Discovered your channel a few days ago and I love your narration! I learned about bird olfaction through some of Jennifer Ackerman's books (can't remember which one off the top of my head) and through following the Tairoa royal albatross cams. I'd be interested in seeing about birds we know DON'T have a good sense of smell too, though I imagine it's hard to be 100% sure since it's probably harder to check for a negative. From what I vaguely remember, raptors don't have super good smell, for example, but I could be wrong. Thanks for the vids :D

Another interesting subject! Have you done one one vision? I always think of Black Vultures. 👍

[@allthingsbirdie]

I haven't yet but that's a great idea, thank you!

Thank you for this video! What are your thoughts on the way (and why) some birds scrape their beaks on tree branches after noticing a human in the area? Would love to see a video of this with examples and various theories.

I really appreciate this channel! Any chance you could do a video on the various kiwi species? Or just a general overview of the kiwi?

[@allthingsbirdie]

Thanks so much! ...and thank you for the suggestion- the kiwi is a fascinating bird!
