Bruh I came here to listen to a homework assignment, not to have an existential crisis and cry

[@lingoofthelegendary]

It's definitely a powerful story, and definitely one to learn from. Stay Legendary, Kas 💜

This is better than most videos out there and it is going to make you think and appreciate life more! And that school won't teach you!

[@CCB831]

What was the meaning of this story ? That we are looking for a species similar to us but the parrots are thought there and that there slow extinction is a great silince ?

[@wagnerbelo]

Nice! You be good! I love you!

[@lingoofthelegendary]

I'm glad you were able to enjoy it so much, and gather a higher meaning from it! Thank you, and hopefully I can continue to make more in the future.

People are like what if animals could talk. I am like, um…some can.

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

i just wanted to know how to break it down into 12 sections and now I'm crying

[@lingoofthelegendary]

I'm really glad it was able to move you in such a manner. It's such a great story, and part of the reason I started this channel was to create a visualization of it so others could enjoy it as well.

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

@@lingoofthelegendary I am still processes the reading myself, but i could not help but grow sympathetic for the parrot species as they basically provided an image of the Great Silence (death of a species) and then goes on to paint a complete picture of it occurring to them in the text. Again I may be misinterpreting and overdramatic, but I loved the harsh truth and the (although tragic) acceptance of parrots describing their movement into joining the graveyard of silence as well.

[@lingoofthelegendary]

@@pixiestxNyomouf I didn't believe you are being overdramatic at all. It's a really moving story, and you're spot on.

[@CCB831]

I do all of the voiceover work for the videos myself. This story was actually the reason I started the channel. I wanted more people to experience it 🙂

It may not be as simple as about as the statement about to make but it's basically true, dinosaurs were burped whether they walked on lander they flew in the air dinosaurs were birds

[@derekallen1652]

I've had a thing against birds forever I've always hated birds more than I ran into a person who I ended up calling me adopted father who had an African Gray and that's one of the smartest animals I've ever seen in my life he was smarter than most humans I know just absolutely crazy intelligent
