- Two researchers in Fergusson Island, Papua New Guinea, shared their enthusiastic reaction when they realised they had the first-ever photos of the black-naped pheasant-pigeon, a bird that hasn’t been documented in the past 140 years.
Footage recorded on September 29 by Jordan Boersma shows his colleague Doka Nason’s reaction to photos taken on their trailcam the day before. After a few moments of stunned disbelief, the two are heard and seen celebrating their find.
“This is the happiest moment ever,” Nason is heard saying. “My legs are shivering.”
Boersma told Storyful that he searched with Nason and a team of scientists and conservationists for a month for this critically endangered and potentially extinct species. The team were rewarded by the sighting on their very last day of their search.
“This species had not been documented since 1882 and had never been photographed,” Boersma told Storyful. “Seeing photos of this elusive, almost mythical, bird walking past our camera was the most surreal and fulfilling experience we could have ever imagined.”
Jason Gregg of the American Bird Conservancy captured video of the bird, including its charming tail movement.

The joy on the mans face is priceless
Peeping Tom
It's the sweetest moment any scientist could ever feel, but this video is extra special and I was chuckling right up until I realized I had tears. Brother Doka!!
This is wonderful and so thrilling to watch the man's actions, having phenomenal news on sighting of bird that was suppose to be extinct. Sent goosebumps all over me!!
Moments like this make an entire life worth living.
The bird is a Black-Naped Pheasant-Pigeon, you can easily Google the picture they took.
thanks for completing
I'm just curious if this bird hasn't been seen in 140 years and this is the first picture since then. How are there so many pictures on Google of them in the wild? Are they A. I. Pictures
@@josephspagnola9884 I like that (critical thinking), but, if you seen something that hasn't been seen in 140yrs, you'd probably take more than one picture. I'm sure, 140yrs ago, multiple pictures were taken. But, it is 2024 maybe it's AI🤷🏿♂️
@@josephspagnola9884most of them have white or green nape the whole body is the same the only difference is the black nape
@@josephspagnola9884many of the images are of similar species in the same family but not this specific type of bird
They’re photos linked in articles about the bird in the video, look at its coloration
once in a lifetime. Now everything has to be done to protect this species.
500 million years... do humans have an other planet or similar life support system for living lifeforms before Earth is not a planet because Sun is getting hotter every day for 5-8 billion years and when radiation of light energy reached the breaking point of atmospheric system to destroy all living humans it will be end for humans...
@@memoredspectrum Well don't worry too hard about that, you'll be long gone before that happens.
His excitement was so wholesale
And soon Costco will be able to spread that excitement 🤣

That's a very old bird.

😂😂😂😂
Bird's like ah crap these guys again.
Beautiful moment. Wonderful thank you
Show us the photo, c'mon man!
LOTS of other outlets have shown the picture, from the video, of the bird.
This video and the mans reaction are priceless. What a fantastic moment for the team to finally capture images of this bird. I'm so glad the bird fought back from the edge of extinction, and I hope its future is secure.
What a fine bird - look at it's feathers 🤣
Papua New Guinea is a birds paradise. Lots of endemic birds there.
@@nikowagnerc Colombia is beautiful I’ve been there twice now but I’ve never seen more beautiful landscapes than in Papua New Guinea from the beaches to the island to rainforest in the highlands it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world
See, why can't we all be as happy as the 3 in this video?
I love it! Good work guys. Be safe out there!
SHOW THE FAKKING PICTURE. THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME😂

Whatever you do, don't show the photo. Genius
Where has it been ? On vacation ?
So much better than all the war coverage!!!!
This video made my day ((:
They failed to mention what kind of bird 🤨
This is how real timetravelles look like
No video but I still got goose bumps
We don’t even get to see the bird?
I tried imagining myself in their place, that's just wholesome !
really nice birdie..thanks
Hard wark, that smile ❤️🙂
congratulations, what a find!
Wheres the bird...🤦🤦🤔
🐦
black-naped pheasant-pigeon was hiding for a reason so poacher won't find them now there in danger they have to hide more harder from poachers because of these scientists that rediscovered that rare bird that haven't been seen over 140 years leave them birds alone let them live there life
Just to let everyone know. Pigeons are still pretty much alive and I think they aren't gonna extinguish soon
So no picture of the bird
But don't show pic of the birds
I reacted the same way when I won the Powerball lottery.
And then I woke up.
Now only if we can find an Ivory billed woodpecker!
Can we see the bird,,???
No!
Now if we can only find the elusive Bearded Clam.
His reaction is genuine! 🥲
It must be an invisible bird cuz I didn't see a picture of it. WHAT'S UP?
maybe all of us will have same reaction when some researchers able to detect back dodo
Wow never thought that birds can live 140 years
Guys thinking- Finally I can taste some Black-Naped Pidgeon meat.
Yes, great moment for them and the guys excitement is infectious but why not end with showing us the photo? Yes I can Google it but that’s not quite the same!
Congrats to them and their joy
Pure passion
Sad, you don't show the photo.
Where is bird ?
Very good but you did not show the photo lol
Like yeah nice bird. 😝
You are obviously not a scientist
There about to be rich selling that picture😂
He went full mosquitto for a sec there
Please lock them up for not showing the bird
Bro you could see the picture in the channel Auwo
Maybe I will show it to you in 140 years
A win for conservation
Se lo mando Dios para volver a ser rescatado al verdadero hombre que necesitaba encontrarlo y cuidarlo
I would have liked a photo of such said bird
So, why not show the bird?
Saw one of them last week in Northern England!

Wrong bird
We don't get to see what he's excited about?
Where’s the picture. ?
Where's the picture?
Keep it quiet or someone will kill it or steal it?
Great news......so if last seen 140 years ago.....then there must be a few otherwise they wouldn't exist now.
The Chinese have a new, rare menu item...

Oh dear. I just did Google it and what is one is the things I discovered? That the area this bird has been discovered in is due to be logged soon. That about sums up the state of the world☹️
They should get a DNA sample just in case.
