Yeah, like emus and ostritches so low? Ostritches and swans are the only two birds that I'm always afraid from (the latter will break your arm, the former can literally tear your guts out). And emus basically won a land war against humans.
The crows living near my house have figured out how to untie knots from rope to use for their nests I guess. This is a huge problem whenever a building has to be painted, as the scaffolding used is made of lots of bamboo tied up with rope. To fight the crows, the painters have brought in a few monkeys, who act as the guards on the scaffolding in exchange for food. I get to witness Air Monkeys fighting Land Monkeys everyday. Also watching the crows untie knots is mind blowing, they do it much faster than I ever could.

@Nanami Eleanor Von Steiner He explained why in the video. There were some cuts because UA-cam does not condone violent things, and killing something with poison would definitely qualify in that category.
The thing about kiwis is that they are essentially a faction of players who liked playing rodent mains, but found there was no rodents in the New Zealand server so they specked one of the existing bird builds on the island into something akin to a rodent.
Imo if they wanted to play on the New Zealand sever that badly they should just adapt to how it’s just a different server and try to play with existing builds, or play rodent on another sever. There’s only so much fun to have without trying new things, after all. (Though in terms of real life, this is a useful way to think of it thanks)
I think it was the case that for the longest time New Zealand was a private casual server, where players went for janky strats. Tbh, I think it was really cool and I'm kinda sad that there are bunch of tryhards who never really created a character on Zealand, but instead transferred top tier, high level characters from highly competative regions.
I played as a kiwi, somehow got a kill on a cat and felt really good. Kiwis really aren't that bad. (a cat that was practically harrasing birds in the area of my friend's house actually did get mauled by a kiwi. honestly thought it was a pitbull in a kiwis body is what my friend said lol. yes my friend is a new zealand boi ( a kiwi ) )
Nah. They are flightless so they can hide on forest floors. This protected them from getting murdered by the apex predator in new zealand which was a now extinct eagle.
For those who like the hummingbird build, I suggest the Sword-billed hummingbird. It has such a long beak, that it can only feed from the Passaflora flower. That may seem worse at first, until you realize only the sword-billed hummingbirds can eat from it. This means it will have no competition for it’s food source, turning the high risk-high reward play style into free XP. It still has pretty poor defensive stats, though, so it’s not top tier, but definitely has enough going for it to break out of F-tier.
Poor little gal, lol 😂 I see it and can just hear MAYDAY MAYDAY, CHARLIE WE'VE LOST CONTROL; WE'RE GOING DOWN, OVER! In my head 😖 I hope the bee was aight

That grab was so fucking clean too. It really feels like the eagle was telegraphing “I can’t peck at you fast enough to stop you, psych my claws are fast AF”
That falcon vs heron clip was seriously amazing. The falcon really baited him, he set the meat down, used it as bait, and punished the attempt at stealing his food so efficiently. Seriously smart falcon.
The harpy eagle is the heaviest raptor and lives in the amazon, it is essentially an eagle sized hawk with a 7 foot wing span instead of the 9-10 foot wing spans of other eagles that prevents it from flying to extreme altitudes and for extended periods of time, but it allows it to weave its way between the dense canopy of the amazon. This high agility for its size and some of the best eyesight of any raptor allows the harpy eagle to catch prey that nothing else would have known was there and its large size enables it to carry off larger prey than any hawk ever could.

Also they are perhaps the smartest eagle there is. There have been reports that harpy eagles don't usually attack sloths so that their younglings can practice their hunting. In the amazon rainforest nothing is truly safe from a harpy eagle
TierZoo is a channel that you may sometimes forget about, then be pleasantly surprised when a video of his pops up and you binge his channel for the millionth time.
Shooting lasers from your eyes is from yesterday. Shoot something better: CHAINSAWS! But in all seriousness: Please be careful that the human playerbase doesn't get stupid ideas. They tend to do that. They might even try to use Kiwis for war for example. (Or declare it upon them.) Although it would be interesting to see them fight with flightless birds instead of against us, for a change. Just beware when they try to domesticate you. As an Emu main, I shall put forth a motion in the Grand War Council Chat of the Emus to collectively sign that petition. 'Till these days. (Signed)
The thing that you forgot about flamingos though is that often times they make their homes not just in some lake, but in lakes where the water is both acidic AND boiling because flamingos are largely heat-proof, even being able to drink the boiling, caustic water. So anything that does decide to attack them on their home turf would be seriously scalded.
Yeah, they are safe in their main spawning sites and bases, but they do travel long distances to get to other, less dangerous lakes as new XP sources arise. Plus, flamingoes can still be attacked by airborne builds.
@@bkjeong4302 such a strong spawning site is still something to be considered, especially since protecting the eggs and hatchlings is usually quite a challenge for a lot of egg-laying animals and just hatching is one of a said animal's most vulnerable times.
Their is a difference between forgetting info and not including it. With how much the video provides, it is no surprise that some detail(s) would not be involved. This comment woulda worked more as a fun fact, rather than a student adding a meek detail to the teachers lesson.

Haast's eagle. Wing span of around 2m. Went extinct because, well, the usual. Humans. Theere has been stories of them taking away whole small calfs and sheeps. That's where the legend of a Roc came from.
Is not only prediction. It was actually a trap. Watching carefully you realize that the predator understood what would happen if it puts the meat close to the cage, and instead of taking it away, decides to put it purposelly near the cage as a bait.
One of the best descriptions I've heard. That being said, everytime I hear another story about corvids, I move them higher up the intel scale. Octopuses & humans may be they're only competitors.
TZ and Pokémon both make animal behaviour understandable and I am HERE for it. Me: Why is this ghost such a jerk? Pokédex: She died on the mountain and that's why she haunts it!

Me: That's actually understandable.
@@markuhler2664 Parrots too, of course. I think parrots are more intelligent than even Crows, but Crows have the advantage of a wider natural range and better handling multiple climates
the shoebill honestly reminds me of one of those long extinct animals that look really cool and you wish you had today. and we have them today. P.S If you like prehistoric animals look up the Saiga Antelope.
@@iwoapwjcoejs Yeah, I missed both Owl and Vulture (defense) in my joke. It is kind of interesting that every type of raptor has a different specialty that goes well with some sort of RPG-style stat. Except secretarybirds, which is fitting, because they're the most bizarre raptors around. Though did Ospreys get a mention? Or do they count as hawks for this case?
"Invasive species" call it what it is, veteran players minging on low-skill servers and ruining everyone's fun. I can't tell you how many fun builds Ive seen new players try, only to get shut down by smurfs server-raiding low level areas.
Really I think it's a result of the devs not nerfing humans when they figured out how to move servers more easily. Once that happened it was only a matter of time before other players caught on and hitched rides to servers where their build had few or no counters, especially after seeing how it let humans dominate and they didn't get punished for it.
13:37 This is probably the most anime thing I've seen in nature. The eagle literally baits the heron into lunging, then grabs him with his foot and it looks like he's laughing about it
As someone who feeds a great blue heron everyday. The bird is a modern day dinosaur. But they such a amazing bird. So glad to actually be friends with one lol. 😂
Ravens will also team up with the wolf canine class for a cooperative hunting style. They will lead the wolves to the prey by flying over it, and when the wolves strike they get to eat as well.They are known to make emotional bonds with them as well, furthering trust and intelligence. I think that rhinos and (maybe magpies could be something else) form a bond when the magpie cleans out the rhinos ears. They manage to team with an incredibly more powerful class, and can even assist it in fights or choose to fly away. So good top tier choice!
I'm a coyote main. I tried stealing EXP from a wolf the other day and was ratted out by his raven buddy. It pissed me off so much. I teamed up with a badger, tho. I'm getting so many gains now! 😁
I've seen some funny stories of them baiting birds of prey into hunting for them. read a story of a unch of ravens spotting a rabbit, one flew off while the other stayed near the rabbit shortly after the raven that flew off came back with a pissed off hawk chasing it, the raven near the rabbit took off distracting the rabbit, while the hawk spots the rabbit and goes after it, once the kill is made, the ravens chase off the hawk and get a free dinner.
What’s interesting with the flamingo build is how- especially lesser flamingos- spec in environmental defense that allows them to survive in boiling hot alkaline salt plains. Which they use during nesting season, protecting themselves and their young from predators during the quest quite effectively. quite a brilliant play on that front.
I think you've vastly underrated Pigeons, especially on intelligence. Pigeons and humans have cooperated for centuries and, while fairly weak, they have great resilience if they survive attack. One pigeon, Cher Ami, was awarded a service medal during WWII for surviving being shot and still carrying a message home! Will always be my favorite bird build - scrappy and clever.
I think stuff like that is what takes them out of F tier I would argue they seem better builds than chickens though and that he gave chickens a little too much credit I think they should also be D tier
I get your point. Fair enough. But today, with human technology evolving so fast, I think it's fair to say that this relationship, humans to pigeons is more parasitic, or at least commensalistic, than cooperative.
Capybaras don't give a shit about anything. Probably the most chill creature ever. Getting gummed by a pelican probably isn't going to get a reaction out of one lmao

I don't know whether it's all falcons, but the Peregrine Falcon is most closely related to the parrot.

I'm going to sign a petition to make kiwis more viable by making it so that players with that build get laser eyes
Signed.

Lasers are not that good. Would be better if they have missile launchers
@@docilelikewintercatfish kiwis in tanks update when?
Shooting lasers from your eyes is from yesterday. Shoot something better: CHAINSAWS!
But in all seriousness: Please be careful that the human playerbase doesn't get stupid ideas. They tend to do that. They might even try to use Kiwis for war for example. (Or declare it upon them.)
Although it would be interesting to see them fight with flightless birds instead of against us, for a change. Just beware when they try to domesticate you.
As an Emu main, I shall put forth a motion in the Grand War Council Chat of the Emus to collectively sign that petition. 'Till these days.

TierZoo, I heard you say Stab Attack, and my nerdy ass thought “Same Type Attack Bonus”
Can we take a moment to think about that Corvid making two cats fight to get them off of the roof? That’s the funniest shit I’ve seen in a while
That Raven figured out that cat's fighting call is to move their tail, so it keeps pecking on the tail of both cats
Yea, thats why corvids are my favourite. Birds that are so smart they troll other animals for entertainment :D
"Oi bruv, heard that cat over there running his gob!"
That’s actually an Australian Magpie, which is actually not a Corvid.
There is lots of examples of this that can be found on the internet
The thing that you forgot about flamingos though is that often times they make their homes not just in some lake, but in lakes where the water is both acidic AND boiling because flamingos are largely heat-proof, even being able to drink the boiling, caustic water. So anything that does decide to attack them on their home turf would be seriously scalded.
Yeah, they are safe in their main spawning sites and bases, but they do travel long distances to get to other, less dangerous lakes as new XP sources arise.
Plus, flamingoes can still be attacked by airborne builds.
@@bkjeong4302 such a strong spawning site is still something to be considered, especially since protecting the eggs and hatchlings is usually quite a challenge for a lot of egg-laying animals and just hatching is one of a said animal's most vulnerable times.

True.
Their is a difference between forgetting info and not including it. With how much the video provides, it is no surprise that some detail(s) would not be involved.

Was?

13:45 dude that was actualy a really sick prediction. you can see the raptor readying his talon before the peck comes through.
Is not only prediction. It was actually a trap. Watching carefully you realize that the predator understood what would happen if it puts the meat close to the cage, and instead of taking it away, decides to put it purposelly near the cage as a bait.

“Corvids are basically what you’d get if you gave monkeys wings”. Got it, all I needed to know
Now I can stop my experiment where I staple wings to monkeys. I’ll just make more corvids, no need to continue.
One of the best descriptions I've heard. That being said, everytime I hear another story about corvids, I move them higher up the intel scale. Octopuses & humans may be they're only competitors.

"Invasive species" call it what it is, veteran players minging on low-skill servers and ruining everyone's fun. I can't tell you how many fun builds Ive seen new players try, only to get shut down by smurfs server-raiding low level areas.
Underrated
Really I think it's a result of the devs not nerfing humans when they figured out how to move servers more easily. Once that happened it was only a matter of time before other players caught on and hitched rides to servers where their build had few or no counters, especially after seeing how it let humans dominate and they didn't get punished for it.
The devs really didnt think it trough when they integrated server travel.
devs should really have put thought in what Uncle Ben said to Spiderman before dying when creating humans

Ravens will also team up with the wolf canine class for a cooperative hunting style. They will lead the wolves to the prey by flying over it, and when the wolves strike they get to eat as well.They are known to make emotional bonds with them as well, furthering trust and intelligence. I think that rhinos and (maybe magpies could be something else) form a bond when the magpie cleans out the rhinos ears. They manage to team with an incredibly more powerful class, and can even assist it in fights or choose to fly away. So good top tier choice!
I'm a coyote main. I tried stealing EXP from a wolf the other day and was ratted out by his raven buddy. It pissed me off so much.
I teamed up with a badger, tho. I'm getting so many gains now! 😁
I've seen some funny stories of them baiting birds of prey into hunting for them. read a story of a unch of ravens spotting a rabbit, one flew off while the other stayed near the rabbit shortly after the raven that flew off came back with a pissed off hawk chasing it, the raven near the rabbit took off distracting the rabbit, while the hawk spots the rabbit and goes after it, once the kill is made, the ravens chase off the hawk and get a free dinner.

Pelican: What if I... Nah, never mind

What’s interesting with the flamingo build is how- especially lesser flamingos- spec in environmental defense that allows them to survive in boiling hot alkaline salt plains. Which they use during nesting season, protecting themselves and their young from predators during the quest quite effectively. quite a brilliant play on that front.
Agreed
Flamingos are C tier as a result of this. In my opinion.
The little disclaimer for shrikes is hilarious
I think you've vastly underrated Pigeons, especially on intelligence. Pigeons and humans have cooperated for centuries and, while fairly weak, they have great resilience if they survive attack. One pigeon, Cher Ami, was awarded a service medal during WWII for surviving being shot and still carrying a message home! Will always be my favorite bird build - scrappy and clever.
I think stuff like that is what takes them out of F tier I would argue they seem better builds than chickens though and that he gave chickens a little too much credit I think they should also be D tier
Cher Ami reached allied lines with:
one eye
a foot hanging on only by a sinew
a shot through the chest
WWI not II
Well a smart bird build will just abandon the humans and run for its life or hide......but of course it has to be dumb enough to sacrifice itself.
I get your point. Fair enough. But today, with human technology evolving so fast, I think it's fair to say that this relationship, humans to pigeons is more parasitic, or at least commensalistic, than cooperative.
Being awarded a service medal as a bird is like being given a dead rat by a cat. Nether the sentiment nor the intent can be felt from such action.
