[@stevethea5250]

@Nicholas Olesen I wore contacts for years, although I don't anymore. It can take a while to get used to putting them in your eye, but the trick is to not place it directly on your pupil. You will find that very difficult. When putting them don't use a mirror. Don't need it. Just lean over the surface of where ever you are, use your other hand to open top and bottom eyelids, look to the left or right and put the contact on the opposite corner on the white of the eye. Then use your finger to move it around the eye area so it's not sticking, then position it in the right spot. When removing them just do the same thing.

@Omar20v i believe there's a degree of error for sure, but if you think this all popped up 4000 years ago, you're nuts.

You can believe both, study your own holy book, I did.

@Omar20v I'm constantly updating and changing my knowledge base and i dont hold firm to any idea too strongly in light of evidence. The earth was created on the 6th "day" of creation, a day is defined by one roughly 24-hour rotation of the earth, how could 5 previous "days" exist if there was no heavens or earth to constitute a day at all?

@@CinematicSeriesGaming True--I wouldn't be able to resist a hug if a giant, feathery T-rex waddled up to me, frantically waving its tiny arms while calling out with a low murmur that sounds like either purring or a muffled evil laugh... all while its neck pouch bloats like a toad.

[@AllosaurusJP3]

@@mryellow4633 i know its a joke but sadly feathered t.rex is already debunked... they found fossillised scaly skin impressions of it and concluded that its simply to big to be fully feathered! its body temprature would get to high if it had feathers this is why giant mammals of today also lose their furr when they get to massive sized(elephants, hippos, rhinos) but hey atleast we still have the hawk look alike feathered raptors!😅

[@AllosaurusJP3]

@@mryellow4633 also they concluded large theropod dinosaurs did not roar or make bird like sounds but rather made low rumbling and hissing sounds like alligators do(forgot how they found this out youll have to google it if you wanna know more about it) herbivores like hadrosaurs sounded more like a trombone or something bc of their hollow crest on top of their head! they were REALLY loud

[@RowdyBoy82]

They're SO CUTE! I love them! The chirping, hopping, and wing displays are just adorable!

Those birds have some awesome beats by dre headphones on

How the heck BBC gets this beautiful images?

[@tiajoseph7309]

Very expensive cameras.

[@toothpaste7549]

and probably really good zoom, i doubt birds like that would be comfortable with a person that close

[@nitin-pillai]

That bird is a paid actor.

They actually made documentaries and behind the hunt clips on KZbin. Check it out.

These birds have an ‘energetic’ look about them and the male’s display of bond reaffirmation is cool. A beautiful clip.

Birds are evolving from wooden sticks to concrete

[@yashpandey2018]

@RICHIESCO12 in next 4 4 million years they will be using reinforced concrete.

[@faisalparadox8076]

[@Cingiturvin]

After so many years they will build houses and evolve

[@HUNarutofan19]

Then eventually they'll build toilets and stop pooping on our cars and sidewalks, the future looks pretty hopeful

[@mistergrieves]

Look up weaver birds.

[@shaneh1003]

I've always been jealous of the camera crews.. Not for what they're filming, but for the magical ancient soul-filled places they get to experience in their life's time. They'll always be there now and forever.

[@js66613]

These clips are all wonderfully captured and have great narration, and I'm really glad they're for free too. Well done to the team that gives us all these moments.

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

That is a gorgeous area. I *love* creeks like that.

It is so amazing to wonder about the life in the forest where the living being can just be in the heart of mother nature and do their role in the ecosystem. The harmony and synchrony is absolutely phenomenal
