[@smartereveryday]

I hope you enjoyed my cornses.

[@emiliofernandez7117]

SmarterEveryDay do you butter your cornses?

[@bernardomotard]

SmarterEveryDay we love us some buttered cornses!

[@AlthenaLuna]

Eh, I hope they get better. That IS a good looking melon, though!

[@jefffearnow]

SmarterEveryDay Your cornses are tricksy.... tricksy buttered cornses, precious!

[@zeppie_]

The plural of corn is actually corni (or cornopedes, both are correct)

[@TierZoo]

Kinda OP that such a powerful movement option like flight only has a few frames of startup lag

[@carazy123_]

TierZoo my man; your channel is awesome and is the most creative channel premise that I’ve ever seen

[@drink15]

It’s balanced because of the low armor and HP.

[@nathanielbrill1523]

Of course you'd be here, gathering data for other players I see. So do you think flight requires a certain base stat of intelligence that's pretty decent, or that the intelligence stat and the instinctual knowledge that governs this cover different areas?

[@Nevir202]

drink15 I agree, birds are the ultimate evasion classes, but with just a few HP loss their flight stops working and then they’re.... Well... Sitting ducks. 🤣

[@SJNaka101]

Do a video on the different youtuber specs of the human class

[@user-mo2dz1zs1l]

I'm a high school student in Korea. I was, like most of students in my age, fed up with all the pressure and couldn't find any reason why i'm studying. I want you to know that your video lit up a candle. It showed me the science I'm studying is not caged in textbooks, but out there alive.And astonishingly beautiful, like this adorable bird. Thank you for sharing this!

[@smartereveryday]

joker31 4 beautiful isn't it?

[@davemarx7856]

You should watch this Hindi film called "Three Idiots"

[@anomaly1978]

joker31 4 I constantly share these with my family.

[@pkrishna1065]

[@davemarx7856]

Krishna Satwik P Oh man you're right. I'm so sorry. Sincerely, if I can find it I'll post it proper. But I'll be deleting that link now. Thank you for letting me know.

[@RareEarthSeries]

Excellent take-off. Well done scared bird.

[@user-ht3tp3uj4v]

I could never do that as well... or at all.

[@JoseAlfonsoChavez]

1:53 My jaw dropped. This was amazing! That lift off was so majestic! Thank you for showing us the small things in nature to appreciate them!

[@GameDr04]

This. This is why I watch this channel and other science communication channels. The organic excitement about the littlest things is apparent and magnetic; even down to the garden and the melon.

[@aznsketcher]

Alexander Danehy>>> well said!

[@RCP-1136]

Alexander Danehy especially the melon♥️

[@Bennnnism]

I totally agree. Seeing what genuinely excites him makes him so relatable and so much fun to watch.

[@deshawn994]

That melon part hahaha. How did I miss this video?

[@RydalS]

2:00 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

[@jimsvideos7201]

Imagine that story becoming lore in the bird community: "Don't go near his place!" "Why not? Will he eat you?" "No, he'll put you in a movie without even mentioning residuals!"

[@mugies]

I like your thinking Jim

[@jimsvideos7201]

Not a peep about residuals, dang it.

[@toobusytocreateaname]

Jim's videos +

[@raa6504]

Jim's videos that is exactly what will happen if you do that with a crow or a raven.

[@dtiydr]

You heard the twittering from it less 1/4 second after it flew away? That was a warning that there were something very dangerous at this vicinity.

[@Benzy670]

Phantom cameras never cease to blow my mind -- something so common as a bird taking off is so friggin' cool!! Imagine what people of the past would think about seeing things like this. They'd lose their minds! I really appreciate getting to witness these slow-motion perspectives that billions of people before us never had the opportunity to see.

[@bassamsiraj2175]

Justin all that for free thanks to Destin! 😊

[@RustyDust101]

I'd believe Leonardo da Vinci would first be really really interested in the camera itsself, but he'd probably get it very quickly. And then he'd design a better wing from scratch...

[@zatchidz]

More precisely, 100 billion people lived on earth without witnessing this.

[@FloridaFlying]

You should do a slowmo of a bird eating seeds

[@slaphappysmokey1]

YES!! I watch my birds eating seeds, and I do NOT understand what they get out of it except a mess from the hulls!

[@TheCls63]

*SPOILER* they open their mouth to eat it

[@FloridaFlying]

You know it would be cool to see it up close and slow

[@janeilnold5863]

I second this! It would be cool to do something like Darwin did and get several types of nut and seed eaters to see how they shell their food. Some bird beaks are perfectly evolved to open things up. It will be so neat to see all that work frame by frame.

[@randomslomo1875]

YES

[@jchandler]

This is an awesome video! I always enjoy your Instagram posts and stories, and the Phantom footage was exceptional, as usual. These observations are why I so enjoy your content. Perspective makes all the difference.

[@solidacid1337]

I've never been able to get that close to a bird, those facial feathers are just beautiful. And the way the wind flows through the wings in only one direction. No doubt the cutest VTOL I've seen in a long time :3

[@smartereveryday]

DID YOU LIKE MY MELON? Also, I post fun little daily things on Instagram. Here's the link (WARNING: Sometimes I post melons) instagram.com/smartereveryday/

[@CentralNintendo1]

It seems that his leg position affects his tail p[ostion. The bone structure might cause -> stretched legs = tail down ... and closed legs = tail up

[@smartereveryday]

YOU LIKE MY MELON. I hope you clicked the bell this time.

[@thedon1262]

Great video and awesome footage thanks for sharing it and have a nice day :D

[@thedon1262]

SmarterEveryDay maby you can make an smarter every day garden video :D like putting differend crops together so they can benefit from eage other and how photosynthesis works.

[@electronicsNmore]

Those HS cameras are great. They make a video that would be just "so-so" into something good.

[@dangermills4165]

I love your curiosity and your enthusiasm at learning new things. Keep up the great work!

[@ShainAndrews]

Bird is probably tweeting about this already.

[@Cheesus-Sliced]

"some horrible man grabbed me and shoved me in front of cameras today #CrushThePatriarchy #Patreon"

[@brennangleason2997]

@Shain Andrews I hate that pun so much.

[@Nob0dy420]

That was actually awesome 🙂.

[@adanmartinezpiano]

Nobody could have said it better.

[@rebecamugwort862]

I ain’t never done nothing to Nobody, no time.

[@joker102877]

Exactly what I was going to say, so instead I liked your comment. :D I love all of Destin's videos. And I loved the cornses, LOL.

[@rafiqulhaque1189]

You are one amazing educator. Hats off to you.

[@MrAngryGnome]

Destin, you are one of the coolest guys on the internet. Not only are you wicked smart but you are able to explain complex concepts that anyone can understand. You exude a child-like wonder and fascination while at the same time being an awesomely devoted father and husband to your family.

[@BryanRice800]

Don't need to go too in-depth to make a great video, this is one of the best videos I've seen.

[@peetahuynh]

The bird will come back to eat your sunflowers

[@bentackett6299]

He earned it!!

[@milkandcookyz]

Loved having just a short fun video thrown into the mix. Keep up the good work Destin. We need more people in the world like you.

[@Beevreeter]

Great video man - I just love your curiosity about the world and your enthusiasm in sharing your discoveries! Good work! (And great garden too!)

[@CodyWhitlock]

Birds do have 10 primary feathers, the 10th is small and called the Axial feather. Fun fact

[@spruce020]

This bird is an immature chipping sparrow and it is in the group of birds called the 9-primaried osccines. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-primaried_oscine

Next, get some slow motion footage of how fast I click your video thumbnail.

[@EnzoDraws]

I enjoyed your cornses.

[@KMURPH311]

Destin, just needed to let you know that you are one of the few reasons I watch KZbin. Your natural curiously and thirst for knowledge is refreshing and inspiring to so many. Kudos and thank you for making it fun.

Thank you so much for this little video!

[@ellymaschinowrinn8609]

Thanks, Destin! My kiddos and I love watching your videos. Short but sweet. 😊

[@Raythe]

the only youtube person to ever have "oneshot" at footage and NAILS it nearly perfect. you sir, have earned my jealousy. but then again, experience is something you have in abundance, and just an all around great guy. Thanks for sharing. the discovery of new information has first hand has inspired many people through out the ages. nothing is quite like learning things first hand.

[@Cheesus-Sliced]

I wouldnt say it was perfect, would have been better if his hand was a little lower and opened flatter but it was still really cool. could have caught another wingstroke before it left frame

[@InvntdXNEWROMAN]

Yeah, he definitely should have had his hand much lower to get one or two more wing flaps.

[@tomschang2225]

Tom Scott also does one takes, and I would say both he and Destin have in common a huge curiosity, although the way they present it it is very different. I subscribe to both, always enjoy learning something new :)

[@GrouchyGander]

"Well, enough about the bird. Wanna see my garden?" Oh my goshawk, you're such a child and I love it.

[@manoskallis3366]

Loved that video. Simple yet interesting. Thanks Destin.

[@patricksmith3556]

Thank you! I subscribed recently, but have been enjoying your videos for quite a while now. I especially enjoyed this one. I've caught and released a few birds in the past, as well as "adopting", nursing, then releasing an injured blue jay, a cardinal, and a small handful of "big brown bats" as they're called. Two of the birds each had broken legs; and one robin chick was neglected after the nest fell from its tree... The bats usually got caught in an old chimney flue and just got lost for a day or two in the basement trying to find their way back outside again. Anyway- The take-off always happened so fast when I took them outside and released them back into the wild. Thanks a lot for this video. The take-off has fascinated me for years. It was really awesome seeing it in slow-mo. It's amazing just how much happens in that first second or two of flight. (I used to build "peanut scale" flying model airplanes and ornithopters as a teen... I'm feeling the urge again!) I love your videos- keep it up please! Thank you! :)

[@tinkeringtyler8892]

Could you do a slow motion of a chameleon changing its colour? plz

[@Sparrow420]

a chameleon doesn't change color on the spot, they take a while afaik now an octopus(or is it a squid in english?) is something you're gonna wanna check out.

[@N-Scale]

Seeing nearly anything in slow mo is just plain cool. Mike

[@befer]

you're not supposed to sign a comment, wtf. Your name is already there. above your sentence

[@bowtiebiker]

I was almost in tears over the stunning beauty of such a seemingly simple, everyday thing. Being able to see how the feathers move in each direction so perfectly and so fast. To me, true science comes from intelligent design. These fine details of motion and precision in a split second are breathtaking! Thank you for taking care not to harm the bird and sharing this beautiful moment.

[@CheeseWithMold]

Watching Destin get so excited about showing his plants is super cute.

[@philswede]

Love simple videos:) Nice melon!

[@TheWhiteWolf_bf2lm1]

[@Patroclus]

This is why im subscribed and LOVE your channel

[@daniilzhuravlev1439]

Thank you for posting in 60fps! Love your work!

[@AbdicateDotNet]

Awesome videos! Just some advise: pray against the nail biting and plant your corn in four rows instead of two long ones. They need to cross pollinate with each other and it's harder with only two rows. My dad and I learned this after planing a square large "box" of corn. We had so many ears, I didn't plant the next year. Just FYI. :) God bless.

[@rohinitailor5586]

No one: Literally no one: Destin: do u wanna see my garden? 3:35

[@freyhofer]

What garden it's a f field

[@philippelongval2357]

This is so beautiful. Thank you.

[@paulchubbuck]

That was beautiful, Destin. That moment after the hop when he opens his wings is thrilling. Love your work. Keep it up!

[@toddchamberlain6507]

I like how unscripted and genuinely fascinated you are here. Of course, my favorite video is your eclipse video... we drove nearly 3,000 KM from Saskatchewan to Casper Wyoming and back to witness that eclipse, and I just LOVED your video and photos you got... as well as how genuinely fascinated you where there too.

[@RealLuckless]

A suggestion for next year: Plant your corn in a square block instead of a long row. It should cross pollinate better, and give you a higher yield. (It also shades more of the soil and keeps soil in the middle of the crop from drying out as badly.) Also curious on the row spacing down where you are. I've always seen corn rows planted on a spacing that looks closer together than what you have there. And finally, I hope you do a full video later in the fall on how your gardening went. Because who doesn't love food growing?

[@bemusedalligator]

the real question is can we get fast motion crop growth to go with all the slow motion other stuff?

[@RealLuckless]

Man, a full season crop-time lapse would be an awesome project.

[@Georgewin1er]

You always inspire a sense of awe. Thank you.

[@randfur]

You are precious. Thanks for capturing and sharing that bit of nature's beauty.

[@SIMKINETICS]

I once trapped a hummingbird in a soft towel to rescue him from a garage he couldn't find his way out from. When I let him go, I was careful to count off a second verbally as I watched him fly away; he went straight, so I could see that he covered about twenty meters from a 'standing' start in one second. His frightened escape likely made him exceptionally fast. Sure, hummingbirds fly fast, but I was amazed by the *acceleration!* Destin, could you make a similar two-camera slo-mo video that allows take-off & measured acceleration of a released hummingbird?

[@fallinginthed33p]

SIMKINETICS I wonder if their brains are cushioned to resist such strong acceleration.

[@SIMKINETICS]

raboox9 Some comparative values in Physics (Mechanics) do not scale in a linear manner. The impact pressures between a small mass brain & skull are inversely proportional to area while brain mass is proportional to volume, so smaller objects like these experience lower values of force than the familiar human brain-case. Hummingbirds likely tolerate much higher accelerations throughout their anatomy than we do. To give you an idea of this non-linearity, there's a YT video of a cat falling 200 feet onto pavement, then walking away; his impact velocity exceeded 60 mph. Bugs splattering on your windshield at 60 mph may be related to their thin exoskeletal structure.

[@Markle2k]

Woodpeckers do have spongy braincases and differently structured beaks to withstand the 1000g impacts of their livelihoods. But 20 meters in 1 second is only an acceleration of about 2gs. 1 g = 9.8 m/s^2

[@SIMKINETICS]

Markle2k No. Even if the hummingbird's acceleration was constant over the 20m distance, his acceleration would need to be twice his displacement per second per second because acceleration would *average* at one-half as compared to constant velocity; so acceleration would be ~4 G's. However, the hummingbird likely hit his top speed in a fraction of a second, meaning his maximum force would be even higher than 4 G's. Regardless, the hummingbird's acceleration would likely be highest shortly after take-off, and vary afterward because aerodynamics is complex. This study could be a very instructive moment for Destin & his viewers! As for your reference to woodpeckers, I'm blown away by the fact that they don't just knock themselves unconscious! Nature is so amazing!

[@Markle2k]

Right. I always forget that 2 in front of the displacement Vf = (2s/t) - Vi Still, it's not going to be an unconsciousness-inducing acceleration even for humans that can't accelerate that fast without a motor moving them and so never evolved the physiology to compensate. That's about 75-80% of the acceleration that a top fuel dragster averages for a 0-160 kph run in 0.8 secs.

[@genius6225]

[@amdreallyfast]

~@3:10: Observe how its feet curve in as they retract. I've heard that bird feet grip as a result of the angle of their knees and ankles, and not so much as a result of conscious muscle movement. Would a birdy person weigh in on this?

[@Schradermusic]

I think you're confusing bats and birds. Bats have this because they sleep hanging upside down.

[@Drawsbirds]

Perching birds (order Passeriformes, aka songbirds) have a special tendon arrangement in their legs that causes their foot to stiffen and grip when the leg is bent. This lets them sleep perched on a branch and not fall off!

[@polomare2027]

Thank you John for your question, and Megan for your answer!

Birds really are SO COOL! I took an ornithology course in college and was immediately hooked. They can fly from the north pole to the south, have bills longer than their bodies, pull goats off cliff faces, make huge holes in wood, talk, solve complex puzzles, build homes, and oh yeah...FREAKIN FLY! What an awesome class of animals. Thanks for the great video!

[@fredbaumann4472]

Liked your melons, your cornses (ours in central PA have suffered from too much recent rainfall), and your singular melon, which you were clearly using when you took advantage of a serendipitous visit to film that lovely sparrow take-off. Loved the little mini-plumes around the eye. Thank you!

[@kellyhofer]

Also worth noting. When his wings go back up, they spread apart so there is much less continuous surface area. They separate like vent slats.

[@totally_not_a_bot]

Kelly Hofer He mentioned that, and has analyzed it in much greater detail in the past.

[@kellyhofer]

Spoonasaurus Wrex I must have missed it or didn't understand the terminology he used

He said "delaminate"
