I really just want a five second long video of zefrank staring at the screen like in his profile pic, and then looking dejected and saying "Jerry, no."
We found a hummingbird on the ground today. He wasn't really moving, and my mother asked if he was sick, injured or dead. But thanks to this video, I have a feeling he might've just been in torpor. So I nudged him a bit- he was stuck really hard to the ground, and twitched just a little in response to being touched. So I looked up what to do with a bird in torpor, and dad kept him warm. He's currently sitting in a makeshift nest on the back patio, with a tiny bowl of sugar water and a heating pad to keep him warm in the winter cold. He's a lot more active now, eating the sugar water, and making a recovery pretty quickly. So thank you Zefrank, you helped me save a bird's life!
@@hannahruth365 It took awhile, but he eventually started waking up out of his torpor and spread his wings. It took some time for him to actually try flying off, but he eventually took to the air himself, and I think he still comes around to sip off the feeder out back.
@@rhetoric5173 I'm pretty sure it was torpor considering it took him only about an hour total to get his energy back and start flying again. Heat and sugar water did the trick, so I'm like 95% sure it was torpor.
Honestly, yeah. The only classes I honestly could never improve in were the ones where it was mindless monotone droning for an hour straight and dead silence any other time
Did a science fair project on hummingbirds. After six weeks of constantly feeding these biiiirds, we had to stop for fear that someone would get maimed. One particularly large rufus was VICIOUS.

About 20 years ago, we had 3 feeders up for humming birds and routinely had more than a dozen feeding at the same time. It was amazing, like watching WWI aerial combat scenes. They seemed much more interested in fighting the others off than in feeding. The encounters often produced these loud reports, like maybe hitting two pieces of hardwood together, it was wing-contact! They are vicious mfers for sure.
Right? Everytime I hang mine there's a troop with 2 in particular that are REALLY just mean. And woodpeckers. They LOVE the hummingbird feeder but have to knocking the thing to get the liquid out pouring sugar water all over my back porch
When I first moved to Alaska we were camping and when I went to pee behind a berry bush and nearly had the sht scared outta me by a loud buzzing noise that turned out to be a hummer dive bombing me! Relieved it wasnt a bear but shocked that the tiny birds were so vicious! Then after building our house my husband wired big branches to our deck for them outside the window so we could watch them perch between sips at the feeders. I learned they were Rufous hummingbirds and migrated from Mexico to S.E. Alaska (I lived in Sitka ) every year and was the longest migration of all the hummers and most other migratory birds as well. They are also known to be one of the most aggressive and territorial. I'm probably biased but I think they are also the most beautiful. They are golden orange colors that shimmer like goldfish. And they sure put on a show. Dozens of them sometimes buzzing it out trying to lay claim. I called them my Golden Birds and got to enjoy them every one of the 20 years I lived there.
@@adriannespring8598 It was a pretty big porch, they were 10-15 feet apart. I think I needed to make them to sign a non-belligerence contract before allowing them to feed.
Your video saved a bird’s life today. I work construction, there was a “frozen” hummingbird on the cement floor today. Everyone was stealing over it assuming it was dead. Stiff as a board, no movement, eyes closed, no detectable pulse or breathing. I remembered seeing this video a while ago. I took the bird in my truck, found some orange juice, and brought him back to life over several minutes. He flew away about 10 minutes ago as I write this comment. Thank you!
"But of course, a well-hung feeder is the motherlode. ...Freud would have a _field day_ with that sentence, Jerry. You need help." I cannot get over the banter. It's so good.
@@shaunjimbangan1166 Sigmund Freud had a lot of weird stuff evolving around mother's and boobs and all kinds of just weird crazy shit. So to put the words "well hung feeder is the motherland" would be indicative of what Freud believed. That is by far nowhere near some of the craziest shit that he believed and taught... Look it up if you want an interesting laugh
@@shaunjimbangan1166 A "Freudian slip" is the idea that if someone is talking about one subject but thinking about another, then they may slip up and accidentally say something that combines he two subjects. And since Freud had a lot to say about sex, usually when people talk about "Freudian slips" they mean in the context of the second subject being sex.
I always ask myself why did hummingbirds evolve to need to eat two times their body weight, but then Mr. Documentarian says, "as if nature ever does things the easy way," and now I am satisfied. Thank you, you majestic Hummybeard.
There are moths that have no mouth so they starve to death from the moment they become moths so they literally “have no mouth and must fuck NOW”. Evolution is fucking stupid sometimes.
The Aztecs knew how hardcore hummingbirds are, considering that one of their war/sacrifice gods (also the world's fifth sun, long story) was called the "hummingbird of the West".
Funny rhing is he was born from a feather that landen on a aztec godess stomach and she got inpregnated. And almost all his brothers and sisters wanted to kill him and their mom but while they were marching towards the temple to kill their mom he was born and he came out already in the war attire and whit a weapon in the form of a serpent and he slaughtered all the siblings trying to kill him and his mom . He dismembered his older sister and she became the moon . Man aztec lore is interesting as fk
@@namedrop721 Well damn xD super cynical but sad to say I've got to admit you're probably right.. Bleh. The world is just soo great right now huh haha.
Here because the Dr Don Powers cited in the description is actually my current ornithology professor. This video is absolutely fantastic, it had my friend and I crying in our professor's office
“the fairies don’t even try to ride these ones, they’re too dangerous, but if they find a dead one they’ll take the beak off and make two saws out of it to cut down twigs to make toothpicks. that’s how they’re made and thats how the fairies put food on the table, and i’ll s*** in a cup of you say otherwise” - why is no one talking about this!? it’s so good!
I used to love using your vids with my 10th grade biology students... nothing like a little mildly inappropriate innuendo to spice up the cool animal facts and amazing imagery. Retired now but still laughing out loud as I enjoy your work.
"As it sticks it's beak into the flowers hole it gets the flowers male stuff all over it's face- Jerry. I can't read this. I don't care if that's how the flowers get all pregnant. It's smut!"
My late husband loved to argue with me that hummingbirds could never (or did never) stop flying or flittering..But I had to prove it to him,as I saw them roost in my mesquite tree many times where my feeders hung.They do stop,they will just sit on a branch and rest.
The beauty of ZeFrank is that you actually ENJOY being educated. I'm now thinking how fascinating hummingbirds are and how much they could teach us about conditions like diabetes
Zefrank: "But this isn't some hiding a bunch of KitKats in random drawers around the apartment kind of sugar addiction. You know who you are." Me: *I did NOT asked to be called out like this*
I live in the PNW and for the last couple of years, we've had days of a hard freeze. I noted my feeder was frozen and tried to take it down to thaw ... and one of my birds got SO upset. So much so, in fact, he was licking the popsicle of the feeder while I was holding it. I stood there for nearly 5 minutes before he got enough. Took the feeder indoors and melted, and then wrapped for insulation, and that worked. Just a few towels secured with rubber bands. Had to do so again this year, and it worked. No sadly desperate birds trying to eat from my hand. Whew. However, now that it's warmed up, they still fight. One will eat, pausing to look for another, and then a fight. These little guys are viscous. ALL of them fight for the feeder, males, females ... they all fight all the time for food. Females will fight males, males will fight males, females will fight females ... all for food. However, when a female with an egg she's not laid yet finds the food, seems like everyone else stops fighting. She can sit there, looking like a golf ball, perched on the feeder, sleeping (and nearly falling backwards), and no others bother her. She can eat and sleep and no one attacks her like every other bird does. It's pretty cool, because you have confirmation that the specific bird is not only female, but that she's pregnant. Pregnancy, apparently, equals "Off limits". And frankly, it doesn't have a whit to do with any male. It would appear, in my observation over years, that a pregnant female is off limits, period. Mom can have all of the food she wants first. She's not attacked. She will disappear for a couple of weeks once she's laid her eggs, and then she'll be back ... fighting off everyone else as normal. All we have to do after is look at the colors of the males and the lesser of the colors of the females, and we know which offspring belongs to which female. We've had Redneck (male), Gaia (a moss green female),, who produced Orangello (Orange jello ... long story which was a super bright orange). Another "redneck" female. Brown at any other angle that I could see. The point in this long response is that you have to know your birds before you can tell the offspring of what pairing. As always, females are dull and males are bright ... but that may be false depending on the light in which you view them. Hard to tell, so take notes. Or not, and just enjoy.
Fun fact: It was believed that Aztec Warriors would be reincarnated as hummingbirds when they died. Makes a lot of sense when you see how cracked out these little birds are.
@@hakimdhaou www.britannica.com/topic/Huitzilopochtli Nope. Huitzilopochtli’s name is a cognate of the Nahuatl words huitzilin, “hummingbird,” and opochtli, “left.” Aztecs believed that dead warriors were reincarnated as hummingbirds and considered the south to be the left side of the world; thus, his name meant the “resuscitated warrior of the south.” His other names included Xiuhpilli (“Turquoise Prince”) and Totec (“Our Lord”). His nagual, or animal disguise, was the eagle.
Jerry is the unsung hero of True Facts. In all seriousness, that butt-feather wind-tunnel thing (never thought I'd type that out) surprised me with how legitimately fascinating I found it to be! What a wonderful world.
I swear this was one of the funniest episodes in awhile. When he slowed down that one birds sound which sounded like a quick fart I almost died laughing. I can't imagine how much fun he has making these. We need a blooper reel of him recording and laughing at the shit he says.
This is using a memory technique developed by Harry Lorayne, Barry Farber and Jerry Lucas, among others. Make a fact or idea dirty, sexy or weird and you can easily remember it. The idea came from ancient writers on memory who said any thing odd, strange weird,, etc., we remembered easily. We learned more about hummingbirds in 12 minutes than hours of classroom instruction or reading a thick, heavy book. And we will be able to remember it.
@@AlexaY82 but the point was that we learned more per minute than we ever could from a book. Books are great for storing information, not so good at teaching it.
I have had the same hummingbird claim my yard for the last 5 years. We call him Sassy Boy. He's a Black Chinned Hummingbird and he's a bit smaller than the other Black Chins and his beak is a bit shorter as well. We have 5 feeders in the backyard and we can get up to 6 or 7 birds at one time.
I watched this video like 5 times and this sentence evaded me every time. I knew nothing of this man; and so went on down a google sink hole. Now the entire paragraph makes sense. My dude, I don’t even know if “true facts” understand the master class that excerpt entails.
I would like ZeFrank to narrate my biography after I die. That way my life will sound way more interesting than it actually was. "That is how a Sage do... or did. She's dead."
“Imagine impressing your date on a picnic by climbing up a large hill then running down as fast as you can and right when you pass them spreading your cheeks and (fart noise). That is how a hummingbird do.”
True story, a friend of ours actually got speared in the chest by a hummingbird that was flying by when he was walking around his wood shed. That had to hurt like hell. Damn meth birds need to watch where they're going. Don't drugs, or nectar kids.
This was the first of these videos I saw and it’s still my favorite; I love that someone actually has the nerve to expose the awesome freakiness of hummingbirds.
God this may be the best one yet "Imagine impressing your date by climbing up a large hill, then running down as fast as you can, and right when you pass them, spreading your cheeks and *bird noise(?)* "
@@courier6402 Surprisingly, it really went well! So I tried hard all day not to leak any gas just for this special event. When I finally saw my dream girl later this night at the bar I just ran past her while creating a "ppppfffffffffffft"! noise.... Well ok, while running it was more like a locomotive pfft! - pfft! - pfft! - pfft! - pfft !-noise.... When I returned to the bar, she literally clung to me like glue! Not even the ripped dude who was flirting with her stood a chance! Hummingbirds have it all figured out!

Every line in this video is a quote worth laughing at. My favorite is the "I mean if you had your own wind tunnel you'd put all kinds of crap in--not a baby! Not mayonnaise! But definitely the butt feathers of a bird."
@@Tallahite but he say you wouldn't put those two random, unrelated things in there. I think it's just bc it could be dangerous or scary for the mayo baby and the mayo would just be messy. Potential for scientific advancement is rather low with those two items. But bi-yerd butt feathers? Now there's a recipe for incrementally advanced the pool of human knowledge in an obscure, highly-specialized manner
I volunteered for decades for a bird banding program with an ornithologist with the DNR, had a blast and learned a lot. Really appreciate your delivery!

Thank you for this episode. My grandma is dying from stage 4 heart/lung cancer. It's bad and theres nothing they can do. She loves hummingbirds and this video gave her a laugh and took her away from it all for a bit. Made me cry, again thank you for this one

Before it is a moth it is the tomato hornworm My wife leaves them alone on her tomato plants which they devour after they devour them the tomato plants usually leaf out and provide a bumper crop of huge tomatoes which in turn the blooms are pollinated by you guessed it the hummingbird moth making the huge tomatoes and healthy plants This usually occurs during the worst heat of summer so the tomatoes are looking awful and not producing anyway so no big deal if they get munched to the stem why no one around has any veggies growing especially tomatoes my wife's plants are falling over with fruit healthy and green She is totally organic no chemicals or unnatural fertilizers period just rabbit ,duck ,goose ,and chicken manure from our pet farm animals from the compost pile also gets horse and cow from other farms especially our nearby organic dairy farm We have no bug problems we have plenty of beneficials ,birds ,dragonflies ,toads ,lizards and frogs so everything stays in balance Sometimes the tomato hornworm is a Luna Moth there are 2 species of hornworm in our area one grows into the Hummingbird Moth other into Luna Moths She usually just plants a few extra tomato plants in her butterfly gardens for the moths She believes the hornworm and tomato have a symbiotic relationship of sorts The plants not eaten on are never as healthy or productive and have disease issues the ones who get eaten down are simply gorgeous afterwards with no fungal or disease problems during their season She always has more tomatoes than she can use It is a shame people are always hurting the hornworm in cruel ways when in fact it is the best thing for your tomato plants She gets the the worms are eating up your gardens and herbs you need to spray nope that would be my butterflies what I planted them for She had a puny bronze fennel about 2 feet in height after the caterpillars ate it down a few times came back as a 7 foot giant about 4 feet around it was huge and lived for years in the garden just getting larger each year She divided it Hummers are amazing creatures my wife has one that sits on her shoulder out in the garden she rescued it as a baby caught in a spider web It has it's own feeders by the bedroom window and is a year round resident It will fly in the parrot's aviary in the winter and overwinter out of the cold It is funny to see this small bird sitting on the top of a huge parrot's cage They are cool with each other and it does resemble it's winter territory with all the plants She has her nest on the arbor beside the bedroom window each year in the vines quite a spoiled little hummingbird The Hummingbird Moths are so cool they feed alongside the hummers in the late evening but usually later on so flowers get pollinated both day and night
@🌹🌹SUMMER ROSE🌹🌹 Jerry is a fake supporting character that Ze Frank pretends to reference for comedic effect, often about a mistake or weird statement from 'Jerry'.
I had to rescue one from work once. During the warmer parts of the year we would have the doors open and oftentimes bugs would get caught in the big windows not knowing how to get out. Found a hummingbird moth the night of inventory and brought it outside. Caught so many things from dragonflies, moths, beetles, bees, butterflies... even a bird once.
"Imagine trying to impress your date on a picnic by climb..." I can't finish ... it's so damn hard to type when you're laughing like a hyena on a morphine toot! Another classic, Zefrank; you've brightened my day ... again.
Fun fact about hummingbirds: they are one of the only groups of birds to pee. Most birds convert their urea (the main waste product in urine) into uric acid. Uric acid is less toxic than urea, so it can be stored in the body in a more concentrated (and solid) form. This is important because in order to fly, a bird cant be carrying around a full bladder (urine is mostly water because urea is so toxic). However, since hummingbirds get way more water than they need from nectar, they have to be constantly excreting urine throughout the day.
Just think of a bouquet of plants' sex organs..... Hmmmm.... Is what they are afterall. And often clumps of plant sex organs are presented at weddings and FUNERALS! HAHAHA

I always ask myself why did hummingbirds evolve to need to eat two times their body weight, but then Mr. Documentarian says, "as if nature ever does things the easy way," and now I am satisfied. Thank you, you majestic Hummybeard.
”Evolve”
The entire strategy of life is basically just keep trying different things until something sticks, and don't fret the dead organisms.
It doesn’t have to make sense to humans. As long as creatures manage to reproduce themselves anything goes. That’s how nature do. 😁
There are moths that have no mouth so they starve to death from the moment they become moths so they literally “have no mouth and must fuck NOW”.
Evolution is fucking stupid sometimes.
Evolution is like a drunk college student cobbling together a meal. As long as it works it's getting used

Takes all the romance out of measuring.
Im not gonna lie that got me, it got me good😂😂
there's one country in the whole world still using the commonwealth measurement system. One that's the length of a football in feet.
I live in the PNW and for the last couple of years, we've had days of a hard freeze.
I noted my feeder was frozen and tried to take it down to thaw ... and one of my birds got SO upset. So much so, in fact, he was licking the popsicle of the feeder while I was holding it. I stood there for nearly 5 minutes before he got enough.
Took the feeder indoors and melted, and then wrapped for insulation, and that worked. Just a few towels secured with rubber bands.
Had to do so again this year, and it worked.
No sadly desperate birds trying to eat from my hand. Whew.
However, now that it's warmed up, they still fight. One will eat, pausing to look for another, and then a fight. These little guys are viscous. ALL of them fight for the feeder, males, females ... they all fight all the time for food. Females will fight males, males will fight males, females will fight females ... all for food.
However, when a female with an egg she's not laid yet finds the food, seems like everyone else stops fighting.
She can sit there, looking like a golf ball, perched on the feeder, sleeping (and nearly falling backwards), and no others bother her. She can eat and sleep and no one attacks her like every other bird does.
It's pretty cool, because you have confirmation that the specific bird is not only female, but that she's pregnant. Pregnancy, apparently, equals "Off limits". And frankly, it doesn't have a whit to do with any male.
It would appear, in my observation over years, that a pregnant female is off limits, period. Mom can have all of the food she wants first. She's not attacked. She will disappear for a couple of weeks once she's laid her eggs, and then she'll be back ... fighting off everyone else as normal.
All we have to do after is look at the colors of the males and the lesser of the colors of the females, and we know which offspring belongs to which female.
We've had Redneck (male), Gaia (a moss green female),, who produced Orangello (Orange jello ... long story which was a super bright orange). Another "redneck" female. Brown at any other angle that I could see.
The point in this long response is that you have to know your birds before you can tell the offspring of what pairing.
As always, females are dull and males are bright ... but that may be false depending on the light in which you view them.
Hard to tell, so take notes.
Or not, and just enjoy.
I love that you stood there. You = awesome.

Fun fact about hummingbirds: they are one of the only groups of birds to pee. Most birds convert their urea (the main waste product in urine) into uric acid. Uric acid is less toxic than urea, so it can be stored in the body in a more concentrated (and solid) form. This is important because in order to fly, a bird cant be carrying around a full bladder (urine is mostly water because urea is so toxic). However, since hummingbirds get way more water than they need from nectar, they have to be constantly excreting urine throughout the day.
Another one of the only birds to pee is the vulture, which will urinate on its own legs to keep cool while flying.

oh man, they totally missed out the chance to put in the jericho trumpets of a StuKa dive bomber there :D
🤣😂
Lol that happened!?
🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂💀
This brings so much joy to my life. I don't have the words to describe on how many levels I love these videos. Just great!
Who needs national geographic when you got this man giving us info on animals
"Seriously, Jerry, I'm trying to do the ending and you have a-- psychedelic bird baby taking a sh*t right onscreen."
So truly funny!! Dang hippies!
Hah! Yeah that was epic!
Before the video even started:
Me: This, is the Humming Byrrdd
ZeFrank: This, is the Humming Byrrdd
Me: :0
where's the "j" though? Bjyrrdd
I was waiting for it. As soon as he said it, I knew “this is gonna be a good one.”
Same! I knew he would say "the Humming Byurrrd"
Humming byürd
In my mind I said hooming byrrd
I love Ze's nature videos! I've said it before, and I'll say it again: National geographic needs to hire this amazing man to narrate their shows. The nature program could use him too. I know, tons of people would watch!
Totally Agree!!! 😂❤
"It's like MMA on a trapeze, but with swords. It's a Jet-Li movie". Now that's the cage match I WANT!
YUP!
Jet Li & friends: dressed like hummingbyrds.
On trapezes: also dressed like hummingbyrds.
With swords: even still dressed like hummingbyrds.
Captured on filum: by people dressed like drugged-out hummingbyrds, behbeh!
I lost count of the many different ways he called the hummingbirds addicts.
Just too funny, not sure what my audience would do if I changed my style on the 1000's of hummingbirds I feed here daily, LOL, thanks for the smile and cute facts, Robbie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Robbie, I am a fan of your videos and aspire to your level of hummingbirds. I would have laughed at you attempting this style. I know because I laughed until I coughed, cried and peed myself. This is just the absolute funniest thing. 🤪😂🤪😂🤪😂🤪😂🤪😂👍🏻
My husband came to see what I was laughing about and listened as he watched it and laughed until I owed myself again. We just keep looking at each other and saying “he farted”.
@@jillboehm-reyna834 Not sure if I could do this, this was just too FUNNY, thanks, Robbie
@@jillboehm-reyna834 no
Well look whos here, hi Robbie and Gary. I bought my hummingbird bird feeder because of your videos.
WOW!! That's a lot of byerds you guys are enabling to get all tweaked out!!! You understand that usually leads to a fight where someone gets the crap beaked out of themselves, right?!?
You should add a "Jerry that's a moth" shirt to your merch store. That would make a hilarious gift
Whenever I’m depressed I watch this video. And no matter how terrible I feel I always laugh when he calls them puffball junkie birds.
Seriously, his videos are the cure to my depression. So big thanks to Zefrank!!!! Thanks for making my life a bit more bearable.
Me too...
Word
Agreed.
Sad cat diaries! Will definitely make you laugh. He's a genius.
idk why but YT had kept this show from me until today. That's a funny way of saying i found this channel today and i'm delighted. I have a headache from the uncontrollable diaphragm spasms it cau- It's just laughter jerry. it's just from me laughing
I've only seen 4 or 5 episodes but don't worry, i'm sure i'll stay up all night and watch all i can until i have to drive dangerously into work in the morning.
"...Tye-dye cam, frikin science hippies". Perfect
Why are you named after a Soviet AT rifle?
Sounded like something Sarge would say
This quote reminds me of the character Dr. Oaken played by Bret Spiner in the movie ID4.
If every school does Biology like this, the number of students learning will increase by 99.9%
My biology teacher didn't do voices, but he did pretty much this.
@jumblesgoodridge i understand the first part, but what did you mean by the second? Did you get fired over some bs?
The 0.01% is jerry
@jumblesgoodridge how is science racist and getting cancelled? Honestly curious, I've heard a lot of weird stuff but nothing like that yet
@jumblesgoodridge lol, that doesn't answer my question xD
....it does a little barrel roll right at the end, let's listen :
"Pip"
For science let's slow that down :
"Pap"
A little but more, for science..
"PARRRP"
Yup, that just about ended my plans to sleep... Tears, sides aching and pretty much waking up the whole household with intense laughter..
Thanks for that...
