Is something weird going on or did this ~6 year old video just get a comment 4 hours ago?
@ComputersandJava ikr I think that they are pin commenting this on all his vids lol
Why would I want to become a patreon member of a channel that LIES in the title? :-P
. migration of birds happens because following the Sun
- Sun south they south
- Sun North they North
but on Flat Earth not on nonsense Globe
Why would I pay people who are trying to clickbait me? xD Buger off
I see I'm not the only person who clicked on this video thinking that we were going to be learning about birds that hibernated under ice. The disapointment is real
I taught just the same as you
im also disapointed
Me, too.
I was thinking the same thing but definitely not disappointed
Yes me too
Fun fact. It was first suggested that birds migrated as far back as the early 19th in Germany when they found a stork with an African hunter's arrow in its neck. It was called the "Pfeilvogel", and the stuffed specimen still exists in a German museum. I found this out in QI.
What if all arctic turns are actually in a loop of
"OH GOD ITS WINTER HERE! I NEED TO GO BACK!"
and by the time they get to the other pole they're like
"OH GOD ITS WINTER HERE TOO! I NEED TO GO BACK!"
Useless Fox Made me chuckle. Would be rather awful - you make an unbelievably long flight, finally arrive exhausted at your destination, then find you've missed spring and have to go back.
Useless Fox you have to go back
Useless Fox that was as useful as ur name m8
lmao
Useless Fox LOL
This video: "birds that hibernate in lake"
This video 5 seconds later: "no"
Everyone with a working brain before even clicking: this has got to be something silly...
@@terryfuldsgaming7995 everyone with a good brain why is this in my recommendation
All of the developments in avian migration research...quite amazing. I really enjoyed this.
Slightly disappointed that this didn't alter my view of how life works on earth by actually being about Birds that Hibernate in Lakes.
Yeah. Title: "Birds that Hibernate in Lakes". Second sentence: "Birds do not hibernate in lakes."
Thanks?
General rule of the internet. If a headline or title asks a question (usually with an exclamation mark or in all caps), it is probably not true.
TheyCallMeGawd seriously
yeah you gotta love clickbait titles
It's called "clickbait"
So about those birds hibernating in lakes....

@@CreatorsHubCreates he has more like than your comment lol
Now 6
My comment is just ambiguous and old enough that even I'm not sure what my intent was at this point.
Holy crap! Migrating from arctic to antarctic!? It takes me all the energy I have just to drive 10 minutes to work.
Hahaha, I hope you have a low energy job then ;)
You forgot to talk about using stable isotopes to estimate the migration patterns!!! It's much more current and accurate.
Yeah Hungary here since we and our migrating storks were mentioned. Let me just seize the opportunity to mention that the hunting of these migrating birds is a problem. Many of them don't make it back come next spring and that's an issue that needs to be addressed.
You know these birds are some of the best known here in my country. Usually villages have stork nest wheels up on utility poles, above electryc pylons or lamp poles or chimneys of old family homes. These stork nest wheels are there to help the birds nest upon them. In springtime it's a joyful sight to see the returned storks raise their hatchlings up in their nests.
Do you know what a sad sight is? Seeing an empty stork nest.
Knowing they were hunted down and didn't make it back from wintering in the south.
Here's some cool stuff: Webcam broadcasts of stork nests in Hungary maintained by the Hungarian Ornithological and Nature Conservation Society. The webpage after the link is not in English, but it's a list of addresses also marked on an embedded Google map. Just open the collapsing sections and it even says in English where you have to click to see the live feed. www.golya.mme.hu/index.php?p=webcam
Am I the only one disappointed that there aren't actually any bird species that hibernate at the bottom of frozen lakes? Talk about a misleading title! I was really interested in hearing Minute Earth explain how those birds managed their air supply. : (
same here 😑
its a bait title
No, I'm smarter than that.
Same lol
LuigiGodzillaGirl same😔
I don't know, that picture looks pretty legit, I don't think the illustrator was lying about pulling a net load of swallows from a lake.
It's just that morons came to the conclusion that they were hibernating.
Flying from north pole to south pole. Bruuuh, those birds be hardcore!
Flying from the Equator to the Equator is waaay easier. Feck it, just walk.
+Massimo O'Kissed Sarcasm?
(0_0) and we complain about things in life. DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN.
Paul Magnus Sørensen-Clark Some travel 8000 miles.
The Exploited
Fun fact: Snipes were known for their paranoia and willingness to bolt, so those that could stay far enough away to not alert them while hunting them were called snipers
I know it's been seven years, but thank you for this. I love etymology
I am happy to share this channels' videos with my son. They are very intuitive and seem as if " why? hadn't I know that already" all the while, well done!
The snipe is also where we get the term sniper from. Originally, people who could successfully hunt them were dubbed snipers due the fact that the bird is easily startled, spooked, ect.
im still pretty sure they fly to the moon..
+Frosty. you're absolutely wrong, I am pretty sure they are mostly migrating to sun .. cause it is always summer there !
+Jean Maanviss Wtf lol XD
+Frosty. Wrong. They are migrating to Tau Ceti to raid the space station NSS Exodus.
+Frosty. News flash! birds have evolved rocket boosters
Bird people fly to the moon, birds just fly..
Last Part:
A small flight for Arctic Terns, a huge migration to birdkind.
Geometry Dash GCDarkGGG Well Neil Armstrong didn't say mammalkind... so its more like Ternkind imo
One small step for bird, one giant leap for birdkind
I find it extraordinarily difficult to believe that no one could figure out that the enormous flocks of birds they saw flying south during the fall were migrating to winter nesting grounds in warmer climes.
Limited travel and communications.
@@roytee3127 So what? People didn't need extensive travel and communication to universally understand that the earth is round.
@@AtarahDerek
Different question. This question was what happened to birds in the winter.
Minimal contact with most of what was then called "Darkest Africa" precluded much information about concentrations and movements of birds in Africa.
It's hard for us to fathom how little that even educated Europeans and Americans understood about the workings of the natural world two or three centuries ago.
@@roytee3127 There is no logical reason intelligent people would assume birds sleep underwater in the winter. Just because they didn't have smartphones doesn't mean they were idiots.
@@AtarahDerek But they did. It's hard for us to fathom how ignorant of so many things even intelligent people a few centuries ago were. People also believed in spontaneous generation and had no idea what caused infectious diseases.
Excellent I learnt so much. I loved the picture of the birds sleeping under water.
African swallows or European swallows?
i dont know
*fly away*
+Sean Lauder NI!!!
+Sean Kauder an unladen one

"Birds that Hibernate in Lakes?!" Kind of a misleading title... :(
I know right??!
+justin wood clickbait. it's a good video and a good channel, but you gotta have something to make people click on the video!
Alot of stupid people will see the title and take it at face value and think its a fact. Clickbait is bad in all its forms. Stop it Mr. Minute Man.
+Mote of Dust Aka Henry Reich
birds fly in their sleep. the true true they do.
I'm a little disappointed that you didn't include a short note about the Rostocker Pfeilstorch. It was a stork that returned to Germany in 1821 after a successful migration with an African arrow (as in bow and arrow) stuck through its neck. It was the first real evidence of long distance migration.
You know there's a difference between proof and evidence, right? It didn't prove beyond a doubt that the bird had flown from Africa, but it gave some important clues and set some wheels into motion.
Fake or not, the finding of the Pfeilstorch (arrow-stork - which is real by the way) marks the beginning of the ressearch on birds migration. I've seen him among others, younger findings of storks, hit by african arrows....
"The Great Snipe" must be pretty good with the AWP
Indeed
Some days ago, We found a dead banded bird from Finland (it had something about level 2 students on it's ankle) dead in Nigeria.
The Great Snipe must be the best quickscoper.
yup. i heard a story about one of them hitting Apollo 13's oxygen supply with a coconut armed with a banana.
World record for highest kill streak via sniping in COD, battlefield, and battlefront!
fyi he was spotted using aimbot
true
#noscope
The tie-in at the end of every episode makes me giddy with enjoyment.
The time daylight occurs and how long the day lasts to measure coordinates, brilliant!
Wow. I really really find this so interesting. Obviously like most I've been aware about bird migration but it's really impressive. Especially the Arctic Tern .... mind blowing
This is one of the most educational channel I have ever seen
"But as far as we know they haven't gotten there yet."
That's science in a nutshell. Even the most ridiculous idea is not completely ruled out. I like that.
Aaron Cubitt But do they really?
BlueCorsair lmao there is quite a bit of truth to that
Exactly. There's a movie named "Einstein and Eddington" in which Eddington does an experiment that proves Einstein's theory. Eddington presents his evidence to a room full of 'scientists', a lot of whom are offended by it and at the end angrily leave the room because the new ideas completely mess up their existing world view.
A REAL scientist is open to new and seemingly ridiculous ideas even if it opposes everything they thought was real. The goal of science should be to adjust our belief system to match reality, not the other way around.
What if the birds are secretly training for space travel to colonize the moon?
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUN
Birds are amazing in ways I never knew.
They are worthy heirs to the crown of dinosaur awesomeness.
I find it wierd that the Tyrannosaurus rex is a chicken. ;-;
Wanted to know more about the hibernation of birds on under the lake. My disappointment is immeasurable and my days is ruined 😭
We know so much about this world; it's simply astounding to me.
Though we have much to learn, what we do know is still arguably impressive.
The final version is impressive.
Good one Ever and Henry :)

So the scientists had to go out and recapture the snipes? If I was a scientist, I might be a little mistrusting of being told to go out into the woods and look for them.
lmao what?
@@darkithnamgedrf9495 A “snipe hunt” is an old prank that consisted of telling someone to “hunt a snipe.” The joke was that snipes don’t exist and so the person be told was being sent on a wild goose chase.
High site fidelity is common in birds, meaning they return to the same wintering and breeding locations year after year. Also, birds are usually captured passively using large mist nets and not by people chasing them around with butterfly nets as the video may suggest. Recapturing birds is more feasible than you might think.
This one is really good, thanks.
2:24 now i see where Up gets it from
0:51 is the first time I heard people talk about my home country on UA-cam. I’m impressed.

WHAT DO U MEANBIRDS DONT GO TO DA MOON
birds have been to the moon before humans bruh i seen it my own i eyes in my past life
I'm a bird and I can confirm we go to the moon during holidays. Dumb humans never figure anything out
Ahem is there any air in the moon?
Plus if we can't survive on the moon then bird can't to!
These are the kind of videos that makes my day ... Amazing research man.
That music at the end was so delightful!
Great video MinuteEarth!
Btw, I'd love to read that pamphlet about birds flying to the moon. Do you have any clue how to find it? Thanks a lot!
I really enjoyed this, thanks a lot!
same here!
2:52 there is a mistake,
Birds have BEEN to the moon far before stars, it's just humans don't know of it(expect for me).
But they would die going there..
No air, its frozen cold. And how would they get past the atmosphere?
You can tell that the people at 1:44 are smart because they wear glasses.
Omg, thank god for this video! When I put my bird in his tank he seemed to thrash around a little then go still. I thought he was dead but now I know he is just hibernating.
After he said snipe all i could think was "here snipey snipey" and Russel laying out chocolate for Kevin in Up
I had no idea that migration was such a recent discovery
misleading title
It got you to watch it, didn't it? :)
I would have watched it anyways. That is why I am subscribed. I'm just saying that with a title like that I expected that there was some discovery that would be really interesting, but no he was just trying to get views.
Did you see the question mark at the end of the title? Usually if its on a video it means that its not true, and minutephysics is not about getting views, its about giving factual information to his audience.
DrSpace yup
This video dedicated to Holden Caulfield
Even though ducks weren't even mentioned
LOL! To those who didn't get it, this is a reference to famous novel 'The Catcher in the Rye' (by J. D. Salinger), where the protagonist (Holden Caulfield) spends a big while wondering about where the birds go when the city's lakes freeze.
fc06.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/337/0/7/The_Laughing_Man_Logo_by_motwaaagh.gif
I can't believe I didn't get that until you mentioned the catcher in the rye.
hey mate ..thanks for nice info . i was wondering to know , which software u used for making this video ..animation stuff !! thxx
Birds that hibernate in lakes drown. Pretty simple principal at work here.
Great video!
Those Bar-Tailed Godwits must need one heck of a nap when they land.
2:16 Wait, wait, wait. So... SNIPES ARE REAL?!?
Where do you think the term sniper originated, genius?
Poor Russell...
DekuStickGamer i KNOW right?!?!
+Mia King Why wouldn't they be?
Paul Magnus Sørensen-Clark Because snipes have been used to trick campers, scouts and other kids during activities and initiation rites for decades. The adults would tell the children to go into the woods and bring back the vicious, toothed birds in order to pass the test/rite/activity. When the kids failed to bring back the bird, the adults would have a good laugh and the kids would discover they had been duped.
Then the kids would feel a bit embarrassed at being so silly as to believe that such a fantastical bird could actually exist. Since so many people don't think snipes exist (or at least they don't really know what the bird looks like), a bunch of random and crazy attributes would be given to the bird in order to scare the kids and make it more difficult and exciting to try to complete the challenge.
Our country has many visitors year-round because its always the same here in Sri Lanka except it rains in December.
That light + time recorder is a really clever idea.
Came to learn about birds hibernating under water, learnt something.
Still disappointed :(
What a misleading title...
Well, that's how you reel people in to get views, its called being smart.
John Srtunk It's called, "Against UA-cams rules" and "we can flag the video for it" it's not "smart" it's just shows you only care about money, and don't give a fuck about your viewers.
*****
Exactly, I couldn't have said it better myself. Almost as bad as making ten second videos. I think he stopped because he realized you can't make money on them.
*****
It isn't misleading, he asked that question and answered it. Then expanded and explained. It takes longer to do the latter since you need more information. He also came back to one of the points he made at the end.
Just because you assumed, doesn't mean it was misleading.
Also, who were you quoting?
How is the title misleading? There is a "?" in the title. Like saying, "How can people believe this?"
Wow, I continue to be amazed by how outlandish the theories of ancient people are.. The moon?
lol really its only post Rome not ancient's pre Rome we built things like Stonehenge the pyramids an other things beyond modern ability's. Rome lead a great deal of the planet into the dark ages history has set backs. Im Celt we were less effected by the dark ages an romes barbaric behaviours that lead to it compared to other tribes. we had no such silly moon theory's (google children of lyr) lol.
my point is ancient people weren't the problem empire is for there has been no good come from empires without oppression. an imperialists are ferly new in human history its not eras that make us dumb but how well we get along. all u need to encourage stupidity is 1 selfish authoritarian person in a position of power. Cromwell Stalin hitler Muhammad Zoroaster Abraham tho I doubt the last existed the list gos right up till now.....
that's sum pretty heavy stuff for birds on the moon lol. but without set backs in progress stupidity wouldn't be encouraged an id never of thought of sending this long boring arse reply lolz
Ri dan Stonehenge and pyramids are beyond modern ability's? Hahaha, it's true though that we don't comprehend what their method was and how they did it since we have no proof and only hypotheses. But do you really think that if we use modern technology we won't be capable of doing so?
yeah those guys were dumb. We're better off without them..
GamesForTheWlN well obviously with modern technology we could I didnt say we couldn't. however a massive Crane is not as impressive to me like how a calculator is that impressive.
an even then we cant know we could build such things without trying an I see nobody trying. I would try an id do it so ya I think it could be done but It likly wont
It would just be a very long and hard process to make a pyramid.
After 5 years, this video still get people.
I love your videos, so glad I'm a sponsor. 😀

How the fuck did that Bartailed bird fly and not sleep non stop for 8 days?!!
+Ali Makaveli Lots and lots of coffee.
+Ali Makaveli They fix their wings in position and allow air currents rising up from the sea to keep them up.
+Ali Makaveli Is it not obvious? Whatevs
They can sleep while gliding, it's sorta like sleep walking
+Ali Makaveli Birds actually can rest one half of their brain while still carrying out basic functions like flying with the other, so they trade resting halves, so they technically are "sleeping"
As long as the tracker doesn't weigh more than a coconut then a swallow could carry it
Only if it grips it by the husk.
Mark Contini ;)
Woopty Do are you suggesting coconuts migrate
😂😂
but what kind of swallow?
I seriously clicked on this video thinking there was a species of birds that migrated in a lake... I obviously didn’t think too hard aboot that lol.
I thought the first indication of land migration was when a stork (or similar bird) was found with a spear from a far away country through its wing, I can't remember the exact details, I'm sure if anyone is interested they could find out more on here.
Bah, science. Very, very disapointing, that business about no swallows sleeping under the ice of frozen lakes. Next you'll be claiming that hummingbirds don't migrate on the backs of geese. Hrmph.
Hummingbirds actually invented geese. They are how they get to the moon without suffocating. So they are actually inside the geese,not on their backs.
It's too bad the birds aren't collecting frequent flyer points.
its amazing how much kinetic energy can be converted from the chemical energy in food.
It’s crazy that until 1900 we still went with the good ole moon explanation. Science is awesome and alive and evolving
Your video shoud be named "How migratory birds are thought to be through out history"
Birds are amazing.
Birds that Hibernate in Lakes? Sure! Never heard of the Submarine Finch or the Periscope Pelican?
Can you do a video on animals with the best cardiovascular system? Essentially the fittest animals on the planet?
2:40 they fly twice as far because you put batteries on them, which interferes their biomagnetic field for navigation!!!!
Thanks so much for creating & sharing this! Great info, cute art 🌈
Really like this video!
If I was a bird, I would fly to the moon for winter.
cuz it's much warmer there

Matthew Barroso Only if they fly around with sparks shooting out of their ass
amante pensanta damn you beat me to it by a day :D
Isn't it fascinating how we needed thousands of years to become aware of the dimensions of this planet and travel around it while some animals just fly around it in a few days and they already did this millions of years ago..
I got this recommend but clicked on my own on the 1st pop up! Worth it!

wow, I just learned more in 3 minutes than I have in a whole week on freshman college courses. :P
clickbait.
For idiots.
smurfyday animals are a crazy creature who knows what they'll do next
Lol I actually fell for it but it would be cool for birds to hibernate in lakes
@smurfyday but yet for some strange reason ,you are on this video. its ether you didn't know where birds go for the winter or you was like me"oh wow there are birds that hibernate? but not only that hibernate under water?i didn't know that, that is amazing , what will nature think of next!"
+TOO NASTALGIC No. We came here to laugh at people who thought birds hibernate, and underwater nonetheless. Think of it as a troll in search of pray. Would you think a troll would go to a video based in mathematics with a realistic title like, "Solution to Linear Second Order Homogeneous Differential Equations With Complex Roots"?
I will answer my own question for you. The answer is no. Instead a troll would go to a video that will dumb down the content for its viewers, and in addition uses a thumbnail with title that will receive the most amount of clicks.
Fun fact: The arctic Tern is the bird featured in the Japanese cartoon (or is it anime?) Future Boy Conan, which is based on the novel The Incredible Tide. And Tiki (the bird's name) logs in quite a few thousand kilometers going back and forth during the proceedings of the series.
I was blown away by the Great Snipe.
If I had the ability to fly I guess I'd rack up a few thousand miles per year too
but would you fly over the oceans???
Why? Most of us have legs, but we're not all that fond of using them.. A lot of us sit and are stationary most of the time, and I reckon that if we were used to the abillity of flight, we would take that abillity for granted aswell and not use it unless necessary.
answer the question : D
its a hypothetical.....

Are you talking to me? Cause I was responding to Boredness, and so I wasn't trying to answer your question, if that's what you thought I was doing. But I might just be the one, who thinks you're talking to me right now, while you're not and not vice versa..
Philandros sorry i am still adjusting to this whole commenting system...
Space Birds the movie
What does the Arctic Tern gain from going from the Arctic to Antarctic? Seems like a pointless trip :P
It was last in line at the travel directory and every other route was taken?
daylight, perhaps?
Arctic and Antarctic do have summer and winter, too. Although summer may only last a few weeks and be more comparable to a short spring.
When there's summer in Greenland it's deepest winter in Antarctica and the other way round.
It's still mostly cold and only gets half decent for plant life for a few months. I'm no expert though and draw my knowlege from BBC documentaries and the short wikipedia research just now.
Arctic terns go mostly after the fish, though, so it's most likely because of plankton which draws in fish. And especially Phytoplankton likes sunlight. Polar summer means lots of sunlight.
Just recently, another tagged Bar-tailed Godwit was tracked from Alaska to Tasmania. Did the trip in 11 days non-stop.
Your channel is amazing!
Woooot Arctic Terns ! I love their cry !
I'm more astonished on how far they can travel
Space birds!
Oh, those adorable helmets!
birds are like soon we will go to the moon and make humans slaves
only problem, they'll die, because they need gravity to swallow
Vertikarl there is gravity on moon
lirim hasani Then we're screwed. Swallows are gonna colonize the moon and come back with moon guns and enslave us all. We might as well start bowing to our swallow overlords now.
