- Опубліковано 12 вер 2020
- Shrikes are part of the "perching bird" order. They are well known for how they handle their prey - an attribute that has garnered them a second common name: the butcher bird. Shrikes have raptor-like bills and hunt their prey which they may then store for later on plant thorns and even barbed wire fences. Shrikes have a shriek-like call according to some people and this is believe to be where the name "shrike" originated. These birds with fiercely defend a nest from intruders and may have multiple clutches of eggs in a single year if the timing works out.

Range: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America
Size: 6-12 inches (15-32cm)

Pigeon: I like flying
Songbird: I like singing
Seagull: I like taking a crap on everything
Shrike: Oh, I just STAB AND KILL INNOCENT SOULS ON BRANCHES UNTIL THEIR GUTS COME OUT!!!!
Everyone:
Well That's too much to Said
@@MoskusMoskiferus1611 yup
Some "people" are shrikes
@@DJK-cq2uy and most “people” are morons, trust me, I know about those types of ppl
We had been noticing a lot of dead animals hanging on the shrubs of a tree near our house - Lizards, frogs, snakes etc all left to rot on the shrubs, foul smell emanating from the tree. We later realised, the long tail shrike was creating it's secret pantry in that tree. Strangely, the shrike would never return back to eat the stuff.
Oooh that would be a bit grim to come across!
@@AnimalFactFiles Deaths everywhere 😂😂😂
dead animals hanging on the tree everywhere, sounds like a horror moive isnt it?
The movie The Invitation got me curious!
2:57 - Well, ain't that gruesome! Kind of like the avian answer to Vlad the Impaler, huh?
Thanks for the video! Pretty cool birds!
OMG yes!! I didn't even think of them as like Vlad the Impaler, but yes!
The show Hannibal Brought me here!!!
More shrike vids pls🙂
I appreciate your videos, thank you for still posting :D Have you ever done a video on the giant sea eagle? Stella's, or maybe Stellar's sea eagle, I think that's what it's called
Thank you so much! We haven't done Steller's sea eagle, so I'll add them to the list. =)
@@AnimalFactFiles I sure hope you get more views soon, it's so weird on how you have almost 20k (subs) but you only get a few hundred views per video :C
Merci pour cette vidéo.
Shrike so very cool. This video a Nice 😀👍 very good!!!!
9:22 so birds so cool
animal fact files very good
Thank you 😀
Interesting that they are in Africa, but lacking in Madagascar! That nest footage at 0:55 was insane! They are so clever with their food hoarding, I feel like if Maui was a bird he would be a shrike based on this behaviour 😅
Oooh Maui has a hunter instinct it sounds like!!
@@AnimalFactFiles he tries, but alas rarely succeeds! Which is fine by me! Although if you asked him, he'd say he's the best!
In my country we called it kuriyot
Athu oligodon arnensis( banded kukri or russet kukri ).aprm antha paravai...long tailed shrike..
I want to watch allonautilus
❤️ ❤️
🙄😁👍 quite interesting 🧐
I know a pied shrike for about three years now and he who I refer to as Spots 😬😜😂🙌 does sing/mimic songs of other bird species 😱😂yes; you got me right, he does sing and mimic tunes that I frequently whistle when we see each other in our daily goings on 😁👌
It appears to me that he does migrate 🧐
Other than that 😎 by monitoring Spot's hunting tactics and strategies 🧐👁️ I personally see shrikes to be more akin to raptors 👁️ such as falcons 😊 with the cunning of ravens 😁💪
What an awesome bird 👁️ like ALL other featherbed friends 😁
Good show 😎🙌👌👍💪
Animals of Farthing Wood anyone?
