This channel should have so many more subscribers. Its way better than Vox or Buzzfeed

[@liawatson5789]

Ligm I agree that Buzzfeed birdshit but Vox is pretty good

[@duckgoesquack4514]

people actually watch buzzfed?

[@mclovin2239]

lol second I love birds I am so happy you made this video! thanks so much!

[@johnnychang4233]

A parrot beak is a very powerful tool to be reckoned off, I know from experience how painful could be when they mistake your finger for food.

[@liawatson5789]

The cranes are so beautiful

[@puertoricanbelle1334]

I adore birds, but especially birds of prey, they're awesome 💜

[@berniegasper7303]

I dont why im getting emotional.. Tears in my eyes with this adorable animals 🤔

[@jaschabull2365]

That sandhill crane reminds me of going to Reifel Island and hand-feeding them there. Such amazing birds. Their beaks feel like tweezers plucking seeds from my palm.

[@fucknugget4718]

All the creatures shown on this show are impossibly beautiful

[@spaniard1914]

awesome video

[@rafalle7824]

I live in Indonesia, but I've never seen that hornbill before

[@jess4192]

Rafalle 782 Maybe because they're going extinct

[@Yogggi]

+Robotnic Geek there are still less than 200 in both Malaysia and Indonesia , so yea they are so rare that you need centuries to find one of them

[@steverotters3218]

Gotta leave the house smetimes

[@rizahade]

Rafalle 782 I'm an Indonesian

[@Vitx0o]

OH LOOK IT'S FREEDOM BIRD

[@scottycatman]

[@mikotheraskum2014]

[@FLXlovesick]

5:02 That crane just minding his own business or maybe wanted to buy some furniture and you kidnapped him.

[@mrcatfish1351]

People are so rude 😂

[@gixc8357]

I love eagles and hawks so much

[@amaxon9421]

I live in Panama, and i see alot of parrots. In my house is a nest, and has little green parakeets, they are called orange chinned parakeets

[@mikotheraskum2014]

Cute,now protect them

[@classicgalactica5879]

I love birds. So smart, and so beautiful. One little error, however; a large female northern bald eagle can reach 17 pounds in weight and sport an 8 foot wingspan.

[@LeonardoBenjamin]

This video is astonishing and at the same time depressing knowing that they need more attention and protection

[@averagenctzen]

There is a wonderful parrot shop in my area that I love to visit. Many of the parrots there are ‘on vacation’ while their owners are out of town. They have a beautiful hyacinth macaw there names Beautiful. He is not for sale, but a rescue. I always go to say hello to him, and I’ve even played with him before, having him up on my arm. They are beautiful creatures, it would be a shame for their species to go extinct

[@icreatedanaccountforthis1852]

That crowned crane was amazing!

[@myoclookslikeaplant.3002]

In my Country i have a Lot of Nothern born Eagle ☺

[@frankthetank1494]

They are all so cute i hope all and every bird in the world lives a happy life ☺

[@td5760]

[@MoMoKKY]

Amazing, Love it ! please use metric

[@cuzwerecute]

I live in central Wisconsin and we recently had a spike in bald eagles because of the work of our DNR programs, we also have lots of sandhill cranes do to all the large fields and lakes making it perfect breeding areas! Anyway what I’m getting at is work with your local DNR! Respect the animals and their habitat and DONATE TO THE DNR PROGRAMS BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME IN THE RIGHT PLACES

[@Aguiar412]

Too beautiful for their own good, it’s so sad :(

[@melodyjones9392]

I’ve been binge watching these videos and it seems to me that the most common reason for endangerment of a species is loss of habitat

[@q-miiproductions878]

6:50 Isn’t it repetitive to mention berries, since they’re a type of fruit?

[@waway6789]

Northern Bald Eagle: Philippine Eagle: im about end this man's whole career

[@DeVon675]

Wow the hyacinth macaw's lower beak is weirdest than I ever thought!

[@gixc8357]

[@evaperez5625]

This video makes me want to be an ornithologist even more

[@ranthetarakotu386]

I have held a Hyacinth and it is INSANE. also, they love to cuddle :3

[@Unakanon]

I came here to learn about birds. Instead I got a guilt trip.

[@lucygirl4926]

I am always amazed at these stories which say that "increased farming" is a main reason for habitat destruction. Why? Because I would think that as humans become more technologically advanced, we'd have less use for farming.

[@mikotheraskum2014]

How much time we still eat veggies,fruit and bread...

[@frieddoughpieces9662]

[@theberg2035]

the only way to fix that situation is kill off some humans am i right?

[@idie2game771]

This channel should refer to "Humans" as "Brown People" but that would sound racist...
