This is a European Starling, if anyone is wondering. Related to Mynah birds, they can learn an endless variety of sounds and vocals. I raised one from hatching to the end of her life, named Cheepie. She was nearly 20 years old & the best little bird ever.
Thank you for your story. It's good to know how long they can live. It's clear they have a language. I've heard them telling each other that a cat is around. It sounds like someone blowing a raspberry.
@deaganachomarunacathasaigh4344 No, you do not. In most North American forests, the most you'll here is the rustling of underbrush. Animal calls are infrequent. Plus, most animals that do make calls in North American wilderness sound nothing like this. (A few exceptions of course) But a lively wilderness is predominantly defined by underbrush stirring sounds in modern North American woodlands.
I don't know about all that. But the New Zealand bush can get pretty loud and noisy, especially during the warmer months. Lots of the same sounds and calls coming from mostly birds and insects, and they're pretty cool 😎
I grew up on an East Texas cotton farm, my grandparents had owned since 1920. Every year a heron would fly around the land and land on a fence post for a day or two. Just sit there. Just him....for years. It was usually the same post or one close. My Grandpa would say "Your friend's here!" As young as I was I thought it was awesome to see. But I wondered why? My grandpa, who only went to the sixth grade in school, said "Maybe he has an old memory and to him all those many years ago, this land was underwater. Or close to water. So he still comes here" That shocked me. As I grew older I realized my Grandpa was right and I did some research, that part of Texas WAS underwater in the past. The bird stopped coming, but it was a beautiful creature, I do believe it was a Great Blue Heron. Why he was always alone and why he would always come to our farm? Still a mystery.
Its genetic memory passed down through generations through nuerological pathways in the brains cortex like gorrillas and apes knowing what plants to eat or like when elephants find watering holes hundreds of miles apart in the dry season .
theres a group that comes to nest near my house every year and its hilarious to listen to the sounds they make if you observe them enough....one of them learned to mimic the call of a red tailed hawk and I've seen it being used to scare off other birds when they are feeding and dont want to compete with robin's or sparrows for food 🤣

Actually, to me, this bird sounds as if she lives near or in a mechanic's workshop - fixing cars or motorcycles. Lots of those sounds are like the machines - like an air compressor used to remove lug nuts, a dynometer to measure engine performance....maybe that's just me, but it's what I heard in many of this bird's sounds. They tend to imitate what catches their attention - I have a very old (in his 80s) Orange Wing Amazon and over the years he has learned and repeated sounds that seemed to interest him. He heard kittens once upon a time with a mama cat gave birth under my house and he imitated baby kitten cries for a time. He barked for a time too, when there was a dog next door. He also imitated the songs of birds he heard outside his window. Some birds are more prolific at it - like this little Starling bird!
I heard an air ratchet and car alarm. Heard the motorcycle and reving. High rpm stuff. Reverse alarm. And that effect when sound is compressed and then stretched by speed moving past. Maybe a racetrack?
The thing is that they copy the sound perfectly and not just sounding a little bit like she's living next to a mechanics workshop. If a stearling copies a mechanics workshop it will EXACTLY sound like one. It sounds different when someone is fixing a car, doesn't it? Sure, it sounds like some revving at one point. But isn't it amazing to imagine that for millions of years they have been copying dinosaur sounds from each other?
I know there are cryptids/historic creatures in the southeast that are rumored to do that. You should never start whistling while alone in a field/forest with poor visibility. The sound gets copied to lure people in
I suspect this amazing bird was copying at least some things from her environment, such as lawnmowers, cars, and other birds. Absolutely amazing and beautiful.
There was definitely a car alarm in there! And an elephant trumpeting. (Clarity edit: not a wailing alarm, I meant the bleep-bleep when you arm or disarm your car's alarm system.)
I’ve often wondered if Dinosaurs were capable of a wide range of sounds rather than just our one-dimensional interpretation of what dinosaur vocals could be.
Dinosaurs were not capable of making such sounds unfortunately. The syrinx, which helps us make our vocalizations, only appeared in a few dinosaur species. There were also no specialized vocal chords our birds have today, any sounds dinosaurs made were likely to be breathy and low grumbles. :)
@@kloe869 we know that Parasaurolopus used it's nostril portrusion to blow it like a horn. We also know Velociraptor used vocalizations to communicate.
@@todahsalaam8538Neither of those things are known. I'm aware of the hypothesis that parasaurolopus used its crest as a resonance chamber, I've never heard anything about dromaeosaurs vocalizing to communicate. Where did you hear that?
This is why I tell all my city folk friends that being in the countryside is like being on an alien planet. They've all never heard birdsong before, so when they come out to somewhere where there actually are birds, it sounds like a movie soundtrack.
How sad they are so disconnected from the natural world 😢 This evening, while swimming, I heard a Red-shouldered hawk, a family of four Great-crested Flycatchers, a family of Northern Cardinals, a Bluejay, and watched a Florida Blue land crab and several Brown anoles. I cannot imagine not experiencing the activities of my animal neighbors on a daily basis. It would leave a void in my existence if I had to live without their presence!
That's so sad, I live in a city centre in England and even here I hear and see all sorts of birds. I'm going to assume your friends are from the US, seems like cities here have much more parks and green space. I live next to a huge park with a lake and see just as many birds as I did living in the countryside
@icanseeyou9820 I'll be kind and just communicate that your assumptions appear to be based upon stereotypes. The US, as a nation, is situated on a vast area of geography, and therefore blessed with biodiversity in terms of flora, fauna, habitats, and even climates. The ecology of the habitats and larger ecosystems is diversified, even within a single state. Accordingly, the nation is not culturally, chronologically, nor agriculturally monolithic, so its citizens and their preferences and aesthetic aren't monolithic, either. Much depends upon the region, size, and history of the area. Some older cities, in fact, do have green space interwoven and set aside. I live in such a place on the eastern coast of Florida, and this city is more than 100 years old. Yet, there are parks, greenspaces, wildlife, and naturalized domesticated animals (we have a special district set aside for peacocks, residents here since the 1970s). The city of Key West does the same for hens and roosters. It just so also happens that I live on a riverbank property, and have alligators which sun on my riverbank. In a city. In Florida. Normal, here. In Florida, alone, more municipal planning is moving towards an emphasis on walkability, increasing green space comprised of *native* plants, for both public and private space. Arizona, Nevada, and California are moving away from water usage for "lawn space" and towards xeric gardening techniques comprised of native plants to showcase the region's ecology to save water, prevent erosion, and increase habitat functionality. Even New York City has Central Park, an exceptionally large area, which doubles as wildlife habitat and human recreation. My point is that this is a matter of perception, culture, generation, and priorities. Younger people are increasingly inside more of their lives with fewer daily interactions with the environment, and that may have more to do with OP's observations than anything else.
That is epic, and terrifying. Imagine being alone in the middle of the woods and all of a sudden you hear a bunch of these starlings making all sorts of weird-ass noises.
I am not sure if it's exactly this species of birds, but there's one in the Amazon rainforest that can imitate the sound of a chainsaw & absolutely scares people for fun
Okay this was actually pretty badass. It reminds me of that video where scientists recreated what the tyrannosaurus might’ve sounded like. Very low rumbling in a frequency barely recognizable yet insanely powerful. It was akin to hearing the earth bellow or maybe that’s just a trip induced thing I remember ages ago. That’s how I’d describe it.
Depends on how geologically active your area is. The brain gets temporarily hyperconnected when people trip. Look up the hum phenomenon too. Where in some areas people hear a persistent hum without any obvious external explanation.
It's a nice hypothesis but tbh when it comes to sounds there is wide range of speculation, this year there was a very complex larynx discovery found in a pinacosaurus the authors even describe that it's almost as developed as most birds so that proves any non avian dinosaur could have this organ and therefore allow for a wider range of sounds than just rumbles and growls...not to mention even cassowaries and crocodiles who are used as comparison can make some really loud sounds too
Is this the Tyrannosaurus video you're talking about? czcams.com/users/shortsTi3VHk2j2Sc?feature=share4 That sounds absolutely terrifying, I would hate to hear that anywhere let alone in the night.
....That bird hangs around construction sites. I can hear the different drills, saws, and hammers it has witnessed and is mimicking. That little starling is incredible. 🥰
This is a starling, they're amazing mimics of all sorts of sounds. The video is slowed, pitched and given reverb to make it sound more dinosaur-like until about the 1:00 mark. Hope this clears things up for some people :)
I mean birds are technically dinosaurs. Who knows, he may have the whole prehistoric dino vocal range too. Based on what scientists know about dinosaurs and their possible calls so far, it sounds kinda possible too. That’s super cool! Because people keep coming here to argue and tell me birds aren’t actually dinosaurs, I invite you to google “are birds dinosaurs?” And see the results.
@@BOBAFETT25882 sharks are incredible because they’ve existed since before trees! I always find that fact so fascinating. It’s also incredible how little crocodilians have changed in millions of years, and they really teach us so much about how dinosaurs lived. Super duper cool!
Starling. Not native to the U.S. but believed to have accidentally been brought over from Europe. I don't know the details. I love watching them especially in the fall in large groups foraging for food. Incredible those sounds are so intricate and varied. Such a huge repertoire of sounds. Incredible. Birds just aren't given credit for how intelligent they really are.
It's weird to think they're capable of arguably more impressive sounds and mimicry than parrots are, considering they're just normal garden and street birds here like sparrows or pigeons, lol.
The story of how sterlings in several other invasive species of birds got started is basically. Some idiot released a bunch of different ones in Central Park in New York City way back years ago. This of course cause competition with native species and some of those don't exist anymore.
Heh…it wasn’t an accident. It was some idiots who wanted all of the birds mentioned in Shakespeare here in the States and they were too successful. Now they pay the price for human stupidity because they have no protections like native birds do.
@@MostlyInterestingIt’s really sad, both for the native species, and for these incredibly smart birds who can’t help that their ancestors were released into the wrong environment. 😢
@@MostlyInteresting There were multiple releases of starlings in the 19th Century but apparently the 1890 Central Park release by Eugene Schieffelin was the first that resulted in a successful nesting colony. Accidental or intentional releases of non-native animals have caused ecological nightmares around the world.
To be fair , the video was slowed down quite a bit so the audio sounds far more terrifying and deep , but it's still so sick that all these crazy alien sounds are coming from a beautiful creature on Earth
Also though, the ancestors of this bird probably did sound like a slowed down, deeper version of it. Given how much larger they were it might even be more accurate
The coolest thing about birds like this and a lyre bird is they can teach each other the same sounds, so a whole flock can learn to sound like all kinds of things, and they will learn loud sounds faster generally, cause y'know...mating calls
Slowed-down speed or not, the vocals of this bird are absolutely BREATHtaking. The shivers sent down my spine are absolutely welcome. He deserves a goodie bowl for that.🐦🥜
This was played in a slower speed than it was recorded. That way we could really hear and appreciate the variety of sounds. It’s VERY cool and incredibly interesting!! Thank you !!
@@Stopstaring101the op has liked every comment on this post. That doesn't mean he agreed with what you said,or even read it in full. Being polite is an option also. The bird's movements looked natural to me. Doesn't look slowed down at all.
@@riddikulus1432You’re wrong. Birds don’t take a second to blink and the movement of the feathers is way to slow to be at normal speed, not to mention the drawn out echo-ey sound made when audio is slowed down.
Anything with that respiratory system would be able to make all manner of astonishing sounds, and we’ve found trace evidence for some of those structures on dinosaur bones, so there’s a distinct possibility that they had the capacity for all manner of complex vocalizations.
@@rodrigovillegas2263 unlikely, cause they were so big they would have produced very low frequency noises, but folks have done simulations of what they may have sounded like, if you feel like looking into it.
@@user-qg6cz2gr9w i'm saying many of the fossils we've found have had the muscle attachment points that appear to be analogous to the multi chamber avian respiratory system, which is what provides birds with the ability to make so many unique noises, implying that dinosaurs may have had the potential for a similar range of vocalizations.
I need to create a 10-hour version of this with overlapping, random bits of the same layered sound. I’ve not heard these beautiful sounds before and I regularly have forrest soundtracks playing in the background while I work, read, and chill. Lovely bird!
I think this is what the starling thinks an entire forest sounds like today :) I can hear cats, several different species of bird calls (also a woodpecker pecking), a deer and sounds that might just be animals moving through vegetation.
I have one too, found him as a baby and he's been the best pet ever, lol. He whistles, talks in both my voice and my husband's voice, calls our dog and bosses him around, makes the squeaky door noise, etc. He's been so much fun :D
@@isaiahhallett9871 He's actually very good, extremely well behaved. We have a big cage for him that he stays in when we're not home or busy doing things around the house. But we try to let him out for a little while most days of the week for about a half hour to an hour. He spends 95% of his out of cage/free flight time on my shoulder, arm or hand, and will literally follow me around the kitchen and mudroom. He's very friendly, social, and enjoys being around people. His first year he was a little more curious, and occasionally explored a little more, but now he prefers to stay in the 2 rooms closest to his cage. Unlike our dogs, he doesn't wander around our house or go places we preferred him not to, he seems to stay in his "zone". We didn't train him to do that, he just did it naturally. We feed him a mix of Blue Buffalo high protein cat food and a special dog food made from insects (for dogs with food sensitivities). I also give him dried soldier fly larva, meal worms, and fresh fruit and vegetables each day. Treats I give him dried river shrimp, tuna, eggs. I've never had another pet bird before for comparison, but I imagine he's a lot like a regular pet bird, perhaps even easier in a lot of ways. These birds can't really hurt or bite you, they sometimes poke and peck at you, but not in a mean way, that's just how they explore, but that seems to be a first year thing mainly. They don't really like getting "pet", but they love to be close and hang out on your shoulder, hand, lap, etc. Hope that helps!
My Grandfather had wild one he called Ragtag since he looked that way at the beginning. He came around firstly with assorted families, then later just by himself for a few years, then he stopped visiting after about 15 years. He too made some wild noises.

He heard kittens once upon a time with a mama cat gave birth under my house and he imitated baby kitten cries for a time. He barked for a time too, when there was a dog next door. He also imitated the songs of birds he heard outside his window. Some birds are more prolific at it - like this little Starling bird!
Part of it sounded like a train chugging
I definitely hear motorcycle/engine sounds from 8 seconds on and around 20 seconds sounds like revving
I heard an air ratchet and car alarm. Heard the motorcycle and reving. High rpm stuff. Reverse alarm. And that effect when sound is compressed and then stretched by speed moving past.
Maybe a racetrack?
No
The thing is that they copy the sound perfectly and not just sounding a little bit like she's living next to a mechanics workshop. If a stearling copies a mechanics workshop it will EXACTLY sound like one. It sounds different when someone is fixing a car, doesn't it? Sure, it sounds like some revving at one point. But isn't it amazing to imagine that for millions of years they have been copying dinosaur sounds from each other?
Played this on full blast with the family dog laying down. Towards the end he immediately started howling as if he were responding to another dog.
My cat started getting super wide-eyed, looking for my phone under the blanket 😅
My dog came in here half way through, in haste, to see what was going on
Cockatiel goes crazy screaming, tweeting and jumping in its cage.
My dog hated this video lmao. He's convinced its coming from outside
@leandroaude6926what does this intend to mean😰
Imagine a giant, hungry lizard singing this after ripping your mates to shreds.
Terrifying!
Isnt he lovely ! ❤ precious !! 💖
Bird noises can sometimes be too much, especially if they're loud and repetitive, but I'd never get bored listening to this guy
Until you're trying to sleep and he won't shut up 😂
Sometimes they pick a short loop of sounds and just keep repeating it over and over, that gets old pretty quick xD
Yeah, no incessant "chirp chirp" with this little guy, he has an encyclopedia of sounds.
Never gets old to me
This bird sounded like allah
Imagine a predator with that kind of imitating capabilities to lure you towards it.
Imagine being in the woods having a spirit quest on psychedelic mushrooms 🍄 as the starling chirps the ancient language.
lol! ...uh...

It's maping the environment. Technology mimics nature.
skinwalkers
I know there are cryptids/historic creatures in the southeast that are rumored to do that. You should never start whistling while alone in a field/forest with poor visibility. The sound gets copied to lure people in
I think he's imitating ambient noises from the outside like vehicles in the morning, trash trucks, construction, aircraft flying by. So bad ass.
This is way more terrifying than roaring would be.
I suspect this amazing bird was copying at least some things from her environment, such as lawnmowers, cars, and other birds. Absolutely amazing and beautiful.
Good point! Right in the last 2-3 seconds, it sounded like a passing motorcycle.
There was definitely a car alarm in there! And an elephant trumpeting.
(Clarity edit: not a wailing alarm, I meant the bleep-bleep when you arm or disarm your car's alarm system.)
i can definitely hear someone sawing wood and also a woodpecker in there
Maybe even a train?
The Lyrebird can imitate a baby crying perfectly
I’ve often wondered if Dinosaurs were capable of a wide range of sounds rather than just our one-dimensional interpretation of what dinosaur vocals could be.
Dinosaurs were not capable of making such sounds unfortunately. The syrinx, which helps us make our vocalizations, only appeared in a few dinosaur species. There were also no specialized vocal chords our birds have today, any sounds dinosaurs made were likely to be breathy and low grumbles. :)
@@kloe869 we know that Parasaurolopus used it's nostril portrusion to blow it like a horn. We also know Velociraptor used vocalizations to communicate.
@@todahsalaam8538Neither of those things are known. I'm aware of the hypothesis that parasaurolopus used its crest as a resonance chamber, I've never heard anything about dromaeosaurs vocalizing to communicate. Where did you hear that?
If you want a accurate representation of what dinosaurs sound like you need look no further than modern day chickens and crocodiles
Yeah look at all animals they have different tones
This bird actually does voice over work for Jurassic Park movies yep I’m sure of it.
No wonder some people believe that birds are drones if they come with sounds like that. 😂
This is why I tell all my city folk friends that being in the countryside is like being on an alien planet.
They've all never heard birdsong before, so when they come out to somewhere where there actually are birds, it sounds like a movie soundtrack.
How sad they are so disconnected from the natural world 😢
This evening, while swimming, I heard a Red-shouldered hawk, a family of four Great-crested Flycatchers, a family of Northern Cardinals, a Bluejay, and watched a Florida Blue land crab and several Brown anoles.
I cannot imagine not experiencing the activities of my animal neighbors on a daily basis. It would leave a void in my existence if I had to live without their presence!
That's so sad, I live in a city centre in England and even here I hear and see all sorts of birds. I'm going to assume your friends are from the US, seems like cities here have much more parks and green space. I live next to a huge park with a lake and see just as many birds as I did living in the countryside
@icanseeyou9820 I'll be kind and just communicate that your assumptions appear to be based upon stereotypes.
The US, as a nation, is situated on a vast area of geography, and therefore blessed with biodiversity in terms of flora, fauna, habitats, and even climates.
The ecology of the habitats and larger ecosystems is diversified, even within a single state.
Accordingly, the nation is not culturally, chronologically, nor agriculturally monolithic, so its citizens and their preferences and aesthetic aren't monolithic, either.
Much depends upon the region, size, and history of the area.
Some older cities, in fact, do have green space interwoven and set aside.
I live in such a place on the eastern coast of Florida, and this city is more than 100 years old. Yet, there are parks, greenspaces, wildlife, and naturalized domesticated animals (we have a special district set aside for peacocks, residents here since the 1970s). The city of Key West does the same for hens and roosters.
It just so also happens that I live on a riverbank property, and have alligators which sun on my riverbank. In a city. In Florida. Normal, here.
In Florida, alone, more municipal planning is moving towards an emphasis on walkability, increasing green space comprised of *native* plants, for both public and private space.
Arizona, Nevada, and California are moving away from water usage for "lawn space" and towards xeric gardening techniques comprised of native plants to showcase the region's ecology to save water, prevent erosion, and increase habitat functionality.
Even New York City has Central Park, an exceptionally large area, which doubles as wildlife habitat and human recreation.
My point is that this is a matter of perception, culture, generation, and priorities.
Younger people are increasingly inside more of their lives with fewer daily interactions with the environment, and that may have more to do with OP's observations than anything else.
@@ryan-qz5xb "no" what, exactly?
@@EyeSeeThruYou This was very informative, thank you for being kind about it despite my ignorant statement
i didn’t know starlings could imitate noises. quite amazing. what a repertoire! 🐦⬛🌷🌱
First time I heard it, it was chainsaw and R2D2 sounds, I laughed my ass off. 😂
M elementary teacher taught a starling to talk. Brought him to class, little bird was a superstar
@@DarthOblivious7891Goes to show how narrow your sound perception is.
We get starlings frequently where I live. I usually hear them mimicking hawks and even human voices! It's very cool.
So are all sturnidae's... pretty interesting family.
0:17 this sounded exactly like the wolves in Metal Gear Solid 1.
They should hire this bird as a voice actor. What a range. 😂
My Pet Talking Starling is 19 This Past Spring. Still talks and sings...so Unique these birds are
That bird has a decent chance at signing a record deal. It's an entire band in one with a whole new sound. The kids will be digging it, man!
It's like #PrehistoricIndustrialMusic. Sounds a lot like old @ThrobbingGristle for sure !
Or the car is broken.
Singing a record deal...
You mean those jiving, beebopping greasy hair kids chewing gum on the corner? They will think it's totally swell, man!
😂Let the bird listen on elvis...and then he sings like him😅
what’s really crazy is how it’s able to replicate reverb of some of the sounds
Yes! Birds are incredible.
@@katthefantasticI think it was sarcasm since the first 3/4 of the video was slowed down and reverb was added lol
Amazing!!!
The bird can genuinely tell you with acoustic analysis what part of the room it was standing in when it heard you fart. Unreal lol
Don't know but this bird sounds cool as fuck and the caretaker is blessed to be able to care for this little DJ
Since they tend to mimic sounds, these might be some sounds of an alien mothership revving up or levitating, in preparation to a hypersonic departure.
That is epic, and terrifying. Imagine being alone in the middle of the woods and all of a sudden you hear a bunch of these starlings making all sorts of weird-ass noises.
Nope... Nope
Yeah, I'd run like a scared child.
nightmare348-brilliant and hilarious comment
I am not sure if it's exactly this species of birds, but there's one in the Amazon rainforest that can imitate the sound of a chainsaw & absolutely scares people for fun
I don't feel this would be epic unless I was taking my victim into the woods?
Get this bird a movie contract. This is amazing.
I can't help but smile at the thought of a T-Rex emerging from the shadows lifting its head toward the sky and then whistling.
I don’t think I could deal with hearing hundreds of them simultaneously for dozens of miles. It would be like Times Square at noon x 100 🙉🤕😵💫
Okay this was actually pretty badass. It reminds me of that video where scientists recreated what the tyrannosaurus might’ve sounded like. Very low rumbling in a frequency barely recognizable yet insanely powerful. It was akin to hearing the earth bellow or maybe that’s just a trip induced thing I remember ages ago. That’s how I’d describe it.
Depends on how geologically active your area is. The brain gets temporarily hyperconnected when people trip. Look up the hum phenomenon too. Where in some areas people hear a persistent hum without any obvious external explanation.
It's crazy to think Science has advanced so much that we can now recreate extinct sounds!
It's a nice hypothesis but tbh when it comes to sounds there is wide range of speculation, this year there was a very complex larynx discovery found in a pinacosaurus the authors even describe that it's almost as developed as most birds so that proves any non avian dinosaur could have this organ and therefore allow for a wider range of sounds than just rumbles and growls...not to mention even cassowaries and crocodiles who are used as comparison can make some really loud sounds too
Is this the Tyrannosaurus video you're talking about? czcams.com/users/shortsTi3VHk2j2Sc?feature=share4
That sounds absolutely terrifying, I would hate to hear that anywhere let alone in the night.
ever heard an emu vocalize?
Modern birds are still considered part of the clade dinosauria, so technically, this is a dinosaur we're listening to.
Those scientists are idiots and they are wrong birds are NOT dinosaurs.
Of course. Birds were a type of dinosaur, and sadly the only ones to survive.
@@ComsiCaterpillar No they are NOT dinosaurs just related to them albeit distantly.
@@Mario87456birds are dinosaurs, why do you think we talk about the extinction of “non-avian dinosaurs”?
@@noneed4sleep64 Because idiots scientists made up that term that’s why.
....That bird hangs around construction sites. I can hear the different drills, saws, and hammers it has witnessed and is mimicking. That little starling is incredible. 🥰
Well, as it's an avian dinosaur sitting on your arm, the answer is obviously "yes".
This is a starling, they're amazing mimics of all sorts of sounds. The video is slowed, pitched and given reverb to make it sound more dinosaur-like until about the 1:00 mark. Hope this clears things up for some people :)
i love ur pfp, yeenas are the most underrated & adorable animals
Good catch about the speed!
Was thinking the same thing
Well birds *are* dinosaurs
Figured as much. Good ear!
I mean birds are technically dinosaurs. Who knows, he may have the whole prehistoric dino vocal range too. Based on what scientists know about dinosaurs and their possible calls so far, it sounds kinda possible too. That’s super cool!
Because people keep coming here to argue and tell me birds aren’t actually dinosaurs, I invite you to google “are birds dinosaurs?” And see the results.
Maybe these sounds are passed down hen to chicks, generation after generation, since the dawn of creation. 😅❤
Birds have always been birds, and dinosaurs have always been dinosaurs. There is no fossil evidence of a species becoming another species.
Don’t forget crocs and turtles and sharks
@@BOBAFETT25882 sharks are incredible because they’ve existed since before trees! I always find that fact so fascinating. It’s also incredible how little crocodilians have changed in millions of years, and they really teach us so much about how dinosaurs lived. Super duper cool!
@bobafett742 those all pre date dinosaurs
I love starlings. I know they are considered an invasive species where I live. But they are awesome birds. And they have such amazing mimicry skills.
That’s scaring the tish out of me just thinking about being lost in Jurassic Park and hearing those sounds.
Starling. Not native to the U.S. but believed to have accidentally been brought over from Europe. I don't know the details. I love watching them especially in the fall in large groups foraging for food. Incredible those sounds are so intricate and varied. Such a huge repertoire of sounds. Incredible. Birds just aren't given credit for how intelligent they really are.
It's weird to think they're capable of arguably more impressive sounds and mimicry than parrots are, considering they're just normal garden and street birds here like sparrows or pigeons, lol.
The story of how sterlings in several other invasive species of birds got started is basically. Some idiot released a bunch of different ones in Central Park in New York City way back years ago. This of course cause competition with native species and some of those don't exist anymore.
Heh…it wasn’t an accident. It was some idiots who wanted all of the birds mentioned in Shakespeare here in the States and they were too successful. Now they pay the price for human stupidity because they have no protections like native birds do.
@@MostlyInterestingIt’s really sad, both for the native species, and for these incredibly smart birds who can’t help that their ancestors were released into the wrong environment. 😢
@@MostlyInteresting There were multiple releases of starlings in the 19th Century but apparently the 1890 Central Park release by Eugene Schieffelin was the first that resulted in a successful nesting colony. Accidental or intentional releases of non-native animals have caused ecological nightmares around the world.
As a former dinosaur I can confirm this is how we sound
thank you
Because of the law of monophyly, you can't just be a former dinosaur... you're still a dinosaur today. 🙂😇
@@rocketsfan6116 Shhh they can't know!!
Hehe
nice to know a blob of oil has a has an internet connection
0:24 the bird sounds like me when I get constipation
My god she can even mimic cars starting lol
Starlings are such cool birds. You'd never think that such a little guy could make such mesmerizing, otherworldly noises.
They’re an invasive species here in the states and horrible for the echo system.
To be fair , the video was slowed down quite a bit so the audio sounds far more terrifying and deep , but it's still so sick that all these crazy alien sounds are coming from a beautiful creature on Earth
Also though, the ancestors of this bird probably did sound like a slowed down, deeper version of it. Given how much larger they were it might even be more accurate
hey, was just wondering how u can tell if a video is slowed down?
@@hrinn you can just tell i mean cmon
@@hrinnthe birds movements seem slow mo, and Im pretty sure it goes back to normal at 0:59
@@hrinnlook how slow the bird’s eyelids moves when it blinks
What an incredibly talented bird!!♥️♥️
The coolest thing about birds like this and a lyre bird is they can teach each other the same sounds, so a whole flock can learn to sound like all kinds of things, and they will learn loud sounds faster generally, cause y'know...mating calls
Slowed-down speed or not, the vocals of this bird are absolutely BREATHtaking. The shivers sent down my spine are absolutely welcome. He deserves a goodie bowl for that.🐦🥜
lmao i just realised i was watching at 1.5x
@@siliconhawk9293 😂😂
I think this might be a medical concern..
You weird
To be fair he's just a fraction the size of a dinosaur, another sounds are going to be wayyy higher in frequency. Imagine him 50x bigger 😉
This was played in a slower speed than it was recorded.
That way we could really hear and appreciate the variety of sounds.
It’s VERY cool and incredibly interesting!!
Thank you !!
I do not think so
You can see , the vibration, movement, all normal speed

The OP has seen my comment and did not say I was wrong.
@@Stopstaring101the op has liked every comment on this post. That doesn't mean he agreed with what you said,or even read it in full. Being polite is an option also. The bird's movements looked natural to me. Doesn't look slowed down at all.
@@riddikulus1432You’re wrong. Birds don’t take a second to blink and the movement of the feathers is way to slow to be at normal speed, not to mention the drawn out echo-ey sound made when audio is slowed down.
Not to mention the heavy reverb that has been added. Reverb makes everything sound cooler.
What beautiful songs this bird sings!
I've never heard a bird with so many different sounds before.. that's crazy!! 😲
Anything with that respiratory system would be able to make all manner of astonishing sounds, and we’ve found trace evidence for some of those structures on dinosaur bones, so there’s a distinct possibility that they had the capacity for all manner of complex vocalizations.
Are you suggesting t rexes could talk?!
That's so badass
He's saying they had the ability to make sound, like every other animal ever.......
@@rodrigovillegas2263 unlikely, cause they were so big they would have produced very low frequency noises, but folks have done simulations of what they may have sounded like, if you feel like looking into it.
@@user-qg6cz2gr9w i'm saying many of the fossils we've found have had the muscle attachment points that appear to be analogous to the multi chamber avian respiratory system, which is what provides birds with the ability to make so many unique noises, implying that dinosaurs may have had the potential for a similar range of vocalizations.
I need to create a 10-hour version of this with overlapping, random bits of the same layered sound. I’ve not heard these beautiful sounds before and I regularly have forrest soundtracks playing in the background while I work, read, and chill. Lovely bird!
Add Great tailed grackles and sign me up.

Starlings are so amazing in the looks and vocals prowls. ❤🎉😊
The bird should audition for British Got Talent.
I'd love if more media used slowed-down birdcalls as their dinosaur noises. It sounds so alien; I love it!
Sounds like blue whale 🤔
Who needs a sound machine for the next Jurrasic movie when you have a bird that can imitate various dinosaur species? 😊
He does sound pre-historic! My goodness ❤
So basically this bird is the Michael Winslow of the animal kingdom.
Who would ever imagine a Starling could make such authentic sounds like this!?
Incredible
absolutely stunning! ❤
Yes, amazing Starling 👏
I think this is what the starling thinks an entire forest sounds like today :) I can hear cats, several different species of bird calls (also a woodpecker pecking), a deer and sounds that might just be animals moving through vegetation.
And a truck backing up
And an elephant at one point 😂
Heard a car alarm, a washer/dryer, even sounded like he started a car and revved the engine bit.
Exactly.
@@kenmorris8219 Are you trying to tell me in a round abound way that I am imagining hearing sounds?
No, it's what this particular bird sounds like!
Quite a mimic!
I love to watch these guys showing off their chops in the morning. This guy could pull any lady starling he wanted to.
Birds are cool. They make unique sounds if you pay attention. This one deserves to be in a studio for movies.
Cool.
And quite often delicious!
It’s more likely that dinosaurs made similar sounds to that of birds than the roars we hear in movies.
Imagine that thing following you around in the woods... you would think that the whole forest was after you !!!
Imagine teaching birds how to mimic dinosaur noises and bringing your friends over to trip balls
This totally freaked my cats out. Like they inherited an instinctual hyper awareness for those sounds. 🦖 🦕
I have one too, found him as a baby and he's been the best pet ever, lol. He whistles, talks in both my voice and my husband's voice, calls our dog and bosses him around, makes the squeaky door noise, etc. He's been so much fun :D
How much trouble is he? How do you care for him, how much attention does he need, etc? I’m interested
@@isaiahhallett9871 He's actually very good, extremely well behaved. We have a big cage for him that he stays in when we're not home or busy doing things around the house. But we try to let him out for a little while most days of the week for about a half hour to an hour. He spends 95% of his out of cage/free flight time on my shoulder, arm or hand, and will literally follow me around the kitchen and mudroom. He's very friendly, social, and enjoys being around people. His first year he was a little more curious, and occasionally explored a little more, but now he prefers to stay in the 2 rooms closest to his cage. Unlike our dogs, he doesn't wander around our house or go places we preferred him not to, he seems to stay in his "zone". We didn't train him to do that, he just did it naturally. We feed him a mix of Blue Buffalo high protein cat food and a special dog food made from insects (for dogs with food sensitivities). I also give him dried soldier fly larva, meal worms, and fresh fruit and vegetables each day. Treats I give him dried river shrimp, tuna, eggs. I've never had another pet bird before for comparison, but I imagine he's a lot like a regular pet bird, perhaps even easier in a lot of ways. These birds can't really hurt or bite you, they sometimes poke and peck at you, but not in a mean way, that's just how they explore, but that seems to be a first year thing mainly. They don't really like getting "pet", but they love to be close and hang out on your shoulder, hand, lap, etc. Hope that helps!
My Grandfather had wild one he called Ragtag since he looked that way at the beginning. He came around firstly with assorted families, then later just by himself for a few years, then he stopped visiting after about 15 years. He too made some wild noises.
lol imagine you’re camping in the forest with your tent and in the middle of the night this little birds sits on a nearby tree making these sounds.
