Just like human, the male bird pretends to suck at house work.
+This Guy Hehehe.
Hahaha! You earned a beer for that one!
+This Guy Speak for yourself
they are not its only some rare cases
Exactly lol! And also this creature's mate for life with no divorce so they are better than humans when it comes to commitments.
*Damn this is the most beautiful MATTE FINISH bird I've ever seen.*
😆
seen*
God is such a Master Designer
Matte has always been the best 😌
Better than the iPhone
I love how the male is like "I can't clean! I can't decorate! I hunt babe! It's all I've ever known!!!"
I love that he tries those things and she says it's not good enough. Typical woman.
I don't cook, I don't clean!
But let me tell you how I got this ring.
@@vinny9868 modern human female is like that
"I don't cook, I don't clean! But I still want you to hunt for me!"
Gender doesn’t exist in nature...

Father: how much of this big ass frog do you want?
Son: *YES*
honestly lol I was suprised the chick was even able to eat that thing
This is the way
They speak like that????? I don't think so...wth....

Frog's legs can occasionally twitch for some time after it has died.
Oh dear

Find out now how this bird still looks so young after living for 44 million years.

How about, the evolution theory is right, but there is also some intelligent design? That's what I'm taught. I mean, physics can't explain why there was a big bang, or anything, after all.
Why does your belief in God deny any other theory?
Damn these have to be the cleanest birds I’ve ever seen
Especially since they live in mud
I would like to thank the man who narrates. His voice is unforgettable. Thank you for an amazing childhood.
the person who is speaking is no other than Sir David ATTENBOROUGH THE ONE AND ONLY
@@konradbauer685 hes married to greta thunberg right?
Watch his documentary on Netflix ! It’s really mind altering 🙏🏽
Oh hun. That's as bad as not knowing Mickey Mouse. Or Mario.
David Attenborough is a narrating legend of the BBC.
@@SierraHarmony Not everyone in the world have BBC broadcast in their home... Sure David is a legend for most of us nature lovers, but don't be surprised if someone doesn't know him.
*drops mud*
"oh dear"
Yes😂🤗
He's trying so hard XD
He even got a big piece of mud
danielle oh bother
It sounded cute though hahah
Male when building nest: I'M HELPING. I'M HELPING.
Are you really going #notallmalebirds here?
He may have done really well when the cameras weren't rolling.
male when feeding:eat my precious or your mama will leave me
Mike Foley bow chica wauwau.
some raw footage of the hunting would be nice
I have never seen this bird in my whole life until now after 44 million years
Maybe you did, but you don't remember
For someone who lived that long you look quite fresh
@@amonraii7273 🤣🤣🤣
@@amonraii7273 it's her mouf, isn't it??
Seen it on this vid for the first time too.
the voice of the man is so warm, "oh, dear'' so sweet too.
These birds look like they've undergone a minimalist redesign for an apple update
And we love them for it, too.
Wrong!
got an apple ad before the video lmao
🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣
Jesus, rette meine Seele !! no
They look so smooth, I can’t be the only one amazed by this
You aren't! They look almost fake :D
You mean their yellow head?😂
They look like a smooth avocado
😂
They look like my pc monitor when it running pubg
They lived 44 million years ago, yet they look 44 million years in the future
I think you’re on to something here
Lmao facts
Those black thingy on their heads are satellite dishes. Lmao.
@Omar20v i believe there's a degree of error for sure, but if you think this all popped up 4000 years ago, you're nuts. Even if you believe in a creator, there's no where in any holy text that says the earth is so young, at least not without making man-made guesses that hold the same degree of error as carbon dating. You can believe both, study your own holy book, I did.
@Omar20v I'm constantly updating and changing my knowledge base and i dont hold firm to any idea too strongly in light of evidence. The earth was created on the 6th "day" of creation, a day is defined by one roughly 24-hour rotation of the earth, how could 5 previous "days" exist if there was no heavens or earth to constitute a day at all? The only confused one here is you.
44,000,000 years old their cakes must be HUGE to hold all those candles.
th-cam.com/video/LQeAKA4bsqM/w-d-xo.html
They just need three tho, 44M lol
Male bird: Oh look see, everytime I try to help.
Female bird: You literally just dropped the mud..
Like my husbabd... he tries to help but makes a bigger mess at the end 😂😂😂
I hope zefrank reviews these birds in the future. Seems to be ripe with content
Only JESUS CHRIST can save your soul from the flames of hell!
So many emotional twists in a 4 minute video about birds.
1. Aww UwU
2. Eww OvO
@Nicholas Olesen
I wore contacts for years, although I don't anymore. It can take a while to get used to putting them in your eye, but the trick is to not place it directly on your pupil. You will find that very difficult.
When putting them don't use a mirror. Don't need it. Just lean over the surface of where ever you are, use your other hand to open top and bottom eyelids, look to the left or right and put the contact on the opposite corner on the white of the eye. Then use your finger to move it around the eye area so it's not sticking, then position it in the right spot. When removing them just do the same thing.
Male: "Look, I brought mud!"
Female: flies off
Male: flings mud over the side when female isn't looking
That's one of my favourite Attenborough moments because he had searched for those birds for many years before he found them and was able to film them he just sounds like father nature ciao for now
1:19 he didn't even try, just dropped it straight onto the ground 😂
Lol
😂😂😂
Yeah it was like watching a home movie of my ex 😜
Oh dear...
maybe she wont notice
I was not expecting the turkey noises and hopping and let me just say I am delighted.
same, turkeys noises ftw, all for turkeys, start a religion around them
@@RareSeldas Benjamin Franklin approves
"They look like penguins but can fly."
🐧: *sad flapping*
Lmao this was funny....i laughed out loud 😂😂
Wow those birds are almost as old as David Attenborough.
I like that after the chick reveals itself at 2:32 it slowly descends back into it's nest with each chirp.
Lol !🤣
Yeah that was funny
cant unsee
Quicksand in the nest!
😂
These birds look so futuristic and Sleek seems as they were designed robot creatures
ironic since they are basically 44 million years old...
kailash verma haha. yeah it looks like from another planet..so neat and sophisticated
Kailash Verma;
Millions of years of Evolution gave them these Traits for survival.
kailash verma - so much honesty and integrity in his voice, and in truth. He's focussed on saving our beautiful planet.
Their feathers were so smooth they looked like they were CGI's.
"The male doesn't seem quite so skillful"
He's trying, ok?
I’m not the bird (obviously), but it seems like he’s faking it because he knows his partner will do a better job.
He’s worse than Saka. Should have let Stirling build it.
Yeah! Stop nagging!
@@johnathant6735 "i'm not the bird (obviously)" that's exactly what a bird would say.. you're surrounded now just admit it.
@@johnathant6735 How do you keep your feathers so smooth?
He might not be a good Architect but he’s definitely a great father!
The frog legs squirming out the baby birds mouth at the end though.
crazy nature,
made me think of a person being eaten by a pterodactyl chick
Is a horror movie 😫😁🤣
Shit was hot
Baby yodas
these modern nature documentaries are so crispy and well filmed it makes me so satisfied
That's why they're called rubberbirds.
@@ceesan5605 shame our eyes have such low quality imagining we won't be able to tell the difference
I love birds! I also love mammals and butterflies. Birds are the most fascinating animals ever
I saw them with my own eyes in Ghana, I had to work on a project to protect the yellow pichatartes. Amazing creation ❤
@@koreyb would u invest it in good projects?
I love David Attenborough's voice. And what a beautiful bird
+Brennan Eslinger I'm surprise he still alive. You know a documentary is good when David Attenborough narrates.
+Ichigo1423jfk yeah. absolutely
Ichigo1423jfk
I'm glad he's still alive.
Brennan Eslinger agreed
"Oh dear." :D
They look like tiny, flying penguins with those feathers.
Did you know some ancient penguins weren't black and white

@@mryellow4633 No, I didn't know. Thanks.
and WHO said penguins cant fly
well African penguins
Those birds got class
At this point bruh just finding animals and shoving it down their throat 😂
i think one of my favorite parts is the very gentle clicking their beaks make
agree
I love how they run.
one forgets the attention paid to capturing sound, when one is so blown away by the images.
Uhm, sorry to rain on your parade but the sounds are made by foley artist, they aren't natural sounds.
The sound is added in production.
They look so smooth * - *
I was thinking that too
+YouSwellow from a far, they just seem like clean black rubber.
they are like cubone...the head part
Yeah, I thought they were CGI'd @-@
its Bird Cubone!!!
Yo these birds have such a nice lil life. Cool house, nice spot, good view, minimal predators, flying.
2:00 he hops due to the thunder and is a little bit scared awwww
"henryy , just leave me alone i don't need your help"
"calm down babe i can do this"
Ha, you've made me realise how daft my sense of humour is.
Diamond Dust and then celebrate it in December
What he said in 2:32 ?
i love their feathers, they look matte
Yeah very smooth. I think they must be extra oily to be so sleek, which probably helps in such a humid environment
Smooth bois
That's why they're called rubberbirds.
Yeah.
The most flawless looking bird i even see💕
They're SO CUTE! I love them! The chirping, hopping, and wing displays are just adorable!
"the male doesn't quiet skillful"
*drops the mud
"Oh dear"

Yep that was my favorite line!

Bcuz hes not good at housework if u know what i mean
+abc1t1t And at feeding the kids too.
+kRVRKV TV ... god build that male brid to behave like that.. but he skillful finding a food compare to female bird who doesnt ... so.. both are complete each other... just like how men and women complete each other.. but nowadays... thing little bit mess up
I like their feathers so smooth and perfect.
They look so CLEAN
first time i see this bird in my life..i've been living under a rock.
Technically it was those birds that were living underneath a rock.
But what if he is that bird and he never saw mirron or any other bird like himself?
+Spaghetti perfect.
i never seen this bird ether!
Alex Mark me too , i lived in north korea btw
44 million years and it's only taken us a fraction of that time to drive them close to extinction.
IKR.... Rip
We're talented at being horrible

I like how almost 1,000 people just dislike a bird that’s been around for 44,000,000 years. Like f that thing 😂
Look at newest comments. The New Earth Creationists are getting mad because they are dated as older than 6000 years lol
these birds are shinier than ur ego XD
ive spent the last few hours of my day trying to talk some sense into these people who are claiming that the earth is only 10,000 years old- but to no avail. they seem to really fully believe "facts" written thousands of years ago. smfh.
@BBMute What a fucking racist
@BBMute You're a fucking racist
Oh lord this is the most splendid creature iv ever seen... its mannerisms are so unique and it mates for life... lord..
Not gonna lie, they look and sound cute. I wanna cuddle them
So strange looking.... Their feathers look as if they are carved out of wax or something similar.... Nature is pretty amazing...
yeah
and how smooth and fatherless the face is. it's lovely
Catonista Alford or conckers
Fritter the Furry Woah, that's sexist! Where's the mother?
you mean God is amazing lol xD
"Oh,dear.." 😂
Love David Attenborough.
He's the best
David Attenborough saying “oh dear” is amazing.
What a paradise they have built.
These guys can build a nice sturdy mud nest with only a beak and I can barely make a weird small pot out of clay with two opposable thumbs.
Cyber Peacock ughh sameee
Only 44 million years or practice to go, and you two can make a small bowl out of mud.
Dammit Garry you ruined the nest again!
Just go get some food for the kids.
Dammit Gary the baby has a frog foot poking out it's mouth.
Omg omg lol
He’s a good man though a good dad
Picathartes, new favorite animal.
Damn bird, why you so smooth?
Xeromaus They look so smooth...I wanna touch it feel it😃
yahh💓
That moment when a bird dad sticks around longer than most human dads.
You mean the Western Dad. Besides in the West, the Dads are their for the kids and likewise the Children keep the parents at home when old as well instead of senior centres.
@skankhunt42 It's not racist it's Factual. Weather you like it or not, is a different argument.

"and the male reaffirms the bond by displaying to the female"

wow.. that bird has a lot of talent.. can fly.. can hunt food.. and can do pottery.. 👍✨
Their plumage is incredible
Sir David Attenborough is a living legend of nature documentaries 💕💕💕💕
Its going to be so so sad when he dies. Hopefully not for quite a few years but documentaries will never be quite as good after

Dinasaurs 70 million years ago: *ROARRRRR*
Dinosaurs now: *squeak*
It's a joke, I know. But to be fair, dinosaurs most likely didn't have vocal cords but rather a fleshy sack called an esophageal pouch that enables birds with proportionally large bodies to produce low murmurs rather than squeaks. So dinos would've sounded like an ostrich or a dove
@@mryellow4633 Jurassic Park wouldn't have been as good with that xd
@@CinematicSeriesGaming True--I wouldn't be able to resist a hug if a giant, feathery T-rex waddled up to me, frantically waving its tiny arms while calling out with a low murmur that sounds like either purring or a muffled evil laugh... all while its neck pouch bloats like a toad.
@@mryellow4633 i know its a joke but sadly feathered t.rex is already debunked...
they found fossillised scaly skin impressions of it and concluded that its simply to big to be fully feathered! its body temprature would get to high if it had feathers
this is why giant mammals of today also lose their furr when they get to massive sized(elephants, hippos, rhinos)
but hey atleast we still have the hawk look alike feathered raptors!😅
@@mryellow4633 also they concluded large theropod dinosaurs did not roar or make bird like sounds but rather made low rumbling and hissing sounds like alligators do(forgot how they found this out youll have to google it if you wanna know more about it)
herbivores like hadrosaurs sounded more like a trombone or something bc of their hollow crest on top of their head! they were REALLY loud
