There's a bird here in Brazil, the "quero-quero" ("southern lapwing" or Vanellus chilensis) that sports a couple of 1cm-sized spurs on each wing, used to intimidate rivals or enemies while flying. They nest in grasslands, being very common to be found in soccer camps and sometimes disturbing the trains because they try to protect the nests (for the amusement of those who watch the trains :D)

@@AifDaimon The wyvern/dragon distinction is made up, and not as widespread as you might htink. If you want to look at dragons through the lens of mythology, you quickly find that the concept of "dragon" is more of a handful of distinct narrative roles than a physical description; some dragons are mashups of various specific animals, some are just huge snakes, etc (consider the fact that _every_ culture has a dragon-concept; if they were defined by body type this would not be true). If you want to look at dragons through the lens of modern fantasy pop culture, then there are no fixed rules because that's not how art works.

1:12 The way that baby climbs up makes me think of early feathered dinosaurs. I mean if you climb up trees in order to drop down on prey below it is it likely to encourage a tendency to evolve towards at least gliding.
When you said “ducks also have them” at the start, my mind went to the REAL nightmare fuel that is a duck’s reproductive organs (even double penis having sharks think that sh*t is brutal & their junk evolved to stop females forcibly scraping them off of their bodies during mating)
But my first thought was "I don't want to learn about another corkscrew penis having animal." Also I believe snakes have a double headed penis probably for similar reasons.
@The Snark maybe because Hoatzin is the right spelling? It's how the channel wrote it in the info and how it's written in everything I can find online about the bird. Seriously, Google crap before you try giving people grief.
Wing claws instantly made sense to me, since wings are hands. So it wasn't a new adaptation, and just re-evolving something that is likely still there in its genetics. The stomach thing, on the other hand, is actually strange, as that's a new adaptation. Which is cool!
When I was a kid, there was a documentary I loved, narrated by Anthony Hopkins called the Flooded Forest. In it, I saw the Hoatzin for the first time! I thought it was gorgeous. Then, I saw the baby and didn't care about the claw because I WAS A KID WORRIED BECAUSE THE BABIES KEPT FALLING OFF! I always thought, "The babies were gonna fall in the water some day and ... :(((" This video gave me so much peace. Thank you.
One thing to support is that the animals have become smaller because of the environment. The hoatzin is quite big especially for a bird, so it's understandable it hits close to the dinosaur age
I remember watching these birds in the Orinoco river. They were always perched on the low trees next to the river. They seemed weird, but I didn't know how weird until now.
The fact that birds have claws on their wings is the same reason bats have claws on their wings: They all evolved from quadraped ancestors who walked on four feet, which all had claws, just as quadrapedal creatures still do today.
Speaking evolutionary terms those claws aren't that weird, virtually all avian dinosaurs pre-cretaceous extinction had claw digits on their wings. So really the birds who don't have them are the weird ones.
I have loved this bird since first hearing about it as a kid (love animal programs, watched a ton) it was described as being like an archaeopteryx and I can see it (and this was before feathered dinosaurs and dinos evolved into birds was even a common thought) Considering where it lives, I could see it going down the road to evolve like a monkey, losing flight (but keeping the ability to glide) and getting better and permanent hands and claws to climb and crawl along branches, hell it's smell could become a defense mechanism as it gets bigger and more monkey or sloth like
Later in the late devouring period, fish became obnoxious, clam-a-saurs and oyster-etts appeared as appetizers. Animals without backbones hid from each other or fell down.
searched it up because they seemed similar to the guacharacas we have in Venezuela. Found out that they are and aren't. Apparently, they are what we call "guacharacas de agua" ("water guacharacas") but aren't in the same family, or even in the same order as the other bird we call guacharaca. That's fascinating to me.
I thought anybody that has ever Butchered a bird for a meal has come across the wing claws. As an ex-professional cook, I didn't find that to be new. I did enjoy the episode though, very interesting bird.
I only found out that this channel exists today. I subbed, and this is the first video I've watched. What a brilliant introduction to the channel! A bird that I find so amazingly awesome, and a host whose fascination is obvious. I have a feeling I'm gonna love every video
AKA, when people realize that scientists weren't joking by calling birds modern day dino's, and the birds prove it by having vestigial claws on their wings (AKA arms, hands, and *fingers* that once had claws like most reptiles and their decedents, specialized to allow them to fly). I love that some still do.
The difference between baby birds like the hoatzin, that are relatively agile (for baby birds), and those that aren’t, is an important distinction made by ornithologists and birders. Many birds (think robins) have young that hatch from their eggs blind, naked, and basically helpless. These are altricial chicks. Others (think poultry, like ducks) have young that hatch with a kind of feathers, and able to walk around and feed themselves. The latter are precocial chicks. These terms are not usually applied to mammals, but we could say that baby horses (foals) are precocial- they can walk and jump around within a few hours of birth- while human babies are altricial- we spend our first several months just lying around, waiting to be fed, and most of us don’t walk until we’re around a year old.
I never expected to be this fascinated by a bird. That was quite unexpected! Would love to see one covering the pangolin one day. Most trafficked mammal, more evolutionarilly related to lions than the are other animals with convergent evolutionary traits like anteaters or armadillo, fascinating biology and eating habits, and, even related to today, one of the speculated potential animal to human vectors for the ongoing crisis. Ignoring the last thing, I just find them extremely fascinating.

Did anyone else think of that bit in Jenna Marbles' Google Deep Dive video where she googles "worst smells" and this beast comes up and she goes "hOAtzin! .......Stink bird :)" No? Just me?
There's a bird in Indonesia born so precocial that it can fly right out of the egg. And it has claws on its wings. So do ostriches. And lots of other birds. Claws on wings are uncommon, but not rare. And almost every bird in the world has thumbs. Moa and kiwis are exceptions only because they have no or extremely small wings.
I saw a post years ago about the Hoatzin’s unusual digestive tract (they eat leaves, so they aren’t normal birds). The best response in the comments section was: “It’s alimentary, my dear hoatzin.”
Baby hoatzins can swim and climb, turkey poults can do minor amounts of flying at days old, and eurasian roller chicks projectile vomit at their enemies. Birds are pretty cool.
The drakes (boy ducks) are hiding something. It's long, it's strong, it's corkscrew shaped and has barbs on it. The longest duck one on record is 16 inches. That's like 42 centimeters. Also, boy ducks don't quack. Only girls do.
