How much do you know about Turkeys? Do you know that they are closely related to ducks? Do you know what a snood is? Well it turns out that there are things about turkeys and their relatives that you might not want to know, but I'm going to tell you anyway! I bet you'll never look at birds the same way again...

I have had turkeys for feather sales, pets and to sell poults for around 14 years now. Truly beautiful, interesting birds:) They can actually be very personable.
Pavo real means “Royal turkey” or “regal turkey” it is because the feathers have a royal blue hue :)
@@aussiekingofmongrelsthat's a common misconception among Spanish speaking people. It's called "pavo real" because peacocks were "pavo" long before any Spanish speaking person ever saw a turkey. When turkeys were first encountered by Spanish speaking people, they called it, essentially, a peacock (because that was the most similar animal that they knew). Today both are "pavo". To denote the difference they are essentially called the "peacock", and the "real peacock". Because "real peacocks" are so extravagant, and because "real" in Spanish can mean real or royal, and because most people don't know this history, they assume that the "real" means royal, but that is incorrect.
Here's a video idea. Clint reviews how accurate the 1993 Super Mario Bros Movie is with Dinosaurs.
Stop normalising products of animal exploitation
I love how there were probably just regular ducks around when Trex was chillin, like seriously the fact that there could have been ducks hanging out in a pond next to a trex is so goofy to me.
Duck Duck Goose? 👎
Duck Duck Tyrannosaur. 👍
I imagine those ducks fled with a quickness from juvenile T-Rex, but didn't sweat the presence of adults, who wouldn't bother chasing down such a small animal.
And they were all theropod dinosaurs, lol
Vegavis?
@@scottwells8064like the squirrels who often go into the enclosures of tigers and lions, knowing that they're too small of prey for them to care.
One of my favorite "mind-blow" facts to tell people is that there are technically more species of dinosaurs alive TODAY than species of mammals. (10,000+ birds vs 5,400+ mammals)
Yes! Earth is still a dinosaur planet.
That blows my mind, but so true 🤯
and in fact there are more species of dinosaur today than there were during the age of the dinosaurs! (even accounting for the fact that the fossile record is necessarily incomplete!!!)
@@junovzla surely not more than all the dinosaur species that existed for the entire 165 million year age of the dinosaurs.
@@junovzla Ehh, that estimate using TRiPS is still very very likely to be extremely low, even the highest estimate, as it is still using available fossils as a base point.
*”When did this become a discussion about corkscrew penises?!?!”*
Dude, if I had a dollar for every time one our family’s thanksgivings devolved into chaos and ended with someone yelling that….😂❤
😂
I first saw one as a teenager, before the Internet. I refused to believe it was an actual penis! Sheltered childhood 😂
@katiekane5247 flew right over my head as I rode my bike. I thought its intestine was hanging out or something.
I’d have two dollars, which isn’t a lot but how odd that it happened twice?
I have 12 dollars
Not because this has happened but because I saved 12 whole dollars
A snood is a type of knit hairnet, and if you google ‘snood’ you’ll see some of them do resemble the shape of a turkey’s snood. Since the snood was worn in Europe as far back as the Middle Ages, I imagine the European settlers named the turkey’s snood after the clothing article. Great video as always!
I was going to talk about that too!
it's also what they call a sort of hairnet for showdogs with long, furry ears to wear while they drink water or eat, to protect the fur!
It's a subtle joke
If there is an award for funniest zoologist, you have attained it. You have no equal in that regard!
Please make one!
@@ClintsReptilesYou know the trophy HAS to say " Funniest Zoologist, if you're into that kind of thing" 😉
@@deed5811YES 🎉
And Happiest too!! 🙌🏻🫶
Well, Mr. Funniest Zoologist missed the opportunity of calling the screamer a 'gooster' 😅
I expected a lot of complaints about this video, but I didn't think that THIS would be the complaint! 😅
SO MANY PEOPLE have jumped on to correct my translation of the Spanish "pavo real" to "real turkey". They say that "pavo real" means "royal turkey". Given that "real" in Spanish means both "real" and "royal", that could be true, so what's the correct translation?
Peacocks are called "pavo real" because peacocks were "pavo" long before any Spanish speaking person ever saw a turkey. "Pavo" is, in fact, Latin for peacock.
When turkeys were first encountered by Spanish speaking people, they called it, essentially, a peacock (because that was the most similar animal that they knew). Today both are "pavo". To denote the difference they are essentially called the "peacock", and the "real peacock". Because "real peacocks" are so extravagant, and because most people don't know this history, they assume that the "real" in this context means royal, but that is incorrect.
Now can we talk about the correct pronunciation of the word Argentine?
you telling me I (spanish speaker) have lived a lie my whole life?!
I remain unconvinced about this, here in Yucatan Mexico, there are stories about the peacok being the king of birds an so, but given the fact that other stories shows peacocks as thiefs and for that were punished with no singing whatsoever... im no telling you are incorrect just that im unconvinced hahaha.
Your channel is the best, best regards clint, i hope you fight AI Clint and stay with us for a long time.
I know this because one of the little stories from my high-school Latin class was something like "Pavo et Canem". A story in which some Romans encounter a dog and later feast on a peacock. IIRC
Wow as a Spaniard I always thought the "real" in "pavo real" came from royal, not only because of their appearance, but because they were associated to royalty and nobility (and still are often in royal palace gardens).
I've been learning spanish a few years now, and I was halfway through typing a correction before I decided to scroll down to see if it had been addressed. lol
Currently raising turkeys, and they're such funny, stupid little guys... learning about their whole family tree was a great treat!!
Turkeys give the best bird hugs. 🤗
You’ll love them! Turkeys are the best
@@calebrey Their faces look like cute wrinkly little ballsacks lol.
Yes so true! I raise turkeys too, and they are just about the derpiest, goofiest, dumbest, and most awkard birds ever. They never fail to make me laugh 😂 they definitely are my favorite poultry to keep next to guineas and peacocks.
@@ChickenScratch-Feathers It’s wild to think about just how ancient of a bird they are despite their awkward derpiness.
Clint's infectious enthusiasm makes me regret not following my childhood dream of becoming a zoologist! But I'm so happy to have found his channel so I can live vicariously through him!
That's was and still is my dream too. I always wanted to become a paleontologist, zoologist or evolutionary biologist. But the academic requirements were to difficult for me. So i teach myself in the hope that i can one day contribute to the sciences. You can too.
Omg same 😭
You still can mate! Especially today with lots of uni’s offering off campus, online undergraduate studies.
Eventually you have to get involved on campus to get a properly rounded qualification, but you can do a lot of the first-year units online. Gives you a chance to see if you really want to do it, before committing your life to it.
I am about to turn 40, and after losing my job in the tech sector last year, I decided I wanted to give palaeontology a go and actually chase my childhood dreams, after 20 years of working my ass off in various roles for other people’s dreams and zero gratitude.
I’m a mature-age first year student, but my results so far have all been 80-95% and I am genuinely enjoying my subjects, and have an optimistic view of the future for the first time since I was 16.
@@wilhelmredhood7296 This is inspiring. I'm also "too old" for a career or school by most peoples standards but the idea that i could actually study something I love almost makes me cry...
@@myxini aw that’s so nice to hear that it made you feel positive hopefully.
I can’t stress enough to you, to just actively defy the negative voices saying you can’t, or shouldn’t, or it’s too late or any of that balony.
You only live once after all, and everyone deserves the right to break the shackles of expectations and choose to follow a passion, at any point in your life. It’s your short precious gift of life as a sentient human after all.
And the student debt thing, don’t let that stop you either.
End of the day, it might help with motivation, and when you have your qualification/s you will probably have a whole new selection of possibly better paying job options open to you, that you will actually enjoy doing, which will make repaying it that much easier and less soul destroying to make money, than if you keep on grinding a job you hate for 💩pay, to achieve someone else’s goals, who doesn’t appreciate you anyway…
If you are going to be poor and struggling and hating anyway. Then you might as well be poor, struggling and studying something you love, with that opening doors for possibility of a more optimistic future.
You’d be cheating yourself, if you don’t back yourself and roll those 🎲.
I love when Clint gets SO unhinged
He is PERFECTION!
I know - in his early videos he’s so reserved and now it’s like he’s completely let loose. He’s graduated from Mr. Rogers to full Steve Irwin lol. Clint’s definitely one of my favorite living animal educators! 😊
True!🤩
AI Clint could never match this 😂
His enthusiasm is why I watch. Entertainment and education 👍🏻
There are families of turkeys in my neighborhood. I was walking my dog once, when i hear this interesting little cry, and i turn around and it 's a small young little turkey running towards us, but up ahead of us was as group of turkeys, one of which hearing the cry turned around and started running towards the little one while making her own call. It was so cute. Scary for the little one who got separated from his mom, but the motherly care was just so beautiful.
Franklin was just as promiscuous as any turkey. His treatise on the virtues of the turkey was actually a satire directed at a local patriotic club whose symbol was an eagle that was so badly drawn that it more closely resembled a turkey.
Pretty funny backstory lol, almost like a meme from the past
@@IceGangsta Cruel to the animals, and not funny?
@@TheSapphireLeoWe are still cruel to animals, AND on much bigger scale too.
@@TheSapphireLeohow is something that doesn't affect the animal, and doesn't hurt anyone or anything, supposedly "cruel‽" There's certainly no violence, nor is there any food or water deprivation, or anything else cruel. It sounded like, if this is true, it was a joke. 🤷🏽♀️ Big deal. 🙄😒
@@TheSapphireLeo You are the reason people decided to go cannibal. They have to hear you and decide that humans probably taste way better than they sound...
The idea anything survived is a miracle. Absolute heroes.
I absolutely adore Clint's facial expression when he talks about dinosaur December because that is how I feel on the inside about the opportunity to talk about and look at dinosaurs. One of these days I need to go out and meet him in person because yeah we're almost the same person, lol.
As soon as the screamer pic popped up, I thought it looked like a secretary bird and started googling which family they belong to but obviously should have waited 45 seconds more when Clint explained it himself 😂
Wrote it once, write it again: the fact that anseliformes coexisted with the dinosaurs just explains why geese and ducks are so aggressive. And especially towards mammals. Mammals stole their eggs... possibly. For lack of better word, the ancestral memory of scaring away stuff that is bigger than them doesn't disappear that easily.
Why the past tense? We are still stealing them now.
now i imagine pathetic duck chase away large theropod away from their nest
@@Rumda. I stand corrected 😁
Swans are bigger jerks than any of them, I’ve been attacked 3 different times by 3 different swans in 3 different locations. They live in my town, they are the town mascot 🤦🏼♀️ and I’ve heard others in the area hate the ones they’ve encountered. Swans should be on menus.
@@KerriGilpinYou think that swans should be killed for being annoying?
Hey Clint! I love these phylogeny videos and was wondering if you ever considered doing an order of fish for one of these? If so, I think you'd get a real kick out of covering the Tetraodontiformes, seeing as they have a whole lot of weird members with some weird uses over history. I hope you keep making more of these types of vids for the foreseeable future, they're great!
That's one of my favorite groups of non-tetrapod bony fishes!!!
@@ClintsReptiles somehow that response is so Zoologist! 😂
"Cloacal kiss" is the major take away from this video
All the stabs at Hamilton, especially the snood, had me rolling 🤣
This video was brought to you by Aaron Burr
I LOVE dinosaurs. So I'm totally looking forward to Dinosaur December.
Dino December eh who knew
Oscillated turkeys are beautiful. I saw some in Guatemala several years ago. Once upon a time, I had a copy of the photo my classmate took that we jokingly titled 'What really happened to the Maya'. Tikal has a scale model of the site in the visitor center (which is an open-air pavilion) and 'Birdzilla' the oscillated turkey was hunting for insects in the doorways, so it looked like it was trying to eat the residents.
That is hilarious! I can vividly picture it!
Now I want to know what the scariest part of being a safari driver is!
Same!
I'm going to guess it's the passengers.
Hippos....
It's rich tourists who keep telling them to take them closer.
never expected "guinea fowls are Toyota Prius of the sky" to be an actual sentence for someone to say😂
I was crying of laughter from the perfect explanation of the duck's reproductive systems.
The creator of Hamilton said in interviews that the reason Ben Franklin isn't in Hamilton was because as he was writing songs for Franklin it started becoming clear that Franklin would have stolen too much thunder and attention away from Hamilton and he would have become the main character. So Franklin was cut to keep the play about Hamilton.
There are a ton of unsolicited duck pics in this video Clint. You truly are my kind of people.
Another fantastic video. Id love to see a video about the Hoatzin (the babies have claws on their wings!) and their relationship to other birds.
Hey Clint, ever thought about doing a video on foxes, with an emphasis on explaining how gray foxes and South American foxes aren't actually foxes at all?
That sounds like a great idea!
I would watch that. I love foxes they are really cool critters, they really are animals that I could almost believe were 1/2 canine and 1/2 feline despite not really being either (I know they are part of the canidae family but being vulpine are still very different from other canines)
@@ClintsReptiles id love that! foxes are my favorite animal!!
@@sarahbeaulieu999cat software running on canid hardware
Foxes are not a natural group, they are actually a paraphyletic group, which is why there are many dog species called foxes, only ten out of twenty extant genera of dogs have species known as foxes being Urocyon (includes 2 species: Urocyon cinereoargenteus (Grey Fox) and Urocyon littoralis (Channel Island Fox)), Bassarilupus (includes 2 species: Bassarilupus gymnocercus (Pampas Fox) and Bassarilupus sechurae (Sechuran Fox)), Pseudalopex (includes 2 species: Pseudalopex culpaeus (Culpeo) and Pseudalopex vetulus (Hoary Fox)), Lycalopex (includes 2 species: Lycalopex griseus (Chilla) and Lycalopex fulvipes (Darwin's Fox)), Cerdocyon (includes 1 species: Cerdocyon thous (Crab-Eating Fox)), Vulpes (includes 3 species: Vulpes vulpes (Eurasian Red Fox), Vulpes fulva (American Red Fox), and Vulpes barbara (African Red Fox)), Neocyon (includes 1 species: Neocyon ferrilatus (Tibetan Fox)), Alopex (includes 4 species: Alopex corsac (Corsac Fox), Alopex lagopus (Arctic Fox), Alopex velox (Swift Fox), and Alopex macrotis (Kit Fox)), Fennecus (includes 6 species: Fennecus bengalensis (Bengal Fox), Fennecus canus (Blanford's Fox), Fennecus rueppellii (Ruppell's Fox), Fennecus zerda (Fennec Fox), Fennecus pallidus (Pale Fox), and Fennecus chama (Cape Fox)), and Otocyon (includes 1 species: Otocyon megalotis (Bat-Eared Fox)), the other ten extant dog genera are not foxes.
He finally talks about turkeys at 27:00. Yes the first twenty seven minutes is other stuff, like waterfowl and Disney theme parks.
You should get chinese button quail for the room, they are tiny, cute and lay eggs small enough for young egg eating snakes
Button quail are so freaking cute!!
They're actually called asiatic chungchis as they are not true quails, the word "buttonquail" officially refers to the family Turnicidae.
@@indyreno2933that's cool
Listening to Clint tiptoe around less kid friendly topics for so long, only to open a video with a comment about duck penises truly is magnificent.
I love how diverse these birds are, there’s enough there that you could probably make a phylogeny video about Phasianidae alone! And another for Anatidae! You didn’t even get the chance to talk about the flightless club-winged steamer ducks, or the stinky fully aquatic musk duck!
It was fun learning about Hamilton and his diminutive American woodcock, one of my favorite Scolopacids. At least I think it was mentioned in this video 🤔
Yeah, there are plenty of other galloanseriformes to go over, I'd love more on the merganser, as well as the ruddy duck.
Blue Snood! Love it! Do an entire Clint's album of cover songs slightly altered to fit crazy facts about various species. I want that for Dino December Christmas.🦃🦖🎄
PS--you've got a nice singing voice--unexpectedly so--singing science geek stuff is just delightful.
I wonder how chickens would look like if we had domesticated a different species of junglefowl, instead of Gallus gallus.
I wonder how many Crest Colors there would be if it would've been the Green Junglefowl
you'll find a lot of goofy looking chicken breeds if you start getting into them
@@Firestar-TV of course plenty. Blue, purple, anything other than red and black.
Well green junglefowl actually can be bred with common domestic chicken that descend from red junglefowl. Their descendant are called bekisar and often used as shows chicken in its native region, East Java
@@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434 Seen them online once. They are amazing
I just realized that I think of chickens as "farm" animals, even though I know they are jungle fowl. They are so domesticated and altered from their jungle cousins, that it dosen't feel like they were ever wild anything. Thanks for the reminder!
"Thats enough to make any serious top gun fan cry"- that hit me right in da feels man
This is perhaps the silliest Clint we have ever gotten, and I'm HERE for it.
BEST... VIDEO... EVER!!! I love Clint's enthusiasm, have to admire his dedication to biology and the humor is outstanding.
Clint, you should get a flock of guinea fowl and learn to love their stupid antics (they can't get you fired now!) 😂I absolutely LOVE my flock of guineas - best parts: they keep my farm free of ticks and other pests, and they provide hours of entertainment daily (even if that means I'm often herding them away from the roadway).
On the topic of corkscrew penises... We also raise pigs. I'm sure you know what boars have...a corkscrew penis! 🤭 Granted, their corkscrew is nowhere near as impressive as the ones mentioned/show in your video. Maybe throw in a pig video around Christmas to honor all the Christmas hams...and you'll be able to talk about corkscrew penises two months in a row! 😂
Love the channel!
I was a farmhand in Montana in the 90s on a ranch that had guinea fowl. One interesting thing was that they would sometimes find rattlesnakes and form a circle around them and make a lot of noise. Unfortunately, after a few years they were all eventually killed by raccoons.
@@JustinQuilling When I was a kid, my family raised chickens, ducks, and turkeys. We got a lot of eggs and we ate one chicken.
Everything else was sadly assassinated (probably by coyote).
Who else was today years old when they learned Daffy and Porky had matching privates?
By the sound of it, even if Porky's might not be as long as Daffy's, the effects of his may last longer ;D
When I started watching I didn't think I'd learn why my favorite game birds like our state bird, the ruffled grouse, the turkey and the ringneck pheasant all have so much white meat. But thank you, Clint!
I knew about oscillated turkeys, but the only pictures I had from about 20 years ago consisted of black and white, poorly printed drawing and poorly printed super tiny long distance photo. I'm going to go check out the internet and see all the new pretty pictures that must exist! Absolutely loved this episode everything about it!
Isn't it "ocellated"?
I love how all wild turkeys are only found in the americas. Today, my turkeys (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter,....) meet their fate. They were raised for this purpose and we have some that are pets
I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard Clint say he doesn’t like a specific animal (Guinea fowl)
But he had a valid reason.
LOVE THIS, you should do an animal holiday themed phylogeny episode for each major holiday, im thinking reindeer for Christmas, bunnies for Easter, bats for Halloween (Ik you’ve already done bats before just saying lol)
20 days until Dinosaur December... I'll just be sitting here waiting by the phone Clint... ☎️👀
Wow! PaleoAnalysis in the wild! Love your videos
Just watched your rats video after this one and... I think rats could use some competition: gerbils. They're like small rats with a no pee no poop policy and they're pretty good at following it too 😊
I like to always tell people that the traditionally ugly birds are actually some of the sweetest and the traditionally beautiful birds are A-holes. Ducks, swans, peacocks, all of them are beautiful but not nice. Turkeys, pheasants, kiwi and the always belittled vulture are actually quite nice. There’s a bird around the lakes that I cannot identify but it has a crane like figure, white body, but it’s head is devoid of feathers it almost looks skeletal. Creepy but a very sweet natured animal, patiently waits for snacks while the ducks rush and attack me.
Sounds like a stork.
The bird you describe sounds kind of like an American wood stork or possibly some kind of ibis.
@@suchomimustenerensis5302 Looked it up last night. Correct! You guys are amazing at bird identifying!
There's a crane at a park I fish at that will pose for photos every now and again. I feel like training it.
I have pilgrim geese that politely wait for me to hand them treats. The most they'll do is nibble so gently on my pants that I don't realize they're trying to get my attention half the time. The ducks are very much snatch and run, while climbing all over my feet lol.
I nominate mound-builder birds for the most dramatic birthing experience award. These "mound-builder" birds are like the horror movie version of a phenix. Their parents bury them alive and they fight their way out of their shells and then out of these grave-like covered pits. Then, with fully winged adult like bodies they go on their merry way. Badass.
I loved every bit of this video. I want more bird videos in this channel
"...corkscrew p...."
And with that, the impression I get of Clint as a male version of Dr. Lindsay Doe's infectious enthusiasm is brought another notch closer...😂
I can't help but think when Clint goes to the zoo, there's all sorts of unnecessary drama.
Maybe unnecessary, but high education and entertainment value
Clint saying "you wouldn't eat a quail because they're so dang cute" meanwhile I'm gearing up getting ready to go bird hunting my German Shorthaired Pointer....
Feels bad man
🎉⚠️QUAIL VIDEO INCOMING⚠️🎉
BUTTON/KING quail are essentially the hamsters of birds, or of dinosaurs you should say. I would say that when it comes to birds, parrots get too much attention. You can get and hatch quail eggs right out of the mail - not a lot of pets you can do that with
Love the phylogeny videos! How about one covering the raptors and/or ravens?
One of my favorite episodes seeing Clint in such joy hahaha
I raise exotic pheasants, ducks, and geese and this is by far my favorite video I’ve seen on Clint’s Reptiles. There are not enough videos like this out there
Love it when Clint lights up in his videos, either because he is passionate or because he can't help laughing!
"Promiscuous goose, wherever you are, I'm all alone and it's you that I want."
Do we have much of a fossil record of the birds that predated the end-Cretaceous* extinction? And if so do we have enough of a record before and after to identify any of the bird lineages that _didn't_ make it?
* I automatically typed "K-T extinction" first because I went to university in the 90s, god I'm old.
I'm never going to look at spiral pastas the same again. thanks Clint!
13:11, Turkey in Portuguese(Brazilian at least) is called "peru" which is also a colloquial way of calling the penis.
So the discussion was quite appropriate LOL
I am henceforth calling swans, long neck ducks. XD
"Mitochondria, the POWERHOUSE of the cell."
Thank you for that throwback to school, Clint
"Cloacal Kisser" is a phrase I didn't need to know
It gives me so much joy to watch eps like this when Clint is feeling himself 🙂 SNOODS
Considering what happened in the bloodworm video an this one has a viewer discretion ill not eat my breakfast during this
This episode was epic. I'd love a video on just the new world Turkey and its closest relatives.
Clint is why I get up early on Saturdays.
Please make a video on honey bees 🐝 🍯.
I've been breeding turkeys most of my life. They are so much fun. If you treat them well they are so affectionate and sweet
currently writing an essay on false history and Thanksgiving is one of my prime examples. By all accounts the first "thanksgiving" was held in Florida, by Spaniards, potentially as far back as ~1550. Moderns thanksgiving became a thing because in the mid 1700s, the descendants of pilgrims were losing political and cultural influences. To try and regain their influence, they launched a propaganda campaign, and the (totally made up lol) story of thanksgiving was at the center of it. Fast forward to the mid 1800s, and a woman by the name of Sarah Joseph Hale (author of Mary had a little lamb) discovered the story, and was so taken by the story she went on to propose it be made into a national holiday to 5 sitting presidents before Abraham Lincoln finally did.
It always amazes me that people seem to think people living in the Americas didn't have autumnal harvest feasts until Europeans showed up. I
Wow, Clint was worked up today. either these are some of his favorite animals ever, or he tripled his coffee intake. regardless, it made for a super fun video!
He's Mormon, so he doesn't drink coffee.
"Snood" it possibly derived from (or has some relation with) the Dutch word "Snuit", which means the defining expression of the face without naming the actual part. Like "Face", but a more specific area of the face, the combination of nose and mouth.
The term is also used to describe a type of knitted hair bags (for lack of a better term) that women wore in the Middle Ages.
@@furrowingowl5906 As far as I can tell from looking into 16th century records snood was not the term used (at least in English I haven't got the language skills to check other languages) in that period. Caul or coif may have been used for women's head coverings. I looked it up and according to online etymology dictionary snood meant hair ribbon in the Medieval period and wasn't applied to hair nets until the 1930s.
"Many of my best friends are safari drivers" lolol
I mean, if a pet dinosaur is the goal, a chicken embro can be modified quite easily using modern editing techniques into a little Jurassic Park style abomination that, statistically speaking, shouldn't suffer from some form of gigantism cancer that transforms them into a kaiju.
Seeing Clint so happy eating cereal sealed the deal. I ordered the variety pack with the code. I want to experience a mouth circus🤙
I really loathe guinea fowl for similar reasons as you do. Those birds will NOT stay out of the road! Their favorite hobby is kissing car tires. They are the same color as the road too. A person can /try/ not to hit them, but somehow their little bird brains are determined to cross the rainbow bridge with the help of the Michelin Man. Also, I hate the sounds they make.
Turkeys are awesome. Now I want Mexican turkeys.
I told another mom in one of my chicken groups that she can assure her son that roosters don't have that body part, but ducks sure do and it's a corkscrew shape, and that he should share that fact during show-n-tell because his 1st grade class will love him, and so will his teacher, though they'll have to wait to get to the teacher's lounge to laugh about it.
This is one of the best comments ever!
Youre having too much fun Clint! Dont stop!
Hey Clint, just a little fun fact here even though galiformes don't have penises in the same way that some of the waterfowl do, there are ones that have what I like to call nubbins. They're very small penises and some of them range from just a little speck to up to about a centimeter long. It's unclear what the purpose is, and individuals within a single species (such as chickens) can vary wildly on how large it is, but they are not completely absent of their members which probably shows that ancestrally there was some variation as well with some lineages dropping it completely and others taking it to extremes.
Very cool!
I don't think it implies much about the ancestral condition. Reproductive organ differences are a common sort of variation / speciation.
I’m a safari driver too. Thankfully our Guinea fowl are free roaming across the park. But I get the fear of hitting small birds. Every year we get dozens of Rhea chicks. Let me tell ya, those suckers are tiny, and curious, and can crawl under the vehicle. Terrifying stuff.
Clint's knowledge of taxonomy is astonishing to me. I tend to have a decent memory when it comes to academic things, but I couldn't imagine retaining all of the obscure names with their endless branching.
Also, side note: the more and more I learn about Alexander Hamilton, the more he seems like just a bad guy.
Hamilton was a bad dude
All of America's fouding fathers were monsters. They were essentially the Jeff Bezos / Elon Musk of their time, but with slaves so they were even worse.
A "powerhouse" is a house... that has power.
One of my favorite episodes ever! I love all of the dinosaurs in this video and the comedy is over the top hilarious 🤣 ❤
I want to see a "Cassowary, is it the best pet dinosaur for you?"
There are wild turkeys all over where I am now. I love to watch them. They had chicks earlier this year and man were they adorable. I'll cluck at them and they'll look up at me. It's cute. Thanks Clint for the video.
Glad you added the last bit .. otherwise I would have left in a bit of a shock
pleaseee do parrot's phylogenetic tree! (guest star Cheyenne from Snake Discovery?)
the best ATP cycle explanation I have ever heard. I have a vested interest because mine's very broken- my mitchondria are not the powerhouses of anything. (BTW- I got this: A powerhouse is the lil building where the physical kinetic energy source source such as gas-heated steam or geothermal power runs a dynamo to convert the kinetic energy into electricity!) I do hope you do more videos about Birds! (even if youtube doesn't like scientific mentions of animal reproductive anatomy)
Clint had way too much fun with this one.

i relate to a guinea fowl so hard ngl. small a lil stupid n i just wanna cozy up under things
Same
Does Clint love quail more than Gorillas?!? Loved the lesson, especially the dark meat/light meat explanation, never looked into it, never thought of it, but now it has me super intrigued! I love a science/food mashup.
I also would love to try a baked Swan, but apparently that’s frowned upon?
great vid, just a little correction on the name of peafowls in spanish, it is "pavo real" but it would translate more to royal turkey than real turkey, yes the word "real" can be translated into english as either real or royal depending on the context, in the case of the birds it is definitely royal, as the colors and the feathers on their heads resemble a crown.
That's actually a common misconception.
Here is a great explanation if you read Spanish: blog.lengua-e.com/2017/por-que-el-pavo-real-se-llama-pavo-real/
Well I just found my new UA-cam channel to binge on lol this is great!
"WE'LL DO IT LIVE!"
My favorite channel at the moment
Clint, I think turkeys are so interesting you should do a whole video on them sometime. I remember watching a video which spent probably half an hour talking only about how they communicate with each other and how complex their language was. Their social structure was amazing too.
Do you remember the name of the video?
@@crustyduck8073Yes. "My life as a turkey" and the man's name is Joe Hutto.
@@swerne01 Thanks
I always love when Clint sneaks a phylogeny video by us but I really wish he would label the phylogeny series better. I'm always afraid I'm gonna miss one. XD
I wish I had a better way to indicate that. I can say, if one of our videos has an irregular title, it's probably a phylogeny.
@@ClintsReptiles I've been studying the ways of UA-cam for a long time and there is a way. Since it is clearly a series the way most UA-camrs designate their regular series videos from one offs is some kind of hyphen, bracket, or parenthetical punctuation followed by the name of the series at the end (name it as you wish but as simple as "phylogeny video" would suffice). That also has the added bonus of bringing the videos up when someone searches for them or for anything related to phylogenies.
You don't necessarily need to change the already published videos but it would help the algorithm recommend them. I also highly recommend organizing all the phylogeny videos into a playlist, especially if you don't want to update dozens of video titles
Great suggestion. I plan to adopt this! I do have a playlist!

lol that ending got me hahahahahahahahahha
Friendly reminder #15 to make a video about North American rat snake taxonomy.
🌵I just found your channel on a TikTok type platform. As an 82 yr old lifelong student, I gotta say... you are an AWESOME instructor!!! I do so enjoy your style of presentation! The first episode was about turkeys. Absolutely hilarious!! What a thoroughly enjoyable way to learn!! ANYTHING!! I'm subscribed!! ❤❤️❤️👍
the title had my curiosity and now you have my turktention
There are so few opportunities to use our free time to grow, learn, and relax at the same time. Your work enables so many people to do exactly that! Such a lovely video today, so I just have to take a moment to show my immense appreciation for you and your team's energy and dedication. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
