A less vulgar bird: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfsnHVaScjg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfsnHVaScjg

  I'm so blown away by the clarity of speech! After hearing him talk like that, hearing the normal bird noises almost sounds strange, like a human mimicking a bird, or like he's gotten impatient and wants us to understand his native language.

    Or maybe he decided, out of desperation, to drop the circus act for a second and try to beg the human to get that leash off of him.

      I doubt the bird is that desperate considering it's being constantly fed.

    If you haven't watched it already, you should check out 'Dancing With The Birds' on Netflix. Maybe I'm biased being a huge bird lover, but man that movie left me in awe. This scene in particular... https://youtu.be/Eg0iSIHIK34 https://youtu.be/Eg0iSIHIK34

      On a slight tangent, but is it just me or is this video weirdly HD for 1080p on Youtube? It's incredibly crisp

        Many compress quite a lot before uploading. For gaming for example, I noticed significant improvement if I uploaded the 100Mbps raw data from Shadowplay compared to say a 25Mbps intermediate version. I also think the depth of field is helping a lot. By blurring out the background the bits can be spent encoding the details of the plumage.

        Netflix are masters at video compression, great reads and insights if you’re so inclined: https://netflixtechblog.com/tagged/video-encoding https://netflixtechblog.com/tagged/video-encoding

      You might enjoy the superb lyre bird imitating sounds as mind boggling as a chainsaw--and when I say imitate, I mean I couldn't have distinguished the lyre bird sound from a real chainsaw. It's really mind-boggling to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSB71jNq-yQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSB71jNq-yQ

  This one is my absolute favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ickzGMtREFk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ickzGMtREFk It's the most perfectly creepy thing you could teach a raven.
