Kingfisher: That was a delicious dinner. And it gave my vomit a perfect feng shui for the nursery.
A wuh? 💀
Hahahaha 😂😂 nice
@@pughshipp What’s the skull for?
But, it's the rug that really ties the place together.
@@blackpeter70 😂🤣
Had no clue the kookaburra was a type of kingfisher, but on reflection that totally makes sense. Coolness.
Licorice?
Biggest kingfisher in the world! My mum has a fishpond and has to replace the fish every 2 years, thanks to the breeding pair of kookaburras that live in the gumtree above it.
First time I saw a belted kingfisher I thought it was a kookaburra
And toucans are a type of woodpecker!
@@marvalice3455 Not convinced toucans are a type of woodpecker.... they're related at a suborder level (pici), but not family or genus. They're less closely related than chickens are to turkeys (same subfamily) and you wouldn't say a turkey is a type of chicken......
I watch them fish better than me every morning at the river. They always seem like confident, proud little birds
I usually build a necklace with the bones of my prey, but this is way more badass.
Oh doodoo poop, u always know what to say 🤗
Who is your prey
@@Temerityofficial21201 anyone who replies to his comments 🤫🤭
@@Holybeast1234 someones breaking in pls help
Perhaps the bird was the inspiration for the skull throne.
I heard and saw a Belted Kingfisher at the pond and I wanted to make sure I had identified it correctly. This presentation was very informative. Thank you 🌸
Just wanna say, from all the bird nerds, THANK you for the World of Birds series! Love it!
Also, would love to see a video on brown thrashers.
I would love an episode about burrowing owls!
Clearly the Queen is gonna win that battle, she ain’t messing around
She has messed up the evolution of most her own species in the first place 😂
clearly the queen is going to be extinct soon. :)
A tough old bird vs an actual bird. Their battle will be legendary.
I'd love to see a video about Blue Jays. Their behaviour is so interesting and I feel like this get criticized more than they should.
Check out Leslie the Bird Nerd here on TH-cam. She does a lot with Jays.
They're also an corvid
Intelligence +
They're amazing birds. My mom whistles for them and they come for their morning peanuts.
I sure do love me some fish!
I am doing a bird project for school and this was by far the most helpful thing i watched
In The Bahamas, we have the Loggerhead Kingbird; it's one of those more terrestrial Kingfishers. They are interesting in that the previous year's offspring will hang around and help raise those of the current year before eventually setting out to find their own territories.
I know it's a very common one but the black cap chickadee is the mightiest little bird ever and deserves a video from you lovely Canadians
I loved this episode.
Things restricted to Canada... This what I am looking for NEXT!
Would love to see some Spoonbill, but any content you bring has an amazing quality!
@6:02 The Kingfisher put a whole new meaning into the term " well oiled machine"!
My favorite bird to see while trout fishing on small streams and rivers. They're so precise and successful.. almost like their mocking my fishing skills. 😛
I've wanted to know more about Roadrunners for quite some time now but strangely, not a lot of places talk in depth about them. Would be amazing to see your coverage of them one day :)
Ah. So owls aren't the only birds hacking up pellets. Interesting.
I watched an Australian magpie cast a pellet once! It seems like lots of birds do it.
Any bird that eats stuff it can’t digest likely hacks pellets
I'd love an episode of the collared dove, that little world conqueror is so beautiful yet so ignored...
I'd like to see an episode on avian brood parasites. You know Cowbirds, Cuckoos and the like
I second this. Cowbirds have recently shown up in our area.
I have never heard of cowbirds
@@louissungmokcho9823 ok so they behave like cattle egrets when cattle steps on grass insects will come out so they eat them also they eat ticks and lice from cows
@@louissungmokcho9823 I know it because Rosalie Stevenson said avian brood parasites
Hi this video is about me!
LOL
congrats lmao
Wow, yes ☺️.
Hey, you were great in the video :)
Me too 😊
Thanks so much for this information! I have seen belted kingfishers around, but learned so much about them from this video. I appreciate all the work you did to assemble and share this information.
I’ve had the honor of watching these beautiful creatures fish in person a few times in my life so far. Such a cool experience.
I really love birds, especially the kingfisher. Their fishing style is so fascinating.
I love these birds. During dinner tonight, as we were looking at our beautiful view of the stream behind our house, we saw a Kingfisher dive right into the water and came up with a fish. It was great dinner theater.
Look at the picture at 4:59. Is it possible that the colored band is to mimic the branches they next in? It looks like a similar color to the branch. I could see that might be a bit of camouflage used to trick predators into thinking there's something in the way.
I donno. I might be an idiot who's just overthinking things.
Nice idea
They nest in burrows, so not likely.
World of Birds is amazing as always, keep up the awesome content
I can hear and spot that bird anywhere I love the river life.
Your videos keep me going more than some internet therapists.
we have a Kingfisher that lives in our cove here in Southeast Alaska, amazing hunters!
I was kinda interested in the bird but the host kept me glued 😍
This bird deserves a more badass name
“But we’ll just see who wins that evolutionary battle” *SHOTS FIRED*
These birds have found the perfect combination of survival elements against humans. They're pretty enough to attract our eyes and small enough to deter our stomachs.
Fun fact, kookaburras were introduced into Western Australia (from their native eastern seaboard) to deal with the "snake problem", and have since wrought environmental havoc. Is there a story in that?
Probably but Idk if that's up this channel's alley
Why can’t the Australians just leave anything alone
@@BensCooking I take it you're English? the birds were taken west in 1896
-- 125 years ago --
by the English masters. Let's examine what other sins they committed at the time and since.
Land, sea, and sky all in one adorable package neat
For some reason, I like this video much, much better than a lot of the others 🙂
It’s me isn’t it
Ditto 😉
Love animalogic 🦆💚🦆💚
Bird: *swoops down and eats fish*
Other fish: Where did Jerry go?
Suggestion: Chickadees! Chicka-dee-dee-dee-dee!
I would love to see an episode on the kiwi, their so weird and wonderful
Love when you can go out and actually bird with the film crew. Since I am from BC I will never see a Cardinal, they would be interesting. Also feature a migratory songbird that we are losing because of winter habitat loss, hazardous migration routes and maybe the scientist studying the animal which had found out that we are losing them and why we are losing them. A Greater and/or Lesser Prairie Grouse is also an iconic bird that we are losing.
Ok, but imagine an eagle sized version of these.
So, a bald eagle?
They exist and they're called kookaburras :)
*Gets impaled by giant kingfisher* (Dies)
Osprey :)
@@SaintNevermore Oh yeah ospreys are like big kingfishers thanks for mentioning it
I was wondering in the beginning of the video that I doubt I will ever get to see it in Toronto and 3 minutes into the video, lo and behold, the video was shot in Toronto. I guess I need to keep my eyes open more often
"It builds its nest with the bones of its prey."
Nathan Explosion: "Brutal."
Great video, I love all the passion that you put in your job.
Suggestion: The Vampire Finch.
The red winged blackbird is one of my favorite birds! Cover it please!!
i saw a belted kingfisher yesterday, they're pretty cool birds
I'd love to see you cover black-capped chickadees!
Nobody will believe me, but a kingfisher once landed 2 feet away from me on a rock, looked at me and asked "Mrrrrp??" so I said to it "MEEEEEEP!!!", then it agreed, and flew away.
Lol the vomit sfx 😂
I saw these during my canoe trip at Algonquin Park in Ontario! Magnificent animals!
Belted kingfishers are amazing!!
Yes, yes I am
I was not prepared for how adorable that baby was gonna be. Ohhh.
Amazing bird, love to watch them
Lightening plunge is a key feature of kingfishers. Also, takeoff from the water or how emerge is equally spectacular.
Excellent! My precious birds are getting appreciation.
I love Arenya. There, I said it!!!!! 🥴🌿✨💕
Could you do an episode on Quaker Parrots AKA Monk Parakeets, in particular the feral populations common in cities?
Great video, I actually recognize the park you filmed at and go there all the time to photograph birds!
Could you please do a video about Loons?!
Thank you so much!! your passion and genuine love for the animals you speak of is amazing. I feel the same way myself and love seeing it in others. ALSO! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! AWESOME VIDEO HERE I WENT OUT AFTER WATCHING AND FOUND A DRN KINGFISHER SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CREATURE! Ducks were what really got me into birding specifically, and i live in BC so we have countless migratory species come through. Wood ducks we saw only a few months into our journey, and had only previously seen pictures. We were blown away! Seeing that magnificent mandarin duck, causing me to conciquencially ID it and research a litte... MY WEEK HAS BEEN MADE! they are so dang beautiful, and instead of seasonally choosing a partner; they're like geese and are in most cases monogamous for liiidiffiifffiffeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that joke about the kingfisher's manners not impressing the Queen somehow aged both like milk and a good wine at the same time
Dragon: I litter my den with the bones of my prey!
Kingfisher: Ha! You are WEAK! I build my den FROM the bones of my prey! Now hand over all your fish.
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
I see a lot of those by my place in winter, when it's a little colder. Super skittish birds. Very shy, very hard to approach, but always easy to spot with their very distinct call.
In Germany they are called "Eisvogel", wich translates to "ice bird", since the one species that lives in Germany is blue, with an orange bottom.
I would love to see an episode about storks or heron
That is the most metal title I've ever read!!
Hi Aranya! I love your opening remarks! It was great seeing your presentation from PNG.
Yo! Loved this video about the belted kingfisher 🤴 🎣 . 10/10 would recommend. 👌 Do magpies next, or blue jays.
Please make a video about the quetzal, it's my favourite animal
I've heard that rattle my whole life. I knew it was some sort of bird but never knew which one. Fascinating.
so you are not gonna talk about that duck??? am i the only one who wants to hear more about that duck?
You guys are so amazing
Very informative. One of my favorite birds. I see them often fishing just a few feet away from my window. Thanks!
love this host!!! she does an amazing job
we love your channel very much, the video is very interesting, you guys do a great job, please make more new videos, we really support you ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍
This video was AWESOME
Kingfishers are cool. The way they sing out, they stand out in the cacophony of song birds in woods.
Making your home out of the bones of your foes. Yeah. That's metal.
Have seen these birds hunt before on my hikes. They are metal af.
I would love to know more about the desert cuckoo like one from the cartoon with cuckoo and coyote :3
But I enjoy any other topic as well!
Yes! Roadrunner! My fav
@@brynadoodle 🥰🌟
I had no idea they were so widespread (or that the laughing kookaburra is closely related). I thought they were a purely European bird.... that's amazing!
A video about freshwater mammals would be great such as freshwater dolphins etc
This bird is Metal!
Very good Animalogic video about another group or animal that are very awesome or weird,and I love it
Great video!
Please do a video on wader birds! For example the bar-tailed godwit 😍😍
4:39 She has a heart above her eye :p
Please do a video on white tailed kites!! 🙏🏻
It's sound is just a high pitched kookaburra laugh
Kookaburras in Australia have even been known to eat snakes and lizards!
added to my list just yesterday in the morning!
Thanks for letting us know that Kokabura's are kingfishers too.
Do one on the ivory billed woodpecker next please
I don't know why they called this thing the "Belted Kingfisher" when they could have called it the "Feathered Torpedo of Death" (7:15).
Awesome video!
It has been a while since I taught biology, but I am pretty sure that grasshoppers *are* invertebrates.
