 5 minutes?
Btw great video! Lots of respects to you, it must've been a ton of hardwork!
😲😍

I had a eureka moment when I found this brilliant channel . I love nature and now my love for nature has increased more..........
You guys actually make learning fun

I learn a lot from this channel than at school. Really deserves a lot of subs. But guess what? You got a new one :)
Welcome aboard!
Random fact:
Melting glaciers and icebergs make a distinctive fizzing noise known as "bergy seltzer".
why does bergy sound like a name?
Bahahaha bergy seltzer. Love it.
never thought id find ducks interesting. this channel is the best thing ever!
Thanks Vincent!
Birds are just some of the greatest things ever

Deep look, I’d like to know more about creatures that live in your face. Would love to see a video from you guys on this. Keep up the good work!!
Awesome video! I got some cayuga ducks and they preen all the time and drink water all the time.
Ive learnt so much ever since I subscribed to you
Wow I actually learned a few things and was corrected on a few more, brilliant... Thank you thumbs up...
Barbs= spikes
Barbs on Barbs on Barbs= fluffy
Ah Beautiful 😍!
This video is so amazingly satisfying!
Worth subscrbing to Deep Look 💗
Thanks Peace!
Ducks are really underrated. They can swim in the water being waterproof, can fly, and can walk on land with very fast steps.
Yeah so true. Marvel should create a new superhero with an origin story where a duck chases a guy and bites him after which he turns into a superhero that can swim, fly and run fast, called The Duckman! 😂
Imagine having to re-zip your jacket everytime you move! I respect these guys even more now.😉🦆🦆🦆
Duck: *goes into water*
Barbs: Looks like I'm goin for a swim
underrated comment
I just love the way of the narration as well as those video shot put all togther it's so calming and easily to understand.. 👌

Quarantine makes me bored. But Deep Look always make interesting videos. They make quarantine bearable.
All I can think of is Jinkx's montra "Water off a duck's back."
i love these videos. nice and short and to the point !!!
She protecc
She attacc
but most importantly, she explains how water rolls off a duck's bacc
Hehe.
thanks for this informative video, interesting, keep up the good work.
It's so informative and fascinating as always deep look, thanks for the high quality videos💕
Wow, a short butuh very detailed documentary, good works, thanks siapa much🥰
Glad you liked it!
"aAnd...gOr𝓰𝓮𝓸𝓾𝓼" was perfectly timed with the duck staring at the camera.
This is my favorite channel!!!!
