Hawks, eagles, owls, falcons and other birds of prey are awesome! I mean, who doesn't love raptors? But what if I told you that raptors are not a thing? What if I told you that falcons are more closely related to parrots and crows than they are to hawks, eagles, or owls? Well what if I tell you all about the raptors, what they are, how they are related, and what else they are related to? Let's dive into the Telluraves!

Our family dog (Bichon Frise) was almost taken by a turkey vulture who swooped down while I was playing with him in our back yard in New Jersey. The only thing that saved him was the 6ft fence it would have smashed into, it saw the fence and bailed at the last moment. It was that day that I learned that vultures will hunt, if easy pickings aren't available.

@anbu94 7 месяцев назад

I fly RC gliders and they function just like a vulture does. I throw it by hand and then look for thermals to circle in to gain altitude. I can't tell you how many times I was circling, gaining altitude and one by one, vultures came over and circled with me. It's like they thought my glider was one of them and hopped into the thermal. It's amazing how they know what positions to get into. When it was just me and one other vulture, it always stayed 180 degrees from me. When a third one came in, they spaced out to about 120 degrees. When more came in, they would start forming layers in a staggered pattern but always spaced evenly.

@Barakon 7 месяцев назад

7:17 vultures show other vultures where the hot currents are, they confuse away other scavengers, they see better form a high vantage point. That is why they encircle.

@jrodowens 7 месяцев назад

What about displaced or otherwise non-dominant birds circling a known carcass waiting for a feeding opportunity?

@pendlera2959 7 месяцев назад

I wonder if part of it is they know they could be attacked by other predators if they land alone, but a group of vultures is intimidating to predators. So circling is to draw a crowd. There might even have been strong selection pressure for that at one point: predators that hung out around old carcasses to catch fresh vultures? It doesn't make complete sense to me, though, because most predators are willing to scavenge, and new carcasses are a lot more common than old ones. Just thinking out loud.

@KAZVorpal 7 месяцев назад

Your explanation of vulture circling behavior leaves out the main reason: Vultures circle carcasses to attract other vultures. This has a greater evolutionary benefit than getting higher to see farther away, because if there are enough of you then you can drive away ground scavengers, and even ones they can't drive away are less likely to kill an individual vulture, through the confusion effect. Of course rising to see farther is a benefit, but it's secondary, and probably wouldn't even be worthwhile by itself, versus getting to the food sooner to eat.

@smelltheglove2038 7 месяцев назад

I thought the main reason was to stay in rising thermal air column, since it’s like an upside down tornado. It’s the air column that attracts the other buzzards. They usually congregate in, for a lack of a better word flocks, early in the morning to warm up. They tend to stick in these groups throughout the day. Living in the country, I’d spend hours watching their behaviors. I wish I could post pictures here, they’d line up along the fence near my house in the dozens in the morning, wings spread, and around 9am they’d take off.

@KAZVorpal 7 месяцев назад

@@smelltheglove2038We're talking specifically about them circling a carcass, not them circling in general. Obviously, they ALSO circle to ride thermals, but when they're circling a carcass it's not because they want to get really high up, per se, but to signal other vultures and accumulate a safer group.

@@evancombs5159 Mostly using the correct phylogeny is just a fun thing to see people react to as overall they aren't that important. Only a few people need to know phylogeny for their job. But dividing by features in some cases is still verry confusing as not all languages use the same divisions. While raptor works both in English and my first language (Dutch) that's not always true. Monkey and ape as diffrent terms for example don't exist in certain languages, they have one word that includes both. Parakeets and parots are another example. Some birds that are called parrot in English might be called a parakeet in another language.

@Nefermose 3 месяца назад

My best guess for the etymology of coliiformes is "woodpecker formed". Colius is from New Latin - likely derived from the Greek κολιός. It likely comes from κολάπτω, which means to peck or carve.

@docclabo6350 6 дней назад

According to Meta AI, "Colius" originates from the Greek word "κολιός" (kolios), meaning "gray" or "dust-colored." This root is also related to "κολία" (kolia), meaning "dust" or "ashes." The Latin term "colius" was later adopted to describe the mousebirds' distinctive grayish-brown plumage.
