I love Capercallies! Amazing birds, not scared at all of humans. Proud to share a country with them. They look incredible too, like a chicken wanted to be a peacock.
Best description ever.
I’d kill their ass
@@SFbayArea94121 You are such a little insecure beta
arent they called grouses?
True
I really admire Attenborough. A good sense of humor and willing to get into a little scrape just to show us the wonders of the natural world.
They sound sort of like metal bottle caps (like Snapple caps) that you can click in and out
David Attenborough is a not-so-serious rival.
D.A. knows HE'S the champ.
I bet he still would have taken the prize had he won
They sound like those little wooden frogs you run sticks down the backs of.
I miss doing that
I SWEAR, every time I see a video of these birds they are always trying to start beef with someone 🤣🤣🤣
I never met an animal that spoke woodblock.
you don't want too
Haha, same thing happened to me when i was hiking in a forest south of Stockholm, a capercaillie approached me and then lunged at me and made the same display. At first it was some distance between me and the bird, but i stayed in one spot and took pictures, and the bird continued to walk towards me, and soon he was within striking distance, lunged at me and i backed hastily and fell backwards like David.
Spikklubba I think he’s just wants a friend
It's like a Crow dressed up as a Turkey.
David is ten times better better at dealing with aggressively horny birds than most people who encounter these.
Sir David's hands-on treatment of narration makes him one of the best naturalists ever... on top of his immensely charming style and sheer bravery, that is.
Can you imagine how impressed a female would be after seeing one take on a human?
Love capercaillies 💕 Every detail of their appearance is unique and gorgeous: their chin tufts, their scarlet eyebrows, their ivory beaks, their fan tails and fluffy, tufted bottoms! They scuttle around bent double, kind of like Groucho Marx, with that crazy gleam in their eye, and make that insane glurking noise, like drains or popping corks 🍾🍾🍾 They remind me of the spoof ornithology page in Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle’s “Molesworth” series, which features a cartoon bird with its beak open and the caption “A Glurk, trolling” 🦃
Such cute but grumpy birds. Richard Attenborough is a world 🌎 treasure!🤣
Reminds Me Of My Local Ruffed Grouse Here In The States. We Have A Particular Male Down The Road From My Town That We Call “Rudy”. Nobody Shoots Him During Hunting Season, Despite Him Attacking Our Cars And Even Us Sometimes. Funny Little Guy.
Iconic.
Happy 94th Birthday Sir.
Run David Run!
capercaillie: "get off mah land!!!" xD
Like a cross between a grouse and a turkey with the personality of a goose or a particularly contentious rooster.
Damn, I love that clicky noise they make
This might be the funniest and most charming video I’ve ever seen. I love Sir David; he’s our true royalty! 🏴
Props to the man for not sending it like a kickball
Well done to the RSPB & the other organizations for their hard work in keeping the Capercaillie population afloat in Scotland.
What a beautiful bird.
I love David Attenborough.
the capercaillie look so cool!!
Thanks dank very cool
Beautiful birds 💕
I love how this was probably recorded with top of the line equipment, but as the file was passed down, compressed over and over again, it was eventually uploaded in poop format.
I find this is the typical reaction for an Englishman in Scotland. ;)
These things are like gangster peacocks D:
THUGCOCKS
One time I saw a capercaillie chasing a car. He's territory was on the road
Damn, 14 years ago ? Old but gold, it seems
I love they way he says Scotland 😍
wow, that clicky noiase is awesome!
Uma ave linda e Valente!!!!
Anyone here from Springwatch?
Valamist yes lol
Ufc "sorry guys due to coronavirus we cannot get human v human fights so instead we've managed to line up David Attenborough and a bird in a best of three rounds!"
der uhrhahn
wunderschön
Raise your hand if you were rooting for the bird. 🙋🏻♂️
Such fun birds :D
Dank
Wow even in this video David sounds so different... Please don't die you global treasure :(
David Attenborough ate very well that night.
@randomlaughingman They lived here in Denmark to on the heath but were extinct 30 or 40 years ago.
It looks like a grouse x a turkey, and it sounds like the Grudge x a water drop x the wooden frog that you can run a stick across.
00:55 "David you've played street fighter 2. Can you do any moves from it?"
"my fave character is guile and I've mastered the flash kick!!"
Kick to the face!
OMG it's not really shy! ^^
David could’ve hit his head when he fell back like that. Beautiful clip.
I wanna make that clicky noise my ringtone.
Thanks to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and Tony Hawk's delightful surprise, I looked this up.
Same
ахереть. 15 лет назад. наверное самый древний ролик который я смотрел на ютубе. привет из 2022го))
What nature series is this from? :)
You forgot my favorite, cappercallie ❤
....you know, the soundtrack to the Famous Grouse adverts make so much more sense after listening to the Capercaillie :D
I absolutely ADORE Capercaillies! They'd look so cute on the label of a Scotch Bottle! :D
They're great until your cycling down a path and you get the fright of your life from their clucks 😂
Watch out David- he's coming for you!
Crazy to think i was 11 when this video was uploaded 😭 youtube was a whole different thing
its neck doesn't hurt already ?!!
Thanks dankula
Wait... Wait... Don’t Tell Me! sent me here. 🤷🏻♂️
Same! They're doing a replay right now, clips from different shows, and they played the Tony Hawk (fancy bird) segment. Haha! I love that show.
Lmao same I listen to their things on road trips
Which series is this from?
Those male capercaillies are surely aggressive when they fight.
That was great when it knocked Sir David on his rear! Ha!
5/5 for David vs Capercaillie.
I want one of those as my pet. I'd train him to attack all of my enemies!
If you liked that click you need to look up the bushmen of the Kalahari. Their speech has neat clicks in it.
The bird was first! That's why they're awesome!
The fact David essentially got attacked by these birds scared me as a kid.
They belch a lot
The biggest of grouse!
What is the number of capercaillie up in Scotland at the moment?
Sorry, I started counting but it took a while.
look how goddamn tough that bird is, taking on David!!
woo Turkey go!
They sound like bamboo wind chimes lol
These birds have the personality of a honey badger :)
Talk about ALPHA MALE...He is the man!
bird fight ! bird fight !
this is why you shouldn't mess with the scots! even our birds will take you out hahaha! Sir David is awesome! he easily has one of the best jobs in the world :)
These birds are all over Europe and all the way to Siberia.
@@UltraCasualPenguin it only took 13 years for me to learn this 🤣🤣
@Draconis666 Dude I just found out they also live in Scotland... only ever saw videos of Russians bothering them in Siberia
The Capercaillie is now featured on the new British 10 pence coin
I was sent here by Count Dankula.
Aye, its just burps...too much Irn Bru...He thought Dave was going for his stash.
INCREDIBILE , : in quel periodo il gallo cedrone è talmente " fuori di testa " che non riconosce i suoi nemici naturali , Volpi , Orsi , Lupi , Aquile , tassi , puzzole , che ovviamente ne approfittano e se ne fanno scorpacciate 😁
Imagine if they were the size of horses
Capercaillies = Gangsta Chicken from the 'hood
It is a great shame on the Scottish people who have nearly hunted this magnificent bird to extinction!! Some morons still shoot them today just for the sake of a Trophy even though there are only a few left. I have no problem with people hunting for food, but to shoot them for a trophy just because they are big birds is just disgusting! What sort of sick horrible disgusting people go out shooting these magnificent birds??? They are nearly extinct now! STOP SHOOTING THEM!!! Have some respect!!!!
the thing is it seems to me that these birds do not run away from humans so it's not any sport to hunt them. during mating season you should be able to simply grab them and immobilize them as you would handle a domestic chicken, turkey, duck or goose. If so it is no display of hunting skill, or difficulty to take them. it also seems to me that it would be easy to live capture a mating group and captive breed them. sure the first generations would be tame ( you can actually hand feed these things even in the wild) but if you release them the generation that follows would be fully wild. also these birds are found all the way through Europe, Russia and into China. they really cannot be as rare as all of that.
adaje5 you sir, just described perfectly why they are not hunted in the mating season
Honestly, why hunt them at all? They don't seem to have any fear of humans even outside the mating season from what I've read, so it's not like they're hard to find and kill. Like adaje5 said, why not just capture and breed them? Do they taste good?
brigidtheirish Capercallie is one of the hardest birds to find and catch, when its not mating season
They're not rare, they're only rare in Britain because our countryside is so ecologically dead and we have so little natural space, most space being used for farms.
Yes Sr Beautiful B ,ilove B
All other animals are playing Street Fighter while wood groose is playing Smash Bros here\
heeeja boy 100 al mas grande
@SimilkameenSlayer1 Acually yes! so much so that they very neerly went extinct in scotland. The breeding stock was so depleted that more had to be brought in from mainland europe.
The biggest of grass?
Ich liebe diese eitlen Hähne, vor Testosteron strotzend...🤩
They are delicious. Capers are quite popular hunting game in the nordic countries.
If I was in that situation, there would be a roast capercaille on our dinner table.
Anyone 2020 watching this so reply me
Me! We might be about the only ones! :D
"Get offa my turf, punk!"
"Let's see you come over here and say that!"
"Where's the women at?"
7 people lost a chicken fight with a capercaillie
he have harem
Capercaillie is glorious immortal epic bird. ALL HAIL CAPERICAILLIE KING OF THE UNIVERSE!
Can this thing be eaten?
You can't hunt them during the breeding season when this is filmed. Only in the autumn months, and at that time they are extremelly shy. And they taste delicious :)
