Was about halfway through before I realized there was never going to be a transition into Twitter tweets and he was just going to keep talking about birds.
Same
I feel so stupid but at the same time the video is pretty good lmao
2:57 was when I realized
same
Realised at 1:35, just cause I happened to reread the title
We've been tricked, backstabbed, and quite possibly, bamboozled.
yes, yes we have
and clickbaited
Ivan Tube no, you just misunderstood the title
@@IvanTube0 clickbaiting would imply the title lied or over exaggerated what happens in the video
Shut up it just birds not toxic Twitter
The best kind of clickbait are the ones that are technically not lying.
I read this before watching the video, 4 minutes in I realised what you meant.
Not even your warning could save me.
What
OH WAIT LMAO I GET IT NOOOO
I just understood this after warching 7 minutes
for some reason, I've been reading clickbait as dickbait recently, someone help me
I really like how Austin has gone from “weird random and useless stories” to “just literally anything about anything”
But with passion!
Hello Lenin
he can talk about any random thing and it's always so interesting, love it!
Thats my favourite subject.
No..... he's becoming like Tyler from KnowledgeHub
Also, hello Lenin.
Expectation: An exploration of the virality of death, and social media's impact on it.
Reality: Bird go chirp, but which chirp is best at chirp?
It's a meme but for birds
why death?
@@driveasandwich6734 The most liked tweet as of a few days ago is the one that announced Chadwick Boseman's death.
@@Hater67876 Bosewick Chadman's brother.
Fact: none of us expected this video from the title
or from the thumbnail
Non of us are disappointed though
Yes. Nobody of us.
How is nobody noticing the fact that a bird twitter is a thing. A bird can tweet. Search it up. I think it was supposed to be a joke
Cristian Heal the title is a joke yes
I actually did something like this. There is this one male dove who likes to sit at the very top of our house and scream his song as loud as he can. For some reason, i decided to respond back everyday. One day i changed the tune a bit, and he started singing like that. He has since reverted back to the original, but I thought it was dope.
That is pretty cool.
Dope
I sing "cheese burger" to the black-capped chickadees in my neighbourhood, and at first they would start singing and come when I called. But now they've realized who's singing, they seem to use other shorter calls to communicate with eachother. Oops.
Huh.
nostalgiachu oh so that’s what the cheeseburger birds are called?
“Is this clickbait?”
*Well yes, but actually no*
the quote is "Good guess, but actually no"
falcolombardiii no??
falcolombardiii stop trying good be smart it makes you look really stupid when you get it wrong
@@islixxn not everyone knows about the meme dude.
@@Giantalfe bro i dont care dude B)
I have never been so happy about being clickbaited.
he didn’t have to use the twitter logo tho with even talking abt twitter....
The moment I realised what was going on I got the goofiest smile you can imagine on my face
You got punned.
About a third of the way in I completely forgot I was click baited lol
Get PRANK'D
I just now, 3 minutes in realised that he doesn't mean Twitter.
3? It took me a good 5 haha
Took me around 2:30 afsggdg
i got it around 1:50
It took me 5
I only realized when the squarespace ad started playing and he stil hadn't talked about twitter.
It's probably on the Billbird Top 100...
Okay that is funny
Such an underrated comment
oh my GOD
@@metanumia I'm glad to be able to made your day just a bit better 😃 I hope that the rest of your day is amazing and that you are also doing fantastic and not feeling down today 😃 Have a nice day and stay safe! 😊

Best quote ever:
"Your birds sound weird"
Holy crap this is god tier clickbait I honestly thought this was a vid on twitter
I love it
Plz report AxxL for spam in the replies, so god damn annoying
@@AxxLAfriku dude shut up, please.
That is so annoying
@@AxxLAfriku no
I thought this vid was gonna be about covefe
@@AxxLAfriku lol I bet your "girlfriends" are paid
@@megasonichunterramirez3231 nah he's too poor to afford it
I enjoy this “I’m gonna talk about whatever the hell I feel like” attitude coming from these recent videos.
hasn't he always done that?
@@vizthex yeah but now it kinda feels like he isn't restraining himself in the slightest
I like it!
Hello turtle duck!
recent? lmao, he's been doing that since like 2017/2018
*some sparrow* : * tweets slightly different *
Every other sparrow in North America: damn that slaps
Most birds: Hi!
One bird: Hiya!
Other birds: Woah say that shit again, man
No MSG? Haiyaa~~
💀💀
My thought process in stages:
Stage 1: oh, this is about bird calls
Stage 2: oh, this is going to transition into something about Twitter.
Stage 3: oh no, this is going to be all about the spread of this sparrow tweet
Stage 4: ... All the comments are going to be about this, aren't they?
Stage 5: reads comments and sees that they are all the same joke
@@andybradley8347 I just checked again found no comments that made the same joke as me.
@@aether8344 Stage 7: Profit
for a sec i thought that the creator of twitter was one of those biologists and that inspired him to make the app.
Fun fact that's actually about Twitter: the Friday night tweet from Chadwick Boseman's twitter announcing his death has become the most liked tweet of all time, surpassing the previous record holder, Barack Obama, whose tweet in response to the Charlottesville white supremacist rallies held the record for three years. In third place is also Barack Obama, in a tweet commemorating the life of Kobe Bryant after his death in January. Coincidentally, the fifth most liked tweet of all time was also tweeted this week from Macaulay Culkin who just celebrated his fortieth birthday.
Granted, it's likely this list will constantly change as the relevance of Twitter continues to dominate our culture and news cycle. If the past week is evidence, all it takes is one surprising moment to spark a viral tweet.
Yeah I honestly thought this video was going to be about that tweet. I'm not disappointed though.
Yeah I thought this video was gonna talk about that tweet and I was like "that's a pretty small turnaround for a video seems kinda too soon to make a video like this" and then I was wronged.
Now I wonder how long Austin has been waiting to publish this video to get the most possible number of views.
9nikolai just imagine him waiting for a tweet to get millions of likes so he could post this
This is what this video was supposed to be 😂
For the entire video, I was like: "wait, when does Twitter come into this?" Then I got it.
Same
I actually didn’t get it until I read the comments and was like “ohhhhHHHhHhhHhhh I get it...”
I was kinda expecting him to reveal this was a metaphor for how things get viral on the internet.
Same here
Today on "literal youtube titles I'm still surprised were literal"
Cant even be mad because this technically isn’t clickbait. Just a clever use of the title
It is click bait since the thumbnail used the Twitter logo and the title makes it even more misleading
Smog Blazer isnt that what the bird looks like tho
pip jam BUT the logo is a bird
@@alyssa-vi4jt not even remotely, yet it's what Twitter specifically looks like
Smog Blazer are you saying it doesn’t look like a bird...? Twitter’s logo is a bird, like you can’t say it doesn’t remotely look like a bird
Me: expecting controversial and sassy twitter "tweets"
Austin: *chirp*
“Every songbird needs a good agent” is the next successful graphic t-shirt
Kanye bird do be vibin doe. Man made millions on his hit single.
Give it up for tweetsys.
This wasnt what any of us were thinking it was going to be
Sometimes it's good to be wrong.
birb: *sings*
humans: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN ! ! !
Oh, this is a mislead, he's going to start talking about Twitter any second now.
7:11 Oh, never mind, he's literally going to talk about bird songs for an entire video.
Is everything OK Austin? You've been uploading way more often than usual
It's the lokdown productivity
@@raunaks2510 lockdown*
lmaooo
Must have hit him self on the head
Shh 🤫 I'm liking these videos. Let the man do his thing
He had us at the first half, not gonna lie
The "no one cares" statement is exactly why I watch your videos. You are covering stuff other youtubers would say isn't popular enough. I click you every time not knowing what I'm getting into but knowing you will make it interesting and there's maybe... no one else I'm subbed to that does that? Keep it up man thanks for staying fresh
Fun Fact: Twitter CEO is fond of bird watching.
Just in case you're wondering, the most liked tweet of all time is the last tweet on Chadwick Boseman's Twitter account, announcing his passing and celebrating his life and career.
Yeah, this may not have been the best time to release this video.
@@natem1579 yeah... He probably should've waited a couple weeks.
Me: It's 2020. I've survived through youtube's clickbait infestation. I swam through the sea of clickbaitness. I have memorized every clickbait titles imaginable. Nothing can clickbait me anymore. I can see a clickbait from miles away
Austin: Hold my tweet
This isn't clickbait
Just clever use of title
@@Odeon1970 no. What do you think the word 'tweet' comes from?
2:35
NineTailsGaming you’re right
@@inactiveytchannel thumbnail says otherwise
I love how this has such a slow start, it’s all science and amazing, then it escalates so quickly with Kanye bird
Tho sadly Kanye bird has not aged well... Hopefully the bird hasnt turned out too much like his human counterpart
Fun to hear how others view our research (and incidentally, I almost DID do my Masters on otters).
Ken Otter, I can’t believe you found this video - that’s so cool! 😂
Actual Dr. Otter? Subscribed.
Oh, THAT kind of tweet
me the entire video: when is he gonna talk about twitter
and then I realized, lmao im so stupid
u r not alone
Holy frick same
It took me a good 3 minutes to realize that this is not the video that I thought I was watching
I mean, the title technically wasn't lying.
Took me over three minutes to realize what's meant by "Tweet"
no one: white throated sparrows: awh yeah this the remix
How tf do you have the music verification thing
@@13x18 it's not a notification sing is a emotion
And also this comment sucks
@@raphax3099 true
@@13x18 I Am A Musuc God
We can’t go into the brain of a bird and figure out WHY they do this.
This was very refreshing. Thank you for helping me forget the world and pay attention to nature. I never knew birds could change their tune, let alone change the whole birdie musical landscape.
#KeepAustinWeird
This video is honestly more interesting than if you were talking about Twitter.
Alright it was a bait and switch, but it was also surprisingly interesting!
which fossil did you take
Fr though
Can you beat Pokémon birdwatch with only a white throated sparrow?🤣
the bread
I legitimately loved this video. I study environmental engineering and marine science and this sort of science is so so important, especially as ecosystems are getting quieter and it becomes more and more vital to identify the birdsong we can still hear.
I remember a while ago that whenever I would wake up when the sun came up (6 am where I live) there would always be a specific bird song that would be heard at that time. A couple weeks later I was walking through a forest trail near my neighborhood and recognized the same tune from a bird! I was fascinated by it, and when watching this video it seems apparent that bird songs are similar in a region.
Oh my God, now I understand why it was about "The Most Viral Tweet"
Good one, Austin. Good one.
I'm incredibly embarrassed that more than halfway through this video, I was like, "When are these Ornithologists gonna share their findings on twitter?"
I never knew how much I needed this knowledge 😊 Seriously, Austin gives some of the best first date, office party, bus stop, grocery line conversation tidbits ever
I was waiting for him to say "and then they made a social media to document bird sounds"
Yes me too
3:58 "heyhyoiurejustrynabelikekanyebiird"
Austin wow your voice
Birds aren't real, the government is controlling these tunes
I think I'd forgotten how much I love this man's content.
Thank you Austin I throughly enjoyed this video
*sees the title*
*watched the video*
"Ah, I see what he did there."
"kanye-like bird"
i don't know why i just can't stop laughing.
He made that bird famous.
God damn
This is why I love this channel! Great video! Just keep making stuff you love, Austin, you're doing a great job!
I enjoyed this video more than I have any other for quite some time! Thanks!
So, that call was essentially a bird meme?
Except it was a legendary one. Like pepe or SpongeBob. They never die.
In the Dawkins sense, yes; exactly that
Im embarrased by how long it took me to figure it out
I’m fascinated by any video you make. Keep up the good work Austin. 🤙🏼
This was so great, I just can't even. Made me smile,thanks
The kanye west sparrow story was still a better love story than twilight.
A minute in: "wait, what does this have to do with Twitter?"
"...Ohhhhhh. Huh. _Well played Austin"_
CZcams just stopped recommending your stuff for whatever reason, this finally popped up! Never change, Austin. (amazing content)
I really enjoy the randomness of your channel. So many interesting things to watch and learn about. I happen to find this topic fascinating. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
this is the best clickbait ever
When the title is technically true
"with a colleague from a different univers-"
me: HELL YEAH
"ity"
me: ahh man
Okay. I grew up in Missouri - and know that you're in Missouri but I was still surprised when you brought it up in other videos. Now I live in Alberta and to hear it brought up in another one of your videos made my ears perk up a bit haha
Me: Doesn't get what's the connection of the title and video
Me later: Oh yeah that's clever
This is actually one of the cleverest titles I’ve ever seen, well played sir
I watched the whole thing before realising he was actually talking about literal twitters
me too
This is possibly my favourite CZcams video ever.
Totally useless, utterly fascinating and full of a deranged enthusiasm that it would be rather impossible to match.
Austin, I love you, you are my late 2021 gift, please never stop 🥰
austin, i care. i watch these videos for a reason; because you make all of these videos with tons of research and then share all of it with us, and for some reason i find it so interesting, and i really appreciate it.
What if we made a new sparrow remix that sounded like a popular song, and played it everywhere so that it caught on.
Like imagine you wake up and the birds are singing Megalovania.
Wright that down Wright that down
Hope Mother Nature is ready to get sued into the ground
imagine just chilling outside (you shouldn't be outside) and getting rickrolled by a bird
It's a beautiful day outside...
Birds are singing, flowers are blooming..
"The song is easier to sing so younger sparrows find it easier to pick up"
basically the definition of Pop music XD
Don't worry i love Pop, i am a zoomer
How do you do, fellow kids?
@@rootbeer586 bruh
This is really, really cool! I had no idea that this was a thing, I'm looking for more content like this!
This isn't the content we deserve but the content we need .
"huh"
"huh?"
"huh"
Huh huh huh, huh huh... Huh huh? Huh huh huh huh!! Huh huh huh 🤔🤔 huh huh huh🤷♀️
Huh.
Am i right?
Huh?
it's spreading
Huh? What was that?... Must be nothing.
Huh?
I caught this less than a minute post-release.
What
Me too
Same bruh
huh?
@@ImSquiggs This video. I clicked it less than a minute after release.
You're slick Austin! You had me! Good video!
This is awesome! Probably the best video on tweets on the internet.
In neuroscience class my teacher told us that birds always know their basic song, like the “sample” you said, but change it with the sounds that they hear, infant birds that are taken from their original home and put on another place where the birds there sing a different song tend to keep part of their original song and “remix” it with the new song, maybe this first bird had some hearing problem and ended up changing the song, and then the other baby birds learned from his song, it just shows how amazing nature is, always changing!! Great video
Did not expect this to be about birds. Really thought it was about twitter, I can't be the only one...
Hmmm maybe that was the point
That was some clever clickbait, it is the most viral tweet, just not the way we thought
I’m so excited you’ll alive! This video made me oddly happy!
I was waiting for him to explain how sparrows were related to Twitter when I realized what this video is actually about 😂
In the end I actually found this pretty interesting, thanks for tricking me into learning Austin! lol
same
Me:This is about twitter. Austin:It’s about REAL birds.
This is the best clickbate I’ve ever been subjected to, because it took me until the very end for me to realize it. Bravo.
Excellent video on such a unique topic
I didn’t realize this wasn’t about Twitter til like 2 minutes in the video 🤣😅
got this in my reccomended "4 seconds ago" lmao
Lol
Lol
Me: *sits through seven minute video trying to find out when he's going to mention Twitter*
nice profile pic
I LOVE HOW MISSLEADING THE TITLE AND THUMBNAILS ARE
THANK YOU
I thought this would be about Twitter so I’ll just say that I was very confused.
*i have been tricked, backstabbed, and quite possibly bamboozled*
I honestly thought you were talking about Chadwick Boseman’s tweet
Chad who?
@@Oscar4u69 black panther. He died
Holy shit same
What did he tweet?
What tweet? I don't have twitter
Awesome video as ever! Thank you! =D
I love your video because they are interesting and it's the most I have ever heard a CZcamsr mention kansas even in passing
