Biggest kingfisher in the world! My mum has a fishpond and has to replace the fish every 2 years, thanks to the breeding pair of kookaburras that live in the gumtree above it.

@anserbauer309 2 года назад

@@marvalice3455 Not convinced toucans are a type of woodpecker.... they're related at a suborder level (pici), but not family or genus. They're less closely related than chickens are to turkeys (same subfamily) and you wouldn't say a turkey is a type of chicken......

@MatawanBullShark 2 года назад

In The Bahamas, we have the Loggerhead Kingbird; it's one of those more terrestrial Kingfishers. They are interesting in that the previous year's offspring will hang around and help raise those of the current year before eventually setting out to find their own territories.

Look at the picture at 4:59. Is it possible that the colored band is to mimic the branches they next in? It looks like a similar color to the branch. I could see that might be a bit of camouflage used to trick predators into thinking there's something in the way. I donno. I might be an idiot who's just overthinking things.

@pamelapilling6996 2 года назад

Love when you can go out and actually bird with the film crew. Since I am from BC I will never see a Cardinal, they would be interesting. Also feature a migratory songbird that we are losing because of winter habitat loss, hazardous migration routes and maybe the scientist studying the animal which had found out that we are losing them and why we are losing them. A Greater and/or Lesser Prairie Grouse is also an iconic bird that we are losing.

Seeing that magnificent mandarin duck, causing me to conciquencially ID it and research a litte... MY WEEK HAS BEEN MADE! they are so dang beautiful, and instead of seasonally choosing a partner; they're like geese and are in most cases monogamous for liiidiffiifffiffeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
