There's always a lot to learn when watching your videos! Not to mention the care you take in documenting sources and showing pictures, beautiful pictures. Showing measurement translations Is much appreciated too. Thank you very much for another great video!!
Around 1,000 years ago, the ostrich was not the biggest bird in the world, and instead was around 3rd place behind the elephant bird of Madagascar and the moa of New Zealand.
Somehow, I always thought that emus were bigger than cassowaries. In fact, I thought rheas were bigger than cassowaries, too. I knew cassowaries were very large birds, but I thought ostriches, emus, and rheas were the true giants of the bird world. Now I realize that cassowaries are also true giants.
yeah, Cassowaries are indeed impressive birds, often underestimated compared to ostriches and emus. Adult cassowaries can stand up to 5.5 feet tall and weigh over 100 pounds, making them one of the heaviest bird species, alongside ostriches.
Australia really is Bird Paradise! A lot of people don't realise just how many massive bird species we have, and just how comfortable they are around humans. The (Avian) Dinosaurs still rule this ancient continent.
fun fact about the white tailed eagle its quite a recent settler in the netherlands and its doing very well but its because it like to hunt geese chicks instead of fish during their breeding season
Wondering why you didn't mention cranes or turkeys when talking about the runner-ups for North America. Even showed a Little Blue Heron (1:27) which is one of the smallest herons (12 oz). Anhingas are relatively small too. Cormorants and Loons are bigger than them but not mentioned.
Imagine if the Haast Eagle was still around. That would be scary as. Keas have been known to eat sheep alive and supplement that diet with windshield wiper blades 😂😂😂😂😂
That’s just not correct. The Wallace Line doesn’t mark the boundary between Australia and Asia. It’s an artificial boundary between bioregions rather than continents, and there are disputes about where it should even be. A fair chunk of Indonesia, as far west as Bali and Sulawesi are on the ‘Australian’ side of the line, but they’re definitely Asian islands.
@@KiraiKatsuji No, the Wallace line is nowhere near New Guinea. It’s starts just near Bali and runs north between Borneo and Sulawesi, almost as far up as the Phillipines.
Maned wolfs preying on Rhea's... yeah, mayby when the Rhea has ceased to be. In any other case he won't stand a chance. A maned wolf eats predominantly berries, insects, small mammals and occasionally a bird. But not this one. This one is way too big.
Owls are my favorite bird and I have no idea why. They just look cool.
they are very mysterious
They don't just look cool. They ARE cool
Your screen name does NOT check out, lol.
Agreed but I have a football fan bias towards owls🤣
Dans la Grèce Antique il étaient considérés comme un symbole de sagesse...😊

I believe that it was around 3000 years ago. 1000CE
@@jaydog-vz6vt 1000 CE is 1000 years ago. 1000 BC is 3000 years ago.
There were a couple species of each too, though not all were bigger than an ostrich
@@HuckleberryHim Yeah, I couldn't remember how many, but you're right.
Europe isn't last for once
hahaha yeah thanks to one fat swan
Antarctica isn’t last out of default for once
I mean it could have been when you see the "legally huntable" list of birds in France. Most birds are at risk or endangered or even worse
I hope you continue this series with other animal classifications; it’s very interesting
@@TsukiCoveI got next video idea
Ranking the least to most aggressive old world monkeys
45kgs for Emperor Penguins 😧. Damn, they're huge
When I was little, I thought that Emperor Penguins were as big as humans!
Can you imagine if that actually was the case?
@@AnimalsVehiclesAndMoreI've met people who were less than 45kg
Even though we are currently in the era of mammals,
Birds, still descendants of dinosaurs, are still thriving. They are strong.
And there are nearly twice as many species of birds as there are species of mammals.
birds ARE dinosaurs
We're still in the age of the dinosaurs. Birds are more widespread, numerous, & diverse than mammals. Mammals just happen to be bigger.
Difficult to forget here are how big the biggest birds of New Zealand and Madagascar were just a few centuries ago.

@@AncientWildTV Yep, and they seem more dangerous than most of the other big birds, too.
I dunno, in Philadelphia we have some Eagles that are well over 300lbs.
Did you mean 30Ibs?
@@HappyIshhhhh
The joke
Your head
@@RunD.Ones1s ?
@@HappyIshhhhh There's an American Football team in Philadelphia called the "Eagles." And some of the players would be over 300 lbs.
no way what eagle are you talking about the mighty bold eagle?

Mr. Tsuki, keep up the awesome work! ❤
will do :)
Im very surprised that the Wild turkey didn’t get a nod for North America. Some toms hit 25-30lbs. Records have hit 35+lbs
my uncle claims he got a 40lb tom 20 years ago and nobody believes him 😂
@@Wrecker-di1ie tbf I don’t believe him either lol
Excellent video! Please post more often.
this is as fast as i can get these longer videos out
@@TsukiCoveYou always have great videos. Thank you so much!
Rank them for most terrifying looking birds next. Shoebill skyrockets Africa to 1st by a mile
Not just terrifying looking, but actually terrifying 😊
@@bill-hunter Nah, that's either ostrich or cassuary. Those cunts are a menace
Maybe in terms of looks but they are so adorable in terms of personality
I just have to say it, the Emperor Penguin ranges from underrated to overhated
You're gonna look at ALL the birds around the world in 17.5 mins? Do that and you will be the undisputed GOAT of UA-cam.
The Southern cassowary is my favourite flightless bird
Great Work
Looks like you haven't mentioned one of the biggest eagles in the world, but is also critically endangered: The Philippine Eagle.
Finally Antarctica is not last and I like how you include Antarctica
Nice video. Could u make more videos about New Zealand plsss
Awesome!
Make a video of Animals with most human kills (don't add insects and snakes)
Has to be salties. Those kill a LOT
@@LeonardoAldana43 No, it's almost certainly hippos.
They don’t call the ostrich the biggest bird for nothin 🥶
Finally one where the Antarctica isn’t eliminated almost immediately 😂
Ranking 5 of the deadliest birds in the world from least deadly to deadliest!
Cassowary is easily #1
what about the stellar sea eagle
Hey just a question about a video idea what if you rank a couple species of macaws like what the most common species and the rarest species
fun fact about the white tailed eagle its quite a recent settler in the netherlands and its doing very well but its because it like to hunt geese chicks instead of fish during their breeding season
interesting as usual.. now how bout duck species ?
I heard
There is a big bird
On Sesame Street
i have a good idea make a video on Kruger national park explaining its wildlife

Sandhill Crane
There is a bird you can find on every continent and some of them can get absolutely massive!...
The infamous Jailbird! 😂
Cassowary aren't in Asia. The Wallace line separates Asia, and Australia and Cassowary are all on the Australian side of the line.
That’s just not correct. The Wallace Line doesn’t mark the boundary between Australia and Asia.

@@garryd7748 I think you meant New Guinea
@@KiraiKatsuji No, the Wallace line is nowhere near New Guinea. It’s starts just near Bali and runs north between Borneo and Sulawesi, almost as far up as the Phillipines.
@@garryd7748 It certainly is no where near New Zealand! and Cassorwary's are primarily on New Guinea.
Ain't no way a swan is heavier than the cranes here in Florida. They are as tall as a man and can be very hefty
Just looked it up and it's true, those cranes are all fluff no bulk
Australia have two birds of prey species that are large and dingo sometimes hurt eums
it's called talons not claws
Birds of a feather right
No way cassowaries are native to asia
They are native to New Zealand, which is in Oceania, which is technically part of Asia, or south east Asia
North Americas big eagle can be found in South America?
Yes, why not?
@@MatthewTheWanderer North America or South America? There are harpies in North America?
@@Allirys Not within the United States, but they exist in what's considered Central America, which is still technically North America.
@@Allirys Yes, didn't you watch this video? Central America is part of North America not South America.
@@MatthewTheWanderer Since when??? North America, Central America and South America. Who told you that?
Did I miss number 7?
Asia and Oceania are joint 2nd
4:34 the rizz is crazy

Maned wolfs preying on Rhea's... yeah, mayby when the Rhea has ceased to be. In any other case he won't stand a chance.
A maned wolf eats predominantly berries, insects, small mammals and occasionally a bird. But not this one.
This one is way too big.
There's actually 3 species:
Common ostrich
Somali ostrich
North African ostrich
1 freak individual rates for all of Europe? Non-native at that?!!
What about the wild turkey
Wild Turkeys are larger than Trumpeter swans though?
Ok hold up ? Since when South America is Continent ? America is the whole continent.
North America's largest eagle is found in central and south America and is therefore not north American
Central america is north america. It's the largest eagle in north and south america.
3:57 CREEPY DAVE🗣🗣🗣
17:13 the UK's biggest species of bird, not sure if it's been officially classified yet.....
Okay, but what is that bird? Gonna be hard to find out about it if it hasn’t been officially classified. You gotta give the name.
@@ItsYaBoi418 I believe we should officially classify this species as “Arnicus Chasesquirrelius”
7:57, it's Karen
