Props on the camera man for revealing it in the best way possible to one of the few people that would appreciate it just as much as himself. Gave me a goooooood feeling, big congrats.
I have no real personal interest in birds, but seeing the instant reaction of this man really made my day, I've watched it half a dozen times by now. Congratulations to you and your team!
It must've been so hard to be casual like "hey man, take a look at this" when you KNEW the guy was about to have a meltdown of pure joy and disbelief. The reaction is... man, just heartwarming. Congratulations to you all!
@@pedroroque829 it's super easy friend. It can be as simple as wrighting down observations of nature around you or pulling weeds from protected/threatened areas. Getting out there will also surely get people joining you. What part of the world are you in? Ill also try for a bit more specific advice.
I am overwhelmed by the response to Doka's reaction to our surreal finding! Many are requesting the trail cam photo we are responding to- the first ever photo of the Black-naped Pheasant-pigeon- which you can see here: mobile.twitter.com/Jordan_Boersma/status/1593268835980902400 See video of species here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9o8jPd_kwrc.html&ab_channel=WildBirdsofNewGuinea Thanks so much for watching and stay tuned for more Doka and the dramatic search for the Auwo!
Such unbridled, genuine joy is not something you see too often, and such a beautiful bird on top of it all too. I'll keep coming back to this when I need a cheer-me-up for a long time!
A while ago when this video originally came out, I told my wife this was my dream for her, she is into conservation and loves trail and trap cameras, I told her that I wanted to see one day a video like this, where she sees something in a trap cam that gets her this excited She thought it was the best thing she had ever heard, and she was full of love for me because no one had ever wished her something like that, it sounded like I really nailed it and it was what she had wanted all her life. Sadly she passed away a week ago and was never able to find something like this. She set camera traps in Peru, Colombia, Thailand, Belize, Borneo, Namibia and South Africa, she did more than most people will ever get to, but she died too young and will never be able to fulfill her dream of finding a species considered extinct or saving a species from extinction. I will always remember the moment we watched this video together. It was the one of her happiest moments, and for sure the most proud of herself moment ever. Thank you
@@austinbruce2422 search up the Black-naped Pheasant-pigeon, there'll be a bunch of new images as news sites have uploaded the images, which I presume were distributed by this very channel.
You should seriously create a RU-vid short of Doka's reaction. Have seen it several times and it never fails to make me smile. That is pure joy. A good cure for the holiday blues.
I keep watching this and I am almost In tears at the reaction of the guide and local man on the ground ,who made this happen.A man after my own heart in the knowledge and respect of his lands.Keep on the the good work brother.
This is so delightful, i cannot imagine how exciting it must have been to capture the pictures, let alone the reaction! Videos like this make me grin like a fool, the giddiness is contagious!!
The amount of emotions - some of then universal according to Paul Ekman (some people dispute his stuff BTW, keep that in mind just in case) - shown just through body language was wonderful to see! First, we can witness a mix of confusion, interest and uncertainty (a near-blank expression save for the slightly opened eyes and mouth, looking at the other person searching for confirmation about what's happening or if a similar expression was made) in Doka's face, then, he goes from that to restrained happiness (his smile isn't as big as it could be because he's still confirming whether he's actually seeing what he hoped to see), after that, he gets the screen closer and leans forward to see it to better absorb what he's looking at, shortly after, there's sheer astonishment albeit a bit restrained (the mouth wants to open wide but he keeps his lips tight to avoid that, however, he can't help but do that with his eyes, his eyebrows rise a lot too), then he experiences sheer joy (he makes a Duchenne smile while the expression of surprise remains) and then to a full feeling of happiness, success and confidence (he no longer constricts or restraints anything, he rises up, widens up and raises his arms [a common gesture when people celebrate, even lifelong blind people raise their hands to celebrate despite never witnessing such an action], he then holds on to the cameraman's hands showing his appreciation for him and what he showed him, and, to no one's surprise, the cameraman is equally happy. What a wonderful moment and how great it is to have a video of the aforementioned; congratulations and may many more people see this video, it's delightful and very genuine!
Not to rain on your parade, but Paul Ekman is selling snake oil. Microexpressions and his "science" of universal expression is largely disproven at this point.
The shared human experience is amazing and I think Ekman’s work can definitely express that, though it shouldn’t go unsaid that his stuff isn’t just ‘somewhat disputed’. Again, I think how ur using it is largely positive, but the study of micro expressions and evolutionary psychology is fairly conclusive - which is to stay it was a lot of bs funded by the US gov in the 80s-90s to justify profiling and split second decisions made by law enforcement without explicitly stating that. Psychological consensus today is that microexpressions r more a product of ur cultural experience than engrained reactions. They r still certainly relevant, we are all increasingly connected, but they aren’t in themselves more substantial than how anybody forms impressions about the world.
Congratulations to you and your team 🎊 The work you folks do is extremely important and very much underrepresented. But it's appreciated greatly by people like me who want to find lost species and conserve them for future generations to see ! Again, CONGRATULATIONS 🎊
Truly emotional moment. Even though we are not part of this in real but thanks to this video which allowed us to feel this and be a part of Doka's reaction. It did not felt like i am watching a video, i felt like i am there with you guys and enjoying his expressions. Superb☺👍👍
Great bit of footage.Contratulaions to Jason,Jordan and 'all those' Involved in finding such a rare bird.A very happy day indeed! So good to know it is still there,and not another extinct species.Watched the footage on twitter and it's a beautiful bird as well.
Your really changing the world for the better. Congrats mate, your an absolute legend. It brings joy to us Papua New Guineans to know that we still have incredible animas like this though to be extinct, protected in our country
Well he made a comment about someone looking through the photos as well so maybe they wanted to make this announcement but didnt want the photo up yet. That or, more likely, they were just really excited and threw this up real quick to make it known.
Just when you think Humans are the worst, you look at this brilliant reaction to rediscovering a 'lost' animal. Well done guys, well done. What happens next, are there routes to protecting this species?
The bird is actually called an auwo by the locals of the region, it’s actual name is the black naped pheasant pigeon, and it has been though to be extinct because it was last seen in the 1800s. The original video can be found on the channel auwo and will give a much better explanation in the description than I can.
They actually got footage of the Black Napped Pheasant Pigeon. Thought to be extinct for 140 years! This is in Papua New Guinea! Really cool to see their joy guys!
I had the exact same reaction as that dude when I heard/saw it was alive, I don’t have a connection to the bird as much as others like my beloved Blue Jay but I still very much love and appreciate all birds
Working on the next one now! In the meantime here is the video of the species with teaser footage at the end: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9o8jPd_kwrc.html&ab_channel=WildBirdsofNewGuinea
