Imagine an America teeming with native parrots, flocks of pigeons so large that they literally darkened out the sky, and ferocious apex predators capable of mauling a human to death before he even knew he was being stalked ... This description might sound nothing like modern day America, with its concrete jungles and urban sprawl, but if you were lucky enough to have lived in pre-colonial North America, then what I just described would be your reality. But since we don't live in pre-colonial America, I decided to make a list of America's lost birds, the bird species of North America that humans have driven extinct.

Genuinely incredible content. You deserve much more popularity and I feel like you’ll get it at this rate!

@21stCenturyNature Год назад

Thank you so much! It’s comments like this that make me making these videos pay off.

I heard and saw an ivory-billed woodpecker in the summer of 2018 which was not far from the Choctawhatchee River.

I disagree with how some of the information was portrayed about European settlers being one of the worst causes of mass extinction upon arrival in the Americas. When Natives first came to across America through the Berring Strait, their arrival was a greater cause for ecological destruction. Over 95% of North AND South America's Megafauna were completely wiped out as a consequence. I suppose it's trendy to shit on the United States of America as a civilization as of lately, but America has been the leader of conservation efforts across the globe. No other country has put even a fraction of the funding and efforts into saving global species than the U.S. Does it suck that we caused the extinction of a few species along the way? Of course! I just don't understand that while Asia is causing more ecological stresses through over-fishing, pollution, or poaching of local and global species around the world (with zero fucks given), America is once again singled out as the bad guys even though they've done the best job of bringing back species from the brink of extinction around the entire globe.

In the summer of 2018, I heard and saw an ivory-billed woodpecker. It was in a woodlot next to a lake at Johnny Henderson Park which is not far from the Choctawhatchee River.

What about the little Bachman's Warbler? It formerly was found in the SE United States.

You've heard of the linneaus's prairie chicken, which is what the heath hen is also known as, there are four known species of prairie chicken, prairie chickens are not actually chickens despite their name, prairie chickens are actually grouse, the †linneaus's prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido) is considered the most basal of the four prairie chicken species, then followed by the currently living attwater's prairie chicken (Tympanuchus attwateri), with the most recent split being between the lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) and the greater prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pinnatus), the closest living relatives of the prairie chickens (genus Tympanuchus) are the sage grouse (genus Centrocercus).

How do we view ourselves as a species of this planet? We pursue something that is so numerous to the point that we can't find them anymore. Currently everywhere you go there is over development of land. Urbanization is the greatest threat to natural habitat (and eventually us) that has ever faced our world. Mark my word!!

So damn sad but very interesting

@unclebo5672 Год назад

I've seen one in mobile Al.

It would be so cool to see a great auk in our time. Sadly humans exploited them 😢

@markr.1984 Год назад

The Carolina Parakeet was not hunted in the traditional sense for food. Fruit orchard owners shot thousands due to them eating fruit. And local bounties were put on their heads in areas where agriculture was largely fruit. The video makers ignorantly overlook this or didn't research enough.

@jamessparkman6604 Год назад

I think resurrecting extinct birds that are native to America is a great idea, but there must be an enforcement rule in place you will not hunt them to extinction a second time because destroying the cloning technology will destroy any chance of them coming to many and because, even though we had a second chance at seeing these birds again, we need to be more careful about how we treat the environment. Otherwise we may not be so lucky next time because people will get the idea that they can hunt as many things as they want without consequences

I just realized this... But i dont hear song birds. Has silent spring come true or what?

@hoobadooba2000 Год назад

Pretty sure the ivory billed woodpeckers still around

@thomasnaylor2162 Год назад

I belive, the ivory bill is extremely close to extinction, however I may have one living on my land, but I have no concert proof as of yet., no illusions with this statement. , tantalizing sighting.

Ivory-Billed Woodpecker -- If you've seen one you've seen them all. Daniel

Don't encourage people to "do a Jurrasic Park," it's just too big of a risk. When are we getting rid of domesticated predators, the worst ecological pests only next to our own species?
