A transcript of a couple of female BellBirds. Clare: Hello Mary! Mary: What? Clare: What? Mary: I said! What Did You Just Say! Clare: Oh. I Said Hi! Mary: Oh. Hello! Clare! Clare: How is your husband treating you? Mary: What!? Clare: How! Husband! Treating! You! Mary: Oh. He sang to me again! Clare: What!? Mary: He! Sang! Again! Clare: Oh. That's! Wonderful! Mary: I Know! He's a keeper! Clare: What?!
There's a primary school teacher in Belfast, Northern Ireland, whose yell can reach 121.7 decibels. She's been the world record holder ever since she beat her own sister back in 1992.
i think i heard that bird's call, here in Texas...oh wait, that was just a Severe Weather alert on my phone... also, imagine if Humans did the same thing: sitting at a bar, an attractive girl sits three stools down, "HEY BABY!! CAN I BUY YOU A DRINK??"
"Synthetic meat can mimic the taste and texture of real meat, but has less nutritional value." All I'm hearing is that we get to eat more meat. Chop chop, scientists. I need my 48oz lab-grown porterhouse.
That's nice and all, but they aren't thinking of how the bone effects the flavor of the meat while it's cooking. That ribeye, or those ribs, or the chicken legs you love will never be the same. Atleast they're using real meat unlike vegans. We evolved canines for a reason, we're omnivores. We are designed to eat other animals and the berries and bushes next to their corpse after we drag it down.
I find it curious that they speak about the birds' rib size, shape of the throat and how much they can open their mouths, and yet they don't mention the combination of frequencies that makes this sound so loud, which to me seems to matter a great deal to the loudness factor of these birds' sound.
I'm one of those dudes that likes to sleep with the window open. Usually it's the centre "quaterlight" window. A few weeks back a tweety git decided to give it maximum beans sitting on the lower frame of said quaterlight. The little feathery sod was way smaller than my fist but made the loudest racket I can remember with zero warning. To put this in perspective I have been to Motorhead gigs at Hammersmith Odeon. I nearly ended up dangling from my ceiling light as this was about 4:30 AM and I was fast asleep before the noisy avian asshat started.
Short story: It's a family joke. I'm not a kind of girl that does a lot of camping. I was born and been living my life in a small city in Finland. But my dad is from the countryside and we have our summer cottage far away north by a lake. Well, ones visiting there I wanted to try to sleep one night in a tent, just to know how it is like. It was quite relaxing until the birds came to trees around my tent and started to sing. It was loud!! I couldn't sleep. I went inside (the cottage) and told my mom: "No way im gonna sleep there, the birds are singing too loud!" Never have I seen my mom laugh so hard in my life.
I remember going to the zoo here in Brazil when I as young and visiting the bellbirds. There were about 20 of them in the habitat and we couldn't get very close because of the loud screaming. We had to cover our ears otherwise it would be very painful.
Listen to the opening of Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin. These birds are the early forebearers of rock benders, imparting their rockbending skills to worthy humans, who go on to try these mating rituals at strange collections known as 'concerts'.
Some birds: Hey pretty lady. I have a nest made from the fanciest and finest of twigs and am fully prepared and qualified to be your mate. This bird: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
If I were a predator and the tiny hamster bird emitted a noise louder than an elementary fire alarm I would think twice about going after that bird. At the very least it would startle me.
If you take plain ordinary white tofu and freeze it, and then thaw it out and press out most of the water, you get a texture very similar to that of cooked poultry white meat (chicken or turkey), which is pleasantly chewy in texture, and it also absorbs the flavors of whatever sauces and seasonings it's cooked with.
@@regular-joe You have to let it freeze hard, and then thaw it out (in the refrigerator) until it's flexible again. Then you have to press some of the excess water out; the usual method involves a large flat plate and a stack of heavy books or canned goods. I actually bought a tofu press from Amazon, which is just a couple of slabs of plastic with wing nuts to tighten them together, and it's a lot easier than piling stuff up. Once the tofu is as "squeezed" as I want it, I cut it into cubes and stir-fry it. It's fun to add some cut-up chicken breast, because the textures are so similar, and then I put in a handful of peanuts or cashews for crunch, and lots of ginger and hot pepper and black beans for flavor (I'm allergic to garlic, so I improvise), and maybe watercress or bean sprouts for a vegetable. I'm a shameless omnivore, but I've surprised vegetarian friends of mine with what I've learned to do with tofu. I like tofu perfectly fine *AS* tofu. I just don't like it when it tries to pretend to be cheesecake or scrambled eggs.
This raises the question. How do animals capable of achieving such obscenely high volumes not deafen themselves in the process? Is it that their hearing is already worse than that of the average American grandpa with an ear horn?
Birds are crazy like that. As a proud owner of an umbrella cockatoo, his shrieks can be clearly heard over a mile away, and yes this has been tested. And that's just if he hasn't had his food bowl topped up
The bird is also found in the Guianas (Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname) and Venezuela. The previous record holder of the loudest call was the screaming piha, also found in the Amazon!
I don't even need to watch the whole vid to know that the Bellbird is LOUD. There's a Screaming Piha at the National Aquarium in Baltimore and when I was there this summer it was quite talkative, and very very loud. To know that there is a bird that is louder makes me reach for a pair of earmuffs.
Chicken will be the hardest to replace, because it’s so cheap and fast to produce. I’m not against lab meat, but it has to be cheaper, faster, and better tasting to underdog it’s way into the market.
Another article on this whipbird mentioned that as soon as the male starts to scream at her, the female turns around & takes off! Maybe what he's screaming is "Baby, don't go!"?
Well, animals for now. But as it is a single fibrous protein, you can also produce it in a bacterial or fungal bio reactor. As if they wouldn't think about this beforehand... 🙄
Isn't calling lab grown meat "synthetic" a bit of a misnomer? I've been kinda following the idea for a long time, and understood it as actual meat tissue that was grown. They can already do it with beef, but the biggest issue was scaling it up to be cost competitive. Was an article in Wired I read many many years ago.
One of the guys who did the screaming bird research talked to my intro bio class a few weeks ago because he works at our college and he said that the Brazilian researchers are really worried right now because the area where the birds live is on fire!

loudest human scream is 129dB

A jet airplane is ~130 decibels

Gives some kind of sideways commentary on the human fashion world 😆

Breath taking
Female: Give me your lung
Those birds are crazy. Imagine someone trying to woo you but instead of using pick up lines they shout in your ear as loud as they can. 😂
Isn't that why music venues are so loud? To force people to do that?
More like they toss their pickup lines through a megaphone.

At least the chicken is not on the Foul Fowl List.
If the old defender is called the "screaming piha" they should rename this new champion the "Amazonian white *dekaBel* bird".

This is a case of sexual selection, typically with sexual selection that isn't the case. Think peacock.

This made me belly laugh 😂
As soon as I saw the title I thought "This is like that bird in the swamp episode of Avatar😯🤣"
Scrolled down to see if someone mentionned it x) They even made it look really similar to the real bird.
Haha forgot about that one!
There's a primary school teacher in Belfast, Northern Ireland, whose yell can reach 121.7 decibels. She's been the world record holder ever since she beat her own sister back in 1992.
It sounds like an emergency alarm
when I scream at a possible mate they run away screaming and call the police
You're doing it wrong you need to scream *louder*
Your call is too quiet, try it again with a megaphone.
2:08 now I'm just thinking about a hamster that Loud 😂
i think i heard that bird's call, here in Texas...oh wait, that was just a Severe Weather alert on my phone...

That's nice and all, but they aren't thinking of how the bone effects the flavor of the meat while it's cooking. That ribeye, or those ribs, or the chicken legs you love will never be the same. Atleast they're using real meat unlike vegans. We evolved canines for a reason, we're omnivores.
We are designed to eat other animals and the berries and bushes next to their corpse after we drag it down.
Oh Hank! You are so incredibly scientific, well spoken, and so smart. It never ceases to amaze me!
Tired: Peacocking
Wired: Bellbirding
Can't thank you enough 4 presenting this analysis/&dissection🎥👑
I find it curious that they speak about the birds' rib size, shape of the throat and how much they can open their mouths, and yet they don't mention the combination of frequencies that makes this sound so loud, which to me seems to matter a great deal to the loudness factor of these birds' sound.

Me: "Well now I need to change my underpants. Thanks bird"
bell bird? more like deci-bell bird, heh, am i right?
Meat without the unique taste of *torture* just isn't the same.

Using animal based scaffolding to reduce reliance on farm animals. Where'd they get the gelatin from? 🤔
LMAO!! I didn't even think about that 😂😂
I was about to comment the same thing.
Well damn, valid point I hadn't thought of that lol.
The bird's call belongs on the soundtrack of a science fiction film that takes inspiration from the native species of the alien planet.
Some birds: Hey pretty lady. I have a nest made from the fanciest and finest of twigs and am fully prepared and qualified to be your mate.
This bird: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
So what you're saying is..... it's the perfect gift for an obnoxious relative or enemy if they're into exotic birds.....
"Hello there little birdie! Wanna tweet for me?"
White Bellbird: *electronic sound as loud as thunder inside the house*
*"AAAA-"*
Yup, sounds perfect.
Ah yes, the red-tailed Wifebird
I literally just found out about these birds earlier this week. I love their call.
So do think some dinosaurs may have sounded like this atleast one or a couple of them.
If I were a predator and the tiny hamster bird emitted a noise louder than an elementary fire alarm I would think twice about going after that bird. At the very least it would startle me.
They scream so loud right at their potential mate to try and deafen them so they can't hear the competition!
Huh... Vegeta should feel justified now. His method of attracting a mate is now confirmed to exist in nature.
*"PAY ATTENTION TO ME WOMAN!"*
I love the sources
If you can live while being a noisy prey animal, you're probably worth keeping as a mate.
Now I'm imagining a tiny bird emitting the Mass Effect reaper sound.
Very interesting and very strange for such a small bird to sing (scream) so loud
So so soooooo awesome to learn! Thanks to all you and everything you do SciShow! Glad I subscribed and well definitely tell others to subscribe. 😀
Ah, the sounds of nature... the sound of millions of insects, birds, and other animals desperately trying to get laid.
Or ward off predators, or communicate to others. But yeah, it is mostly animals trying to get laid, XD
What do we do with all the EXTRA animals if we remove them from the chain????
I think I heard these birds making background forest sounds in Jurassic Park.

You can tell the Screaming Piha isn't even close to being as loud as bellbirds without measuring it and hearing it recorded on computer.
This raises the question. How do animals capable of achieving such obscenely high volumes not deafen themselves in the process? Is it that their hearing is already worse than that of the average American grandpa with an ear horn?

Kakapo parrot call is 132 decibels. 125
WAIT a minute, I thought the kakapo with its 132dB sound is the loudest bird... is that wrong?
I mean are we not gonna talk about the thing on its face? At first I thought thought it had a snake in it's beak.
I have been waiting for this exact video.
This is, in fact, how my future husband got my attention as a mate as well.
The bird is also found in the Guianas (Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname) and Venezuela. The previous record holder of the loudest call was the screaming piha, also found in the Amazon!
It's almost like, he said exactly that in the video

I dunno man, seems pretty quiet compared to the screaming of a pissed off cockatoo.
I complain when there are bones in my fish. Now I have to contend with scaffolding in my steak.
If this thing were to be T-rex size, it would be the most terrorifying apex predator.

What IS the loudest animal? Overall?
I believe that belongs to a whale either there was a certain species whose call is about 180 decibels or so
