Sometimes, maybe late summer, I get hundreds of them in the backyard and the sounds they can come up with are incredible and often goofy or comical. Its a joy to hear.
I am just amazed. How is he doing that? I love to watch him use his throat. Just incredible control and it's apparent he's really into it. The rang of volume along with the repertoire of sounds is incredible. I wonder how many different sounds he knows? Imagine not just his skill, but his memory of every note, the timing. All of it. Incredible video. Can't wait to forward this to my daughter and grand daughters. They're going to love it!
Incredible friend you have there. I’m so curious if you have played beck his slow motion sounds to see his reaction. Would be funny if he started doing slow motion!
Apparently recorded bird calls were used for some of the dinosaur sound effects in Jurassic Park. Seems appropriate, given birds are believed to be descendents of a particular breed of dinosaur 🦕 I loved this, l hear starlings all the time,but never close or slowed down ❤
That is rewally awesome. I recently stumbled over recording merls/blackbirds in the morning/evening and it sometimes sounds like wales singing and monkeys in the jungle with so much detailed articulations. I often ask myself if they can decode the sound as fast as they decode pictures per second. Some birds see 150-180 frames per second what is pretty impressive compared to our 23-24 frames. I recorded a few because i want to sample and make some music with em.
I like to imagine this is what the dinosaurs sounded like, every time I hear it I can imagine walking through a dense rainforest full of life and sounds just like these and many more
Dinosaurs probably sounded like birds. Birds are the closest descendants of dinosaurs. You have to consider the size of dinosaurs and birds in relation. Dinosaurs were much bigger than birds what made them sound slower and deeper. As birds are much smaller their sound ist more like sped up and high pitched. But for birds they perceive their own sounds in "normal" speed and pitch. But as we humans are much bigger than birds our perception of time is not the same what makes them sound faster and higher pitched for us.
The effects on this video are by far my favorite. I like how she is standing in a hallway to accentuate the sound. I believe God had fun making this one for sure. ✝️ ❤❤❤
Very kewl!! I love when they make the "dinasaur sounds". I wonder where they pick THOSE up from. I could listen to these awesomeclittle Starlings ALL the time!! TY 4 sharing.💜
Absolutely incredible. I subscribed after watching this video. Just played this for my husband. We have a 30 year old Double Yellow head Parrot. I told him I am very disappointed his vocabulary 😂
I found your channel when it came up in my feed and I couldn't stop wondering if at least some dinosaurs sounded like this. It's the coolest thing I've seen in a very long time! Thanks for sharing!
I remember a day I was working on my car and a mockingbird rested in my Privet hedge. This bird sat there and copied every sound I created with opening my hood, cleaning/tapping my carburetor, popping off hubcaps, even the sound my wash rag made applying soap on the car. The whistle sound made when wiping windows with newspaper when wondering them. Astounding repertoire of mimic' d sounds.
Made my day. Reminds me to the underrated language of hens, even if the song of starlings is no composition of meaningful elements. But it tells us that we tend to overrate our knowledge.
Thank you so much for this beautiful concert. I have just been to a concert today by humans, and now I hear this and am filled with wonder and aware. I had wonderful murmurations of starlings over my home in Wales years ago and that along with blackbirds who now routinely dig up my garden, these often maligned and ignored birds are carriers of communication and beauty we can only dream of.
Starlings get a bad rap sometimes and… well… I’ve cursed them a time or two, but when I step back from my little temper tantrums, I see they are quite beautiful and astonishing little creatures.
For weeks I heard in the distance kids playing in the schoolyard, but there isn't a schoolyard anywhere near my house. Then I discovered the starling at the top of my roof.
