  • Herein we explain that birds do not hibernate in lakes, do not migrate to the moon, but DO go on very unique journeys, which we humans have learned about in a variety of ingenious manners.

    Fun fact. It was first suggested that birds migrated as far back as the early 19th in Germany when they found a stork with an African hunter's arrow in its neck. It was called the "Pfeilvogel", and the stuffed specimen still exists in a German museum. I found this out in QI.

    I'm a little disappointed that you didn't include a short note about the Rostocker Pfeilstorch. It was a stork that returned to Germany in 1821 after a successful migration with an African arrow (as in bow and arrow) stuck through its neck. It was the first real evidence of long distance migration.

    • @godistejp
      @godistejp Před 10 lety +1

      Just because a bird has an african arrow in it, dont mean it has been to africa, could been a german who brought bow and arrow from a trip in africa back to german and then tried to kill a stork. So they couldnt possibly have proved it really was from africa back in 1821. To many variables for being "real evidence".
      Dont misunderstand me now, I dont mean that the Rostocker Pfeilstorch is fake, i just meant that, if you lived back in 1821, how could you have proven it really was from africa.

    • @styx85
      @styx85 Před 10 lety +2

      You know there's a difference between proof and evidence, right? It didn't prove beyond a doubt that the bird had flown from Africa, but it gave some important clues and set some wheels into motion.

    • @Geophagus100
      @Geophagus100 Před 10 lety +1

      High site fidelity is common in birds, meaning they return to the same wintering and breeding locations year after year. Also, birds are usually captured passively using large mist nets and not by people chasing them around with butterfly nets as the video may suggest. Recapturing birds is more feasible than you might think.

      +Ali Makaveli Birds actually can rest one half of their brain while still carrying out basic functions like flying with the other, so they trade resting halves, so they technically are "sleeping"

    Yeah Hungary here since we and our migrating storks were mentioned. Let me just seize the opportunity to mention that the hunting of these migrating birds is a problem. Many of them don't make it back come next spring and that's an issue that needs to be addressed.
    You know these birds are some of the best known here in my country. Usually villages have stork nest wheels up on utility poles, above electryc pylons or lamp poles or chimneys of old family homes. These stork nest wheels are there to help the birds nest upon them. In springtime it's a joyful sight to see the returned storks raise their hatchlings up in their nests.
    Do you know what a sad sight is? Seeing an empty stork nest.
    Knowing they were hunted down and didn't make it back from wintering in the south.
    Here's some cool stuff: Webcam broadcasts of stork nests in Hungary maintained by the Hungarian Ornithological and Nature Conservation Society. The webpage after the link is not in English, but it's a list of addresses also marked on an embedded Google map. Just open the collapsing sections and it even says in English where you have to click to see the live feed. www.golya.mme.hu/index.php?p=webcam

    • @terryfuldsgaming7995

      Hummingbirds actually invented geese. They are how they get to the moon without suffocating. So they are actually inside the geese,not on their backs.

      Exactly. There's a movie named "Einstein and Eddington" in which Eddington does an experiment that proves Einstein's theory. Eddington presents his evidence to a room full of 'scientists', a lot of whom are offended by it and at the end angrily leave the room because the new ideas completely mess up their existing world view.
      A REAL scientist is open to new and seemingly ridiculous ideas even if it opposes everything they thought was real. The goal of science should be to adjust our belief system to match reality, not the other way around.

      Paul Magnus Sørensen-Clark​ Because snipes have been used to trick campers, scouts and other kids during activities and initiation rites for decades. The adults would tell the children to go into the woods and bring back the vicious, toothed birds in order to pass the test/rite/activity. When the kids failed to bring back the bird, the adults would have a good laugh and the kids would discover they had been duped.
      Then the kids would feel a bit embarrassed at being so silly as to believe that such a fantastical bird could actually exist. Since so many people don't think snipes exist (or at least they don't really know what the bird looks like), a bunch of random and crazy attributes would be given to the bird in order to scare the kids and make it more difficult and exciting to try to complete the challenge.
