I love Capercallies! Amazing birds, not scared at all of humans. Proud to share a country with them. They look incredible too, like a chicken wanted to be a peacock.
Best description ever.
I’d kill their ass
@@SFbayArea94121 You are such a little insecure beta
arent they called grouses?
True
I really admire Attenborough. A good sense of humor and willing to get into a little scrape just to show us the wonders of the natural world.
They sound like those little wooden frogs you run sticks down the backs of.
I miss doing that
They sound sort of like metal bottle caps (like Snapple caps) that you can click in and out
David Attenborough is a not-so-serious rival.
D.A. knows HE'S the champ.
I bet he still would have taken the prize had he won
I SWEAR, every time I see a video of these birds they are always trying to start beef with someone 🤣🤣🤣
I never met an animal that spoke woodblock.
you don't want too
Haha, same thing happened to me when i was hiking in a forest south of Stockholm, a capercaillie approached me and then lunged at me and made the same display. At first it was some distance between me and the bird, but i stayed in one spot and took pictures, and the bird continued to walk towards me, and soon he was within striking distance, lunged at me and i backed hastily and fell backwards like David.
Spikklubba I think he’s just wants a friend
Sir David's hands-on treatment of narration makes him one of the best naturalists ever... on top of his immensely charming style and sheer bravery, that is.
It's like a Crow dressed up as a Turkey.
Can you imagine how impressed a female would be after seeing one take on a human?
Love capercaillies 💕 Every detail of their appearance is unique and gorgeous: their chin tufts, their scarlet eyebrows, their ivory beaks, their fan tails and fluffy, tufted bottoms! They scuttle around bent double, kind of like Groucho Marx, with that crazy gleam in their eye, and make that insane glurking noise, like drains or popping corks 🍾🍾🍾 They remind me of the spoof ornithology page in Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle’s “Molesworth” series, which features a cartoon bird with its beak open and the caption “A Glurk, trolling” 🦃
Run David Run!
Such cute but grumpy birds. Richard Attenborough is a world 🌎 treasure!🤣
This might be the funniest and most charming video I’ve ever seen. I love Sir David; he’s our true royalty! 🏴
Iconic.
Happy 94th Birthday Sir.
capercaillie: "get off mah land!!!" xD
Props to the man for not sending it like a kickball
Reminds Me Of My Local Ruffed Grouse Here In The States. We Have A Particular Male Down The Road From My Town That We Call “Rudy”. Nobody Shoots Him During Hunting Season, Despite Him Attacking Our Cars And Even Us Sometimes. Funny Little Guy.
Like a cross between a grouse and a turkey with the personality of a goose or a particularly contentious rooster.
David is ten times better better at dealing with aggressively horny birds than most people who encounter these.
Damn, I love that clicky noise they make
Well done to the RSPB & the other organizations for their hard work in keeping the Capercaillie population afloat in Scotland.
These things are like gangster peacocks D:
THUGCOCKS
What a beautiful bird.
I love David Attenborough.
I find this is the typical reaction for an Englishman in Scotland. ;)
I love how this was probably recorded with top of the line equipment, but as the file was passed down, compressed over and over again, it was eventually uploaded in poop format.
Thanks dank very cool
One time I saw a capercaillie chasing a car. He's territory was on the road
Ufc "sorry guys due to coronavirus we cannot get human v human fights so instead we've managed to line up David Attenborough and a bird in a best of three rounds!"
I love they way he says Scotland 😍
Anyone here from Springwatch?
Valamist yes lol
wow, that clicky noiase is awesome!
the capercaillie look so cool!!
Damn, 14 years ago ? Old but gold, it seems
I absolutely ADORE Capercaillies! They'd look so cute on the label of a Scotch Bottle! :D
They're great until your cycling down a path and you get the fright of your life from their clucks 😂
It looks like a grouse x a turkey, and it sounds like the Grudge x a water drop x the wooden frog that you can run a stick across.
@randomlaughingman They lived here in Denmark to on the heath but were extinct 30 or 40 years ago.
Beautiful birds 💕
Raise your hand if you were rooting for the bird. 🙋🏻♂️
Wow even in this video David sounds so different... Please don't die you global treasure :(
00:55 "David you've played street fighter 2. Can you do any moves from it?"
"my fave character is guile and I've mastered the flash kick!!"
Kick to the face!
its neck doesn't hurt already ?!!
It is a great shame on the Scottish people who have nearly hunted this magnificent bird to extinction!! Some morons still shoot them today just for the sake of a Trophy even though there are only a few left. I have no problem with people hunting for food, but to shoot them for a trophy just because they are big birds is just disgusting! What sort of sick horrible disgusting people go out shooting these magnificent birds??? They are nearly extinct now! STOP SHOOTING THEM!!! Have some respect!!!!
this is why you shouldn't mess with the scots! even our birds will take you out hahaha! Sir David is awesome! he easily has one of the best jobs in the world :)
These birds are all over Europe and all the way to Siberia.
@@UltraCasualPenguin it only took 13 years for me to learn this 🤣🤣
@Draconis666 Dude I just found out they also live in Scotland... only ever saw videos of Russians bothering them in Siberia
Thanks to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and Tony Hawk's delightful surprise, I looked this up.
Same
der uhrhahn
wunderschön
David Attenborough ate very well that night.
Wait... Wait... Don’t Tell Me! sent me here. 🤷🏻♂️
Same! They're doing a replay right now, clips from different shows, and they played the Tony Hawk (fancy bird) segment. Haha! I love that show.
Lmao same I listen to their things on road trips
Such fun birds :D
Dank
....you know, the soundtrack to the Famous Grouse adverts make so much more sense after listening to the Capercaillie :D
I wanna make that clicky noise my ringtone.
Uma ave linda e Valente!!!!
Crazy to think i was 11 when this video was uploaded 😭 youtube was a whole different thing
David could’ve hit his head when he fell back like that. Beautiful clip.
I was sent here by Count Dankula.
ахереть. 15 лет назад. наверное самый древний ролик который я смотрел на ютубе. привет из 2022го))
That was great when it knocked Sir David on his rear! Ha!
Anyone 2020 watching this so reply me
Me! We might be about the only ones! :D
Watch out David- he's coming for you!
Aye, its just burps...too much Irn Bru...He thought Dave was going for his stash.
Talk about ALPHA MALE...He is the man!
OMG it's not really shy! ^^
If you liked that click you need to look up the bushmen of the Kalahari. Their speech has neat clicks in it.
The bird was first! That's why they're awesome!
Those male capercaillies are surely aggressive when they fight.
The fact David essentially got attacked by these birds scared me as a kid.
They sound like bamboo wind chimes lol
the thing is it seems to me that these birds do not run away from humans so it's not any sport to hunt them. during mating season you should be able to simply grab them and immobilize them as you would handle a domestic chicken, turkey, duck or goose. If so it is no display of hunting skill, or difficulty to take them. it also seems to me that it would be easy to live capture a mating group and captive breed them. sure the first generations would be tame ( you can actually hand feed these things even in the wild) but if you release them the generation that follows would be fully wild. also these birds are found all the way through Europe, Russia and into China. they really cannot be as rare as all of that.
adaje5 you sir, just described perfectly why they are not hunted in the mating season
Honestly, why hunt them at all? They don't seem to have any fear of humans even outside the mating season from what I've read, so it's not like they're hard to find and kill. Like adaje5 said, why not just capture and breed them? Do they taste good?
brigidtheirish Capercallie is one of the hardest birds to find and catch, when its not mating season
They're not rare, they're only rare in Britain because our countryside is so ecologically dead and we have so little natural space, most space being used for farms.
The biggest of grouse!
What nature series is this from? :)
Thanks dankula
Capercaillies = Gangsta Chicken from the 'hood
@SimilkameenSlayer1 Acually yes! so much so that they very neerly went extinct in scotland. The breeding stock was so depleted that more had to be brought in from mainland europe.
5/5 for David vs Capercaillie.
Ich liebe diese eitlen Hähne, vor Testosteron strotzend...🤩
These birds have the personality of a honey badger :)
"Get offa my turf, punk!"
"Let's see you come over here and say that!"
"Where's the women at?"
The Capercaillie is now featured on the new British 10 pence coin
They are delicious. Capers are quite popular hunting game in the nordic countries.
If I was in that situation, there would be a roast capercaille on our dinner table.
INCREDIBILE , : in quel periodo il gallo cedrone è talmente " fuori di testa " che non riconosce i suoi nemici naturali , Volpi , Orsi , Lupi , Aquile , tassi , puzzole , che ovviamente ne approfittano e se ne fanno scorpacciate 😁
I want one of those as my pet. I'd train him to attack all of my enemies!
After watching numerous animal behaviour videos, it's striking how analogous the courtship behaviour is to human behaviour, though on the surface it would seem stupid to us. Like these animals, guys do waste a lot of time, energy & resources fighting & trying to win over the fickle, shallow attention span of females. I can feed myself for 6 bucks at Maccas; pay for a mate & it might cost me 15-20; but bring a female & now it'll cost you 100 for basically the same shit at a fancy restaurant.
bird fight ! bird fight !
It is wrong what Attenborough say about the attack. The Capercaillie doesnt normally attack us humans, they are in fact very shy. This is a phenomen that sometimes occur. Among normal capercaillies you have to use a camouflage, a tent, to watch these birds, also during this breedingseason.
look how goddamn tough that bird is, taking on David!!
woo Turkey go!
They belch a lot
All other animals are playing Street Fighter while wood groose is playing Smash Bros here\
Capercaillie is glorious immortal epic bird. ALL HAIL CAPERICAILLIE KING OF THE UNIVERSE!
Imagine if they were the size of horses
he have harem
You can't hunt them during the breeding season when this is filmed. Only in the autumn months, and at that time they are extremelly shy. And they taste delicious :)
0:55 Did sir david just kick the bird?
it just ran into his foot when his legs lifted from the fall.
@@DUSaggin , that's a good excuse! 😉
the bird aimed for Sir David's balls. LOL.
You probably did, too.
Which series is this from?
Can this thing be eaten?
A Scottish Emily in its natural habitat, defensive against all intruders.
7 people lost a chicken fight with a capercaillie
