I have to get up in 4 hours but watching a 25 minute video about the world's coolest birds feels like the right thing to do
How did it go ? Waking up in 4 hours …
@@la3615 he did not wake up 🙏
Good choice
I am a cook and an artist at night this is common for me. At least I can make art and watch videos at the same time.
Haha sounds like me every night
When you hold a chicken and move it back and forth, the head stays in one place untill the neck gets too stretched out and then they move the neck suddenly. (Source: hands on chicken experience)
Chickens make amazing camera gimbals.
Chicken in hands experience. :-)
the TH-cam Channel Smarter every day pretty much got his start explaining the chicken head stabilization thing. lol.
dear hank, we love scishow and we noticed an error in this episode.
Cher Ami was a female carrier pigeon who saved American soldiers from friendly artillery fire.
Thank you all for all the great science videos!

Fun fact: Wind turbine manufacturers add on the blades a noise reduction technology that was inspired by Owls wings. It's called Serrated Trailing Edges.
I wonder how many birds die by collisions with wind turbines 😢
@@LivingMyBestLifeIAm there’s data on that. According to the Sierra Club, it’s ~ a million of birds a year in the US. But actually 6x that die from hitting communication towers and 25x that die from hitting power lines. Wind turbines are usually places away from bird migration routes, while power lines kind of go anywhere people are. But by far the biggest cause of bird fatality in the US is free range domestic cats, who kill several billion yearly. So if you’re worried about the birds, keep your cat inside or give them a collar designed to scare away birds and help out your local cat shelter.
@@Animallovercomedian people laugh at me for leash training my cats, but I live in Hawaii. I can’t understand how people think it’s a responsible thing to do, to have outdoor cats. That said, my cats wanna go out. So… hence the leash.
@@uk3obeysseme for the record, I think you’re very cool and responsible for leash training your cats
"Rockin. Rockin and Rollin. Down to beach I'm strollin. The seagulls poke at my head. I said seagulls mh. Stop it now" 😱😱it all makes sense now. Omg
LEAVE YODA ALONE!!
Is Yoda secretly a seal?
Hmmm ha, hmm hmmm hmm ha, hmmm-hmm ha, hmm hmmm hmm hmm-ha!
Hmmm ha, hmm hmmm hmm-hmmm hmm-hmmm ha!
Its... all true! We thought it was just songs but it's all real... And I am NOT looking forward to finding the chicken duck woman thing waiting for us!!
Actually,, on reflection, given recent events in my personal life, i think I already met mine.

"here's a very young hank" yo we just stepped into a time machine
@SigmaTauri2 I thought that too! it was neat
Lucky him he knows nothing about Corona virus
Yeah and he's still in his 30's 😂
nope. were watching a youtube video
@@averyhaferman3474 it was a joke
100% should of been hosted by Hank as much as I love Michael. "Birds with hank" and hank says "here's hank to tell you more".
Should've had muscle hank to be exact.
@@TheMightyBattleSquid no
*should have
@@bruhmoment5974 alright _Rudolph_ _Hess_
The lyrebird is pretty cool. It can reproduce almost any sound it hears.
Yeah it's pretty cool until you're camping in the Bush and you start hearing things like children playing, and cars driving up and people talking and random other human noises and then you look outside and there's nothing there.
I've had a love affair with birds since I was 10 years old.
Currently have an eclectus parrot named Shrek, and a caique parrot named Patches.
Those seal eating gulls are terrifying.
Gulls are menaces
The Birds real
Of COURSE Australia has birds which spread fire. Probably because they missed the Toxic Train and don't have poison glands in their talons or something.
Don't give them ideas, there's already birds with poison on their feathers
@@lizardzilla LOL
They do that in California too.
that makes sense now why australia is on fire
My bird spreads seeds all over my f*cking floor
*tries to turn head around as far as it can go*
Hank: "you'll snap your neck"
me: ..
The gull thing... Since everything is locked down with the pandemic the gulls in my area have been getting more aggressive with the crows over what scraps they can find, and I even saw one harassing someone who was carrying takeout home.......
Haha we're in danger
[I started throwing some food scraps like bread crusts out my window at night to try and placate them... So far it seems to be working. Even saw the baby crows comfortably exploring the park across the street...]
That's lowkey really kind dear.
Gulls are the devil
Grab a shotgun sort it out
@@brianjensen5661 Just like God intended
@@brianjensen5661 "kill them and let their god sort it out!"
I intentionally feed the crows only, because they get wise, and sit closer and more patiently. Also, goth af.
“Gotta fly like an eagle, not like a turkey. Don’t let the turkeys get you down.”
@ForestofTooMuchFood I'm pretty sure countries can't fly.
Wild ones sure can.
this video should have a subtitle "also the evolution of Hank"
My grandma had friend named Bertie. When she came home from work her parakeet would say,"Let's go bowling, Bertie!".
Aw, cute! I had a pet budgie Limon who liked to talk a lot, and the budgie I have right now, Forrest, is also pretty chatty (he also taught himself how to say "I want to speak to the manager," which. Is weird considering nobody in our house has said that but him lol)
My grandma took me over to Bertie’s house when I was a little and I actually heard this bird say it
My uncle had african grey parrot that would swear a lot. You'd think that'd get old after a while. It doesn't.
@@brianjensen5661 “give me some f****** walnuts” *screeching intensifies*
“Common parakeet, or budgie”
(Proceeds to show an Indian Ringneck, a bird twice the size of a budgie)
Also, parakeets and budgies are different birds.
@@davidsavige actually in the US we don't use the word Budgie we call them Parakeets. All other keets have a defining word like Ringneck, Mustache, Bourke's, etc. as a prefix to Parakeet
@@timothygreer188 Right on. Our (American) only native psittacine, the Carolina parakeet, was a conure. "Parakeet" has no real scientific meaning; it's just a small(ish) parrot. Parrot itself is from French Pierrot, a diminutive of Peter; Peter also yields "petrel". Peter, of course, means "rock", but the rock dove and the parrot are not related. (They're good friends, though, and have been spotted together at nightclubs.)
@@timothygreer188 thank you for that, I didn't know how to word it
Nothing about cockatoos whilst talking about parrots,and how if you have one as a pet they own you and torture you and your soul while laughing at you all the time
I know everything's got to make a living, but Gulls are just monsters.
@@paulgreen2401 yo lots of people cant live without meat. For example I can't eat large amounts of soy bc it could aggravate my hyperthyroidism. In addition soy is one of the most common allergies, and many other disabled and chronically ill people would become severely malnourished if we went solely plant based. I agree that animal welfare does need to improve, as long as there are disabled and chronically ill people, we will need animal ag.
Also "vegan" textiles are plastic. A fur is not only warm, if taken care of properly, will outlast the owner.
Im not gonna fight evolution. We undoubtedly treat animals and nature terribly but im never gonna stop eating meat. Im gonna change how and where I get it. We were made to eat a balanced diet of whatever we came across is the wild, provided it doesnt make us sick. Thats why humans can eat such a wide range of things. Animals cant touch the majority of what we eat, like garlic, onions, grapes and many more. And animals that evolved to eat only veggies/fruits dont have sharp teeth and powerfup digestive systems like wo do.
Do what you want but dont preach veganism like it makes you a good person because it doesnt. Objectively it makes you a denier who takes the shortcut to a problem because its honestly easier to call people bad then try to change the way they think about serious issues like overpopulation.
@@paulgreen2401 not everyone *can* go vegan. should disabled people just die so you can feel good about yourself?
@@paulgreen2401 thats cool and all but you know that how nature works only thing i can say is our excess due to greed being the problem. because if we don't kill it something else probably will and I'm sure Bears don't have Smug Vegans Bears looking down on them just because he had his fill grieving Salmon fishes where they lay eggs. So unless you dont drive, or use any technology you're no better than the next man. Boy self-hate is real...
@@paulgreen2401 also Diet is not going to save the planet its how we allocate and use resources. Naturally we are omnivores meaning we need meat for a reason that reason being is people tend to have allergies to soy which in most forms vegans eat is processed thanks to technology because lets face it pound for pound it gives us more protein than leafs and fruits ever can. hence why if vegans are not careful with there diet they can get headaches and mood swings hell that's probably why half y'all be so smug and stuff, not enough nutrients for the brain and its having an effect on the thought process.
Wait, doves and pidgeons are considered different?
In my language they dont even have seperate names.
Same here.
By whom? Even Gertrude Stein knew that they were the same. ("Pigeons on the grass, alas", from Four Saints in Three Acts, music by Virgil Thomson.) On the other hand... SciShow, Ouch! Oy vay! Bozhe moi! At 22:52 Tanya Dropbear really dropped the ball!!! THAT'S NOT A BUDGIE! It's a ringneck! (Blue mutation--captive bred.) You're gonna get hate mail from Australia--or maybe would if the Aussies weren't such nice people! Don't you have budgies in Montana?
Same here.
Its considered different , maybe because here in singapore pigeons are everywhere and doves ? Only seen once or twice .
@@rqzzlldqzzls
Nah ...
Dove in Singapore is not rare. Just go to the nearest 7eleven, convenient store, etc. They oftenly arranged on a soap and shampoo rack.
I like how much focus you guys put on not really knowing why things are the way they are. The unknown can seem a lot smaller than it really is with all the information available on the internet, and you do a great job reminding viewers how much there still is to explore!
Locally, we've got the amazing mockingbird. One year, we had one camping out on our chimney that started it's amazing repertoire about midnight and I didn't catch it repeating itself before I gave up listening about dawn and fell asleep. it mimicked about everything that made noise in the neighborhood; cats, dogs, name it. Had a few sweet songs in there as well.
How do you kill it
WHY would I want to do THAT? He/she was just doing what came naturally. And it's one form of lullaby.
@@jerelull2619 How do you kill a mockingbird
Same way you kill any bird, I suspect. Easier would have been to rig something up to chase the thing away, I'm pretty sure. Have some experience doing that around our tiny little boat in the marina. Birds like boats, particularly cormorants who love to perch on the spreaders and eat (& poop) very messily. Starlings are nearly as bad as they hang off the shrouds.
@@jerelull2619 So that's how To kill a mockingbird?
Damn I really like birds. They're so neat and complex and interesting.
Gulls will outlive humans for sure. They are flexible, intelligent and merciless just like us.
and are not anchored to their phones all day
@@GloomGaiGar Yet.

and they can fly
11:55 Australia and their unique animal biome
Okay wait no stop. We need an episode on pigeon milk please. I can't even process that right now.
I would like to hear more about hummingbird vocalizations mimicry, that was new to me.
2:54 I was taught in an ornithology class that pigeons bob their heads in order to simulate 3D vision. Humans have two front-facing eyes that can create 3D based on the differences in what the eyes see, but pigeons can't do that. So, they bob to create that difference. Or so that was what I was told.
Yeah I've heard this argument as well with lizards. There are some species (bearded dragons being one that I can independently verify, I used to work in an exotic pet store) that bob their heads quite often, usually while they are basking, which would rule out them doing it to stabilized their eyesight since they weren't moving in the first place. I supposed it could be both with pigeons though.
or both...
@@orionthewildhunt9173 Yes, it's both. The bobbing while walking is to stabilize their vision, you can see similar behavior in chickens. When they're standing still they'll sometimes move their heads around to gain better depth perception; Owls do this as well! You probably do it unconsciously when you're looking at something and can't quite gauge how far away it is, if you move your head around slightly the parallax relative to nearby objects helps you determine its distance.
@@Peregrineeagle beardies also bob at random things when they think its another beardie. They are territorial and very, very... daft
SciShow compilations = anthologized evidence of SciShow awesomeness across the eons 💖

Coolest bird: penguin in a freezer.
A gull literally once stole a subway sandwich from my friend while he was back inside the store to get a straw. When he came back he wouldn't believe us what happened, best day ever
Once, a seagull flew in front of me while I was eating a sandwich and just hovered there. It looked me in the eye, looked at my sandwich, and then back at me. I just got so mad I screamed at it. It flew off. My wife thought it was hilarious.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Out of all creatures, seagulls are probably one of the weirdest
Boy, you guys must have tucked that one away in record time. Quick thinking on the explanation, though. And he bought it?
Somehow I have the feeling that Hank likes birds. Wonder how I got that impression?
Hank can't stop me from turning my head like an owl!
Who?
@@fajaradi1223 what are you some kind of wise guy? I'm talking about Hank! The guy that says I can't twist my neck like an owl!! :)
who??
_sickening crack sound_
Anyone else find it funny how Hank seemed annoyed whenever bats came up in that oilbirds clip?
I wish I smelled like tangerines all the time.
Pidgeons: taste good
Oilbird: used to cook things that taste good
Owls: used to collect things that taste good
Geese: also taste good
Firehawk: help owls find things that taste good
Kelp Gulls: Oookay, moving on...
Crested Auklet: smell like things that taste good
Parrot: able to cordinate the assault on things that taste good.
Together they are the ultimate thanksgiving feast gatherers! 🦃🦃🦃
Firehawks, also known as phoenixes, cook food
As an Aussie, I'm voting the Fire Hawks as the most awesome bird you covered in this compilation, I didn't know that was a thing, I thought Fire Devils (Fire Whirls) was plenty enough.
And as for my least favorite... Murder Gulls, Beach walks will never be same, Now when I'm being cowardly swooped within a 10 meter radius by an aggressive flock of gulls, Stalking me from behind I'll know they not protecting their patch of beach, They are trying to figure out how to eat me...
I am a bit suspicious of it though, especially since its a series of sightings of something thats a local legend. Nearly everyone has a camera in their pocket but its still never been caught on video and there are tons of local legends similar to this (such as cryptids) that have plenty of sightings but no hard evidence.
The town I live in was full of cats last year, but they have all disappeared. Turns out an eagle owl decided to make the town its hunting ground this summer and has eaten all of them. I have heard of this happening in other towns here in Spain.
FFS!! I decided to listen to something happier instead of the murder mysteries I usually listen to before going to sleep. Murdergulls. Eyeballs. THANKS, HANK..... 🙄
Ha me too ☻
😂 😂 😂 😂 👏👏👏👏
Can we just appreciate how great sci show is 😭❤
Owls are my favorite bird! And this is the first video in a long time where I’ve actually learned something new about them. Much enjoyed!
4:30 Pigeons also used to be a Royal Delicacy.
Hank is literally so adorable
A big ass seagull flew into me and stole my whole pocket of churros :( i had taken 1 bite!
Kill it before it tries to steal your eyes!
"FIRE HAWK" that one guy from borderlands 2
Dinosaurs have come a long way.
I think this video should get an award for the best scishow thumbnail
Michael's small dig at Hank at 7:26... priceless.
Wow Hank is nearly perfect doppelganger of a really talented artist
Gulls also prey on the chicks of other birds. And newly hatched sea turtles.
in the UK gulls have been known to carry off small dogs...yorkshire terriers and such
As if I didn’t need any more convincing that gulls are the biggest bullies of the the bird world.
I once read a Tumblr post or something saying that the only emotion gulls have is hubris. I'm now inclined to belive that they have two emotions: hubris and sadism.
The fire hawks were pretty cool. That's birds using tools! How awesome,
Just wait until you learn about new caledonian crows!
I was confused at the constant throwing it to Hank and realized that this is some compilation video 😨
Ur new to scishow? 🤔 If yes then Welcome 🤗
Duuuh
Never seen Alferd Hitchcock's 60's horror flic, "The Birds"? Famous scene where seagulls leave a woman with nothing but blood left n her eye-sockets.
Watch 17:04
You guys forgot about the coolest bird of all! The bearded vulture! They have bright red eyes and take bones and drop them from super high up and eat the bone marrow out of them.
Actually they eat mostly just the bone itself, which sounds even more badass
@@lizardzilla that and they are aiming for a rock below to drip them.
And they have freaking beards! Its right there in the name... Even more bad-ass.
Crow s and raven will position nuts in roads at stop lights so cars Wil crack the nuts. Then go out at red light to get cracked nuts
Whoa, that is so cool
You sir, are an absolute Marvel of humanity. Redemption incarnate. The epitome of excellence. Love your work. You are a consummate apex professional.
Hank wears a Powell's Books shirt while talking about a densely populated cave. It's 5 floors and made of wood, but still Powell's is a densely populated cave.
How often does a SciShow host say "Every continent except Antarctica?"
scratch n' sniff husbands, those were the days...
I’m just glad cows can’t fly. I’d need to carry a large umbrella.
My favourite will always be the Australian magpie
A seagull hit my shoulder,pooped on me and stole a piece of pizza from my hand AND LEFT THE WRAPPER all in one swoop! A girl nearby Screamed. I was furious.
I love Baby Hank telling me about birds
Imma surrender all my chips to those gulls now I don't care what other people says I want those baby seals to live. No, don't even try to convince me.
Just hit the gull with a hammer
Pigeons produce milk...now I'm worried what's in Dove cosmetics 😂🤣🤣😂
Did I detect malice in his voice when he talked about a "plant eating goose"?
Big bird could talk, had a T. V. Show where he had friends who was a monster and ate cookies, friends that could count, and a friend that lived in a trash can...He was like 6ft tall... I'm pissed big bird wasn't here
Clicked this video as soon as I possibly could. There’s nothing better than birds and scishow!
"The only birds known to do that, besides humans."........😶......I.....umm......didn't know I was a bird......
I bred and sold white doves for awhile, and one of the final steps in a female deciding to bond with a certain male is by her tasting his milk. He might be strong and sexy as hell (to a female white dove), but if his milk isn't good enough to help feed the babies, she'll reject him. They take exactly 12 hour shifts in sitting on the eggs, and they're both so devoted that when it's time to switch, the parent that's been sitting kind of has to be shoved out of the nest by the parent who's turn it is to sit. There are times when neither one wants a break from sitting on the eggs, and they'll both sit on the nest together. They're very sweet, loving, intelligent birds.
Hank is THE rock star of the internet science circuit! He (and the rest of you) should be taking the SciShow on a world tour! :-D
The lyre bird is pretty cool too imo
Birds are amazing creatures!
The Greens made learning so much fun... Thanks for the excellent compilations!
Is it just me or do you picture Hank at 4:50 walking into a school saying, "how do you do, fellow kids?"
I am a middle-aged farmer near the finger lakes of upstate NY. As a kid, I liked to watch red-tailed hawks swoop down and catch mice from the field as we were removing hay. So a field with knee high or waist high legumes and grasses would be cut to 6 or 7 centimeters. Hawks learned to exploit those fields currently getting worked for the easy sighting and hunting.
Four decades later hawks have largely been replaced by crows and gulls eating mice from those fields.
I give pigeons exactly as much credit as they deserve, being probably my second or third favorite animal.
I hate that people treat them like common pests, especially since we literally brought them to the US as companions in the first place.. and as food, but mostly companions. We also drove the native species to extinction.
I made friends with a flock living in my porch roof, and they're such wonderful little birds.
When I was a fisherman, I saw seagulls try and eat smaller birds. One fisherman saw one eat a chickadee!
Imagine being a war hero and then dying and your family and friends stuffing you and putting you inside of a museum for future civilizations to see
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Norwegian Blue in the parrots story, whose famous mimicry trick is thanatosis.
Hey, y'all are usually excellent about captioning your videos but this one only has autocaptions, which are definitely not fully accurate and lack the formatting that make captions easy to read.
(Seriously, "goal" and "girl" were used in place of "gull", a *lot*....it was very confusing)
The owl on the thumbnail looks like a giant fluffy marshmallow 🥹
Hank, I love all your cool shirts you wear. Also amazing how clean cut you can keep your shaving. You are a Rockstar
Yay! Olivia! She’s awesome ❤. Glad to see her. Even if it’s just a compilation that provides a blast from the past.
It's funny because as many pidgeons as there are, I've never seen a baby pidgeon. I guess I'll just have to Google it to see what they look like.
"oh look, here's Hank again with the details!"...oh wow, somebody sounds jealous 🤣
SciShow, I am so very grateful for your mission and time you spend perfecting it. Keep up the great work please! Thank you/NanooNanoo.
I love that you don’t insult us by assuming we are all from the USA.
Thankyou.
Jon Paior
And so you insult the people who ARE from the USA? Why is that acceptable?
Wanna get back at seagulls just a bit? Buy some hot chips/fries. Drive to the beach. Throw a chip or 2 out of your window and up high so the gulls will see it. When the gulls arrive place a chip on your dash as close to the windscreen as possible without risking it falling down a vent etc. Now turn on your windscreen wipers and enjoy the show.
3:09 didn't know Hank was so o-"pigeon"-nated XD ki!
'... regurgitated fruit and their own feces. Sounds cosy, yeah!' You make me laugh, Hank. You cool man.
I'm a delivery driver and a solid 50% of my deliveries are to apartment complexes, many of which have carport style parking spots for tenants. Every time I go to those I can't help but think "why are there not solar panels on those?"
This video makes the point that building the canopies would be costly at first. These are already built. Seems like a pretty high incentive for a smart apt complex owner to install the solar panels and offer FREE electricity (or at least drastically reduced).
So the fact that Brewster offers you pigeon milk in your coffee confirms that he is a working father.
That was actually kind of great, quite informative. Thank you very much!
In French speaking cultures, the owl is associated with all that is excellent and outstanding. A colloquial adjective in French for anything that is extra good is also the word for owl itself, "chouette." An owl is "une chouette" but anything that is excellent or awesome is described as "chouette" as in "Hey, I just found a new job!" "Really? Chouette!"
Owls seem like badass killers and hunters until you live near them. Yes, they can track a mouse from absolutely YONKS away, but somehow they will find new and creative ways to run face-first into trees, barns, parked cars, people, and pretty much everything else around. They're delightfully derpy birds.
Ok cool and all but are we gonna ignore that this bird is actually called the fire hawk?? Like that's the coolest name ever
We all know the coolest bird is the goose. And you know which goose I’m talking about.
Pet Goose George.
Peace was never an option.
Hank Green's unwillingness to finish reading the serial seal slasher seagull script 👏😂🤢👏
My favorite bird solely for the facts is the murder birds! Why because when they attack Wright whales that are new born they havent, the baby whales learned to defend themselves by flipping them off!
It creates a very funny visual of adult whales giving the bird to birds in self defence!
I kinda want an owl neck.
Ok. Really want an owl neck.
Transhumanists get on that!
Don donny Don't worry mate, you'll be able to get that owl neck when you become a monster girl.
