Super Slow Motion Birds

Gav and Dan go to a bird sanctuary to film birds big and small in lovely 4K slow motion.

[@bigredc222]

[@mylesleggette7520]

An art teacher I worked with once critiqued a piece by saying that it was trying to improve on nature and that's impossible to do, because nature is perfect.

This video had some stuff worthy of Planet Earth, especially the Golden Eagle.

[@hareecionelson5875]

the eagle's name should be majestic death

[@ThePrufessa]

No. Planet earth shows how they live. This Just shows them moving in slow motion. Two different subject matters.

[@ThePrufessa]

Just because it's a close up of animals doesn't make it Planet Earth material. PE records animals in their natural habitats and not in sanctuaries.

[@chintanjani]

ThePrufessa okay but getting that close up helps people understand how their anatomy functions. for example, aviation engineers can learn a lot from their slow mo flights etc and vets can learn a lot of tiny movements of their body

[@paulelliott3220]

Some truly beautiful footage Raptors flying are a thing of wonder

[@Das_Fruddster]

A few things from the video (I'm a falconer in the UK). The third eyelid is called a nictitating membrane. It's translucent, so the bird can still see when it's across the eye. Humans used to have them, and the remnants are around the tear duct of the human eye. Most birds use those primary feathers on the wings (like fingers) for micro control over direction and speed in the air. Birds are amazing, and I love working with them :)

[@JangoMango007]

Das Fruddster Yeah the woman mentioned that they could see through the membrane but I didn’t know humans use to have them or that birds used their primary feathers for micro control, very cool.

[@WaveOfDestiny]

[@MadBotanist415]

Whenever I see and hear the hummingbirds fighting, it always makes me think of a super speed lightsaber battle. This video makes me feel even more strongly about it - their beaks are little swords, love it!

It is an eagle

[@UnusGiannis]

@@mihaighilan7979 "Birds" is actually a nickname for a group of eumaniraptoran dinosaur called avialae. One of the oldest groups of dinosaur that existed 75 million years before t rex, and the only living avialan dinosaurs are the noernithies which are avialans with fused mandibles. And basal genuses of avialae contain Anchiornis and Archaeoptreyx which are avialans outside pygostylia the caudal vertebrae fusion that creates the tail fan, so these birds or avialan dinosaurs had tails. And pygostylian avialans existed 50 million years before t rex too with ones like enantiornithines which are avialans with teeth. So stop thinking of birds as a separate class, they are a group of dinosaur.

@Bill Anderson these birds were rescued because they couldn't survive on their own. Or did you miss that part at the start. Working with the birds enriches their otherwise boring and dreary time in care. Some get released some never do. But they have as rich and full lives as the carers can provide. It's all donations and volunteers. Perhaps you could donate your time and money at your local sanctuary. Those birds need you.
