No artificial colour can truly match that of a kingfisher. Like some hummingbirds, bee-eaters, sunbirds and others, they're iridescent. Their feathers refract light like a prism. When they flit out over the water and the sun's light hits them at just the right angle they're like a living fireworks display. They sear your retinas like burning magnesium, they sparkle over the water and they disappear down the river with a shrill shriek and a trail of blue and red. The Halcyon, the King of Birds.

I found myself quietly cheering every time it came up with a fish and feeling dismayed/disappointed every time it didn’t, and I thought to myself “…is this how it feels to watch sports?” So that was the closest I ever got to understanding sports fans lol watching a kingfisher dive for fish

that was the biggest surprise; altho it was fairly obvious right at the start of the video. these sets are AMAZING.

[@QuartetofCrickets149]

To be fair, the lego models sort of get an excuse for being harder to make. Like, you have to really think about what pieces go together properly to end up coming out looking like these animals, and the result isn't always going to be perfect. Of course they still could've done better with some of these, like the shark fins that Clint put on "backwards". He shouldn't have needed to put them on "backwords" because they should've been in that direction to begin with. But overall, designing lego builds for animals has to be a lot more challenging than doing a little bit of research and creating battle stories for animals.

[@peterdeane4490]

I bit over 20 years ago, my spouse and I bought a small existing bookstore. The day we took over the store, there was a kingfisher (belted, not common) perched on a power line over the street in front. We decided at that moment to named the store "Kingfisher Used Books". In February of this year, we closed the store and retired. A friend of mine commemorated the event by giving me a Lego Kingfisher set. I haven't put it together yet, due to the upheaval of trying to rehouse the accumulated flotsam of a nearly 3000 square foot business, but I was happy to see that you consider it to be fairly accurate. I look forward to settling down with it when we manage to unearth the dining table.

[@ElMoppo1]

Lego has a lot of logistical reasons for colour choices sometimes. The colours used in one set are often influenced by other sets in production, so if there's not enough other sets that require those pieces in orange, they might just chose another colour instead of starting a new production run of that piece in that colour, as that's an extra cost to add to production. Also, in the LEGO Friends series, there was recently a botanical greenhouse set that included an Amorphophallus titanum, so in name at least, that is the first phallus officially produced by LEGO that I'm aware of. Their Creator series Tiger, on the other hand, has the first LEGO set with an anus!

[@Nick_Larking]

I was looking at the tiger but its kinda weak compared to pretty much all other animal sets.

[@JessFirefox]

I have the tiger set

[@natbarmore]

Orange or red-orange for the feet would’ve required 3 recolored pieces, but the cattle horns and bar holders with clips already are produced in red, so then the only recolor would’ve been the t-piece, and they had to recolor that anyway to get tan. I wonder if they have some upcoming sets that use the t-piece in tan, and that was the reason/compromise? Or if someone decided that Lego tan was closer than Lego red for the kingfisher feet? (I don’t see it, but maybe someone would think that.) Or if they just goofed?

Fun Elytra Fact! The Minecraft community has a major feud about how to pronounce the word Elytra. A camp defends their pronounciation by claiming that biologists pronounce it their way. Now I've asked my local biologists but they're wormheads and otter people, and Dutch, so not very much help. So I'm oh so very glad Clint unwittingly sides with the OBJECTIVELY CORRECT way of pronouncing Elytra.

countershading also has another benefit when seen from side-on-- it obscures the shadows which the creature casts on its own body making it all appear to be one uniform color (i.e. the dark part in bright light and the bright part in low light are perceived as the same color to the eye). This makes its overall shape more difficult to discern.

[@ninavale.]

I think the reason the bottom in the butterfly is not as detailed/realstic is bc these, very much like the art-piece and architecture series legos, are the kind you put on a shelf or in a glass case to be on display from the more "pretty" angle. Which in butterlfies tends to be the upper part of the wings where they have colour, and ofc it's when they've got their wings spread.

You literally hit on all of my favorite things through your videos. Birds, fish, legos, dinosaurs, and general animal knowledge. Top tier!

[@krysmun]

Correction: The antlers of moose and Deer *ARE* Alive, at least until they're shed. horns do indeed have a Living Core that *Grows* the dead keratinous horn around it, but Antlers differ in that it isn't Keratin that grows on their surface, but Skin & Fur. You can even see when they near the Yearly shedding period, the Skin & Fur does indeed start to die and peel off, leading up to when the entire bony antler structure breaks off and will eventually start to grow back the following year. but as they're growing, they're entirely and completely alive, Fuzzy, warm to the touch, and completely full of Blood, which circulates throughout the Antler to keep it growing. The only reason some deer/moose/Cervid skulls still have antlers is that the animal was likely killed only while the Antlers were still growing or at least just before they began to shed.

Combining all the little details hidden away in lego sets with analysis of how they translate to the little details of the real animals is such a genius idea.

I was in the middle of building the Kingfisher when you mentioned this video in another one. And while I'm a botanist, the eyes bugged me in the picture on the box too! So glad to have seen your solution for that issue, will apply it when I'm at that step!

That’s like an entire mortgage’s worth of legos.

I love that the Unguligrade demonstration is a freeze-frame of you jumping

just gonna add my two cents as an artist: I assume that the reason for weirdly tan feet is due to colour blocking, meaning that if you were to make more realistically reddish, it would blend into orange of the belly. personally, I would have opted for black and called it a juvenile bird 😅

I loved this video. Definitely would love to see more Lego videos
