Hi everyone, I apologize for the oversight in this video. I forgot to mention that the Hooded Pitohui is native to New Guinea. They are commonly found in the forests and woodlands of both lowland and mountainous regions of this large island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.

Thank you! 🐦
I eat a lot of fast food. I’m probably poisonous by now.
Judging by how bad my diet can be, I'd say the same for myself lol
Lol 😆 🤣 😂
A poisonous bird...
"Lets hold it with out bare hands!"
Poisonous means you have to eat it for it to be bad
Fark the music is so annoying
I object!
That is not music.
Yeah, and the meaningless blurred background animation… ffff..
My grandma sent me a newspaper clipping about this, about 30 years ago - I've remembered the name ever since!
Turn down the 'backgound' music!!! So unnecessary and challenges the viewer to have to strain to hear the monologue through the NOISE. (I'm a musician - nothing inherently wrong with the music, but damn, it's TOO LOUD).
😂🤣😭
PLEASE ?
Agreed! I’m also a musician, and this isn’t even the worst channel.
Yeah had to stop watching it due to the loud music 🎉
Yes, very distracting, hard to follow with minor hearing issues.
At 1:53 in the video, and still no information where this bird lives...
New Guinea
Fun fact: every trait is evolved over time
Prove it
Even it's name sounds like you should spit it out. SPitohui!
Thank you! That was my thought too and, I was surprised that the pronunciation didn't reflect that. Perhaps the name was originally pronounced just like that and for exactly that reason.
So I'm guessing that Pitohuis raised in captivity ie. zoos, private collections; and probably missing this beetle are not poisonous?
Unless it’s now passed down through genetics.
@@injusticeberserker2800 There is no way that an environmental thing like that could become genetic. There is no inheritance of acquired characteristics.
It is hard to think of that there would be any kept in captivity. I wonder.......
Beautiful bird! 🖤🧡
They are!

How is the man holding it not reacting to the toxin?
It’s possible to handle a Hooded pitohui without protection, but it is risky due to their toxic feathers and skin. Some locals in New Guinea have traditional knowledge and techniques for safely handling these birds, possibly through learned tolerance or specific handling methods. However, it is generally advised to use protective gloves to avoid the potential harmful effects of their toxins, such as numbness or skin irritation. If someone is handling a pitohui without protection, they may be taking a significant risk or may have developed a level of tolerance to the toxins. Thank you for watching. 🦜
@@BirdsCollective If they derive their toxin through what they eat, couldn't one simply be heald in captivity to be harmless for those people to hold
He is a Class 5 mutant.
You don’t know what happened after the photo. 🤦♂️
How do you know that they don't know what happened after the photo?
So if one these birds is in captivity with a controlled diet, would the toxins dissipate?
And how is that the birds are being held with bare hands? No hazard?
The video doesn't really explain the effect the bird's toxin has on humans who merely handle it with their bare hands.
I remember the newspaper article 20 or 30 years ago where the scientist made this discovery because the bird scratched him and he licked his wound.
and then he died before the news could be shared. Only today, looking back, at that last diary entry did we today make the association that scientist was in the same area where this beautiful bird resides.
Who licked who's wound?
It was proved that he lied about the wound lick because he was embarrassed by what he had really done. He actually attempted to force physical romance on the bird so it scratched his Johnson.
After it scratched he ate it.

and its good looking too!
Fascinating.
Thank you for the upload 😊👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Agree with @jonsterngold4942 below. Soft background music can be an embellishment to a video, but this is at times so loud that it drowns out the narrator. This is increasingly common with TH-cam videos of all kinds, and it detracts from the videos to the point that I stop watching them. Completely unnecessary.
1:02 "among the many poisonous birds..."
Are you saying the title is incorrect, and that there other poisonous bird species?
The title says “The Most Poisonous Bird” so that would mean there are others less poisonous perhaps?
@@oscardog6719 The title in the thumbnail still reads, "First Documented Poisonous Bird". Glad the listed video title is at least updated.
@@AnoraJohnsonYah, other vids popped up about other poisonous birds.
I married a posinous bird.😊
Very interesting. Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it
Why do you TH-camrs when giving information about a subject keep including music. We want the information not the music. I had to stop the video and will move on thankyou. So annoying.
This kind of 'scientific' information needs music to get us to swallow it...
"user"- MEANS BOTS
Turn on the subtitle/CC if you got bothered by the loud music too guys 😅
No wonder the psycho gamer in SAO Alternative: Gun Gale Online goes by “Pitohui”.
There is a bird in the mythical Ancient Chinese Beastary, of a poisonous bird. Its diet was venomous snakes, and the bird was so poisonous that its feathers contained poison.
That's fascinating! Thanks for sharing that interesting tidbit!
Interesting. However the music is too loud. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry about that
Great. All we need is alot of these & a real Stephen king "Birds" reenactment.
Something tells me carnivorous hunting birds(falcons, hawks,eagles, etc...) have poison in their talons but people haven't figured it out🫤
This is fascinating! Thanks for posting.
It will be really interesting to see what further research shows. I suspect this is going remain murky for a couple more decades. It looks even more complex than the beak sizes of Galapagos finches. After some 40-50 years of painstaking and dedicated research the puzzle of beak size is getting solved.
I winced a bit at the mention of “evolved” in relationship to this particular adaptation. “It is not an ancestral trait, it evolved over time.”. (Sure enough, I saw that it triggered a churlish comment.) In the biological sense of the word evolution, it seems rather an oxymoron -imo- to link “not ancestral” and “evolved” without including qualifiers. Would you mind clarifying?
Wow! Thank you!
You're welcome!
"How evolution can lead to unique survival strategies." Really? A strategy is something chosen. Evolution is random where 1/2 the changes are harmless and the other deadly. So within those two ends choosing a strategy is not an evolutionary mechanism. Randomness alone in evolution forbids that.
I suspect the word " chosen" is used a bit differently here. Not as in the bird choosing to gain a trait, but rather birds that had a tiny bit of it at the beginning, survived easier than birds who did not have any of it.. over time leading to birds with this trait being the ones to mate, and the others dying out..In that way it is not wrong to say it was chosen for, but noone intelligent made a choice.. randomness caised the initial tiny trait , and it was just a beneficial thing for the birds survival, so it stuck.
I can agree that using the world in this context may cause the wrong idea .
I heard about poisonous birds 40 years ago.
I hope they can turn up the music. It makes sense to make it so loud you cannot hear anyone talking.
Love that color orange and black.
"Not an ancestral trait, instead it evolved over time" - someone doesn't know what evolution is.
Eat enough random bugs and you'll be poisonous too
Similar to ptooey sound when you spit.
How did this birds toxicity evolve over time? What do the studies say about where and when it actuality started and the stages of progression to the level we see today?
It looks intelligent.
What about the deadly feces of the phoo birds?
"Evolved" as in it depends on what the bird eats and around.
huh, I learned about the Foo bird when I was a kid but his is new to me.
Where is this foo or phoo made? North Korea?
Eating seeds as a pastime activity
The toxicity of our city, of our city
New, what do you own the world?
How do you own disorder, disorder
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence, sacred silence and sleep
Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep
Disorder, disorder, disorder
No info where it lives, how exactly it is poisonous. Does it have predators? How they cope with the bird's poison?
Wish all English speakers spoke that clear.
Wish all of the speakers of the various Spanish and Portuguese dialects spoke without an accent 🤦♂️
So, why are you showing various photographs of people holding the "most poisonous bird", bare-handed?? How toxic could they be? Methinks you kinda disproved your own claims.
Poisonous means you'll be poisoned if you eat it. Holding it seems to be fine.
… its name almost phonetically matches, “p-TEWWY!”
Check out this video!

Thank you. This is very interesting.
and were exactly does it live ??? just a minor fact that for some reason u left out
I thought pigeons were poisonous or at least disgusting enough to be poisonous 😏
their crap is
So I guess you shouldn't eat that bird.
You shouldn't eat any animals.
@@bingosunnoon9341 The structure of the human digestive tract indicates that humans are meat eaters but also have a limited ability to consume vegetation.
@@bingosunnoon9341 Oops!! (They're all really delicious. Especially the small, helpless ones. You should try some!!)
So you can’t even touch the bird without getting side effects?
Why is this guy holding underneath this bird with a toxic underbelly…..
The background noise is driving use away !!
How about listing it's area of living and/or migration spots?
No, then the kids will all go there and graffiti it.
They are found in New Guinea I had to find it in the comments. 🙄

Did he ever say what they eat
Poisonous but tasty.
Monster Hunter
Australia?
too repetitive of the sparse information
Taste like Chicken! ☠☠☠
Background music is unbearable
So why is that guy holding one without gloves or a mask? And why don't you say whereit's from or other useful info?🤬
Background music is over powering.
It ruined the video's narration.
My peckered white big papa sweet real white meat makes women tremble ferociously until dawn. The bodingus should be classified more deadly than bird specimen. Thanks for sharing.
Hard to hear with that too loud, aggravating piano smashing in the middle. WTF was that? At least turn it down.
Too much AI
So it's the most poisonous bird....out of a list of 1 poisonous bird. Lol.
Your title needs work.
Jesus Christ is the only way to everlasting life. He loves you, and He is with you no matter what. He will never abandon nor forsake you. Believe in Him and you will be saved.
whosaywhata-pitohui???❔❔❔🤷♂️
OMYGOD.... LOOKS HIDEOUS.... A REAL WARNING TO HUMANKIND... LOOK! GOD HELP US.... I PRAY.
Couldn't you just leave aside the evolutionary blablabla ?
It is a theory, far from being reasonable.
It would have been far more entertaining without that.
Apparently, you don't have much experience with theory. It is accepted fact. Hypothesis is not the same as theory.
@@bingosunnoon9341
It's actually an instrument for brainwashing.
So called scientists want people to believe, that there is no God, no afterlife and the only purpose of existence is to conquer and enjoy.
It is symptomatic for exploitation.
Exploitation of nature, of animals, of women and of human energy.
It's dangerous and has to be stopped.
You are far from being reasonable.
@@Mouse_Metal
Was to make a strong point.
Of course I should respect the valuable work scientists have contributed to the world.🙏
But pure materialistic science can not be of great value, because it lacks the essentials.
For example, in contrary to the scientific theory, that life came from matter... you can perceive that it is just the other way.
Matter comes from Life.
Our bodies are creating so much substances, solids ( hair, nails, poop), liquids( semen, blood, saliva,),
and gases too.
Plants provide us with wood, sap , fruit, flowers, incense, leaves, fiber ...
So life produces matter.
Isn't it?
Obviously, you have a problem with facts. But being a nobody on TH-cam, you are free to wallow in ignorance.
Get to the bloody point!
