Click here to tweet DeepDive2 http://bit.ly/TweetDeepDive2, I hope you never look at a bird in flight the same way again. I know I won't! Artist Info: Sarah Xu, a student at the Vancouver Film School made the awesome introduction Drawing. http://captainpillow.blogspot.ca/ Gordon, the guy in charge of "Scary Parrot Monsters" at the end of the video wrote this song. It's called "Black Rhino"... and is available for download online: http://ashellinthepit.bandcamp.com/album/mammals ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How to get there yourself!: I coordinated the travel with Rainforest Expeditions http://www.perunature.com/ Tell them Destin sent you. You can checkout what they do on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Rainforest.Expeditions They ran me up and down the river in a boat, gave me lenses, a clean bed, awesome food etc. It was pretty amazing! See the research project's website here: http://macawproject.org/index.php The project is led by Dr. Don Brightsmith Schubot Exotic Bird Health Center Department of Veterinary Pathobiology College of Veterinary Medicine Jeff Cremer was my hook-up for all things photography once I got on site. He's very good at technical photography and is more than capable of handling anything you can throw at him. Check out his chops and tell him Destin sent you: http://bit.ly/JeffPhoto ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SMARTER EVERY DAY - DEEP DIVE #2 How Bird Wings Work - Smarter Every Day http://bit.ly/U3Hre2 How Wings Work -- A reference for creature props http://bit.ly/U3HvdR How do you clip a wing? http://bit.ly/R8uvha how to clip your birds wings (with call ducks) http://bit.ly/QIk2vw  Why clip feathers?

I have 3 kids and plan on spending the next 10 years contributing to the public body of knowledge and helping you learn! If you'd like to give back via a microscholarship, click here: http://bit.ly/KidsCollege Instead of saving for my kids' college, I make videos using the money I would have saved. The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please share the video. If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars towards their college fund by clicking here: http://bit.ly/KidsCollege Warm Regards, Destin

evolution ha?
-
this is all I need to know to build real wings.
-
I knew all that lol
-
It looks clear while watching hummingbirds in slow motion that they generate lift on the backwards stroke. They look like they generate lift only by flicking air down.
-
that bird is soooo cute
-
im on my moms account but anyway can birds experience g force like planes can?
-
Interesting! I like the observations. Thanks for the tips man!!! Ima get smarter everyday
-
loved this info and your " I am learning something new through observation " attitude. thanks!
-
I think it's even stranger when I am already aware of something (the feathers separating), but have never questioned it's existence or meaning.
-
Is that why in rowing, on the back stroke, tilting the oar blades is called feathering?
-
I would really like a video on the Click Mechanism in dragonfly flight. I probably didn't post this request in the right video but hay, as long as you still get the message :)
-
If we could make an arctificial muscle like an organic muscle... I wonder, would be easy to make a robot that flies like birds.
-
Hang on. Are you saying that birds fly by pushing air downwards to generate buoyancy? ie. Birds fly by displacing a mass or air equal to their own mass. Because low & high air pressure are a consequence of air being pushed down, pressure differentials are not a cause of lift.
-
1:50 I thought all that green was grass.
-
this guy has such a charismatic face, idk, I just love him for no reason
-
you should build a flap-a-wing-a-thing.
-
Poor bird
-
evolved or created? seems complex
-
Omg the bird~its adorable!!! <3
