Very cool! I love birds.
And I love you guys! Thanks for another video!!
The babies are so cute omg
Nature is amazing to see how caring some parents are is heartwarming and to have an LED light on their forehead to say how hungry they are is great,
are there any other birds that have this spit of skin that changes color based on hunger?
Actually, grebes are most closely related to loons, whereas flamingos are more closely related to penguins, loons and grebes both constitute the mirorder Gaviopodicipedae, while both penguins and flamingos constitute the mirorder Phoenicopterospheniscae, both are mirorders within the grandorder Procellariimorphae, where the monotypic mirorder Procellariae is the most basal, the grandorder Procellariimorphae is one of the three major branches of the Aequornithes superorder, the other two are the grandorders Gruicharadriae and Ciconiopelecanae, the latter is the sister group to Procellariimorphae, whereas Gruicharadriae is the most basal, the Aequornithes superorder is officially defined to include all modern waterbirds other than waterfowl.
Ah s(beep)
Here we go again -_-
Plus Grebes and loons are now separately classified orders of Podicipediformes and Gaviiformes, respectively. Recent molecular studies have suggested a relation with flamingos while morphological evidence also strongly supports a relationship between flamingos and grebes.
@chimmythewebarebearsfan2016, actually, flamingos are more closely related to penguins, while grebes are more closely related to loons, both flamingos and penguins belong to the mirorder Phoenicopterospheniscae, while both grebes and loons belong to the mirorder Gaviopodicipedae, both are equally the youngest and most derived groups within the grandorder Procellariimorphae, flamingos and penguins are more closely related to each other because flamingos have more in common with penguins such as having bristly tongues and colonistic behavior, flamingos use their bristly tongues for filter-feeding, while penguins use their bristly tongues for gripping onto slippery prey.
@@indyreno2933 think again
A study of their DNA delivered a proof: Flamingos' closest living relatives appear to be the smallish waterbirds known as grebes.
So OOF YOURSELF before i tell my friends
Even stranger than i thought they were
