  • @allstarpterosaur850
    @allstarpterosaur850 4 роки тому +16

    Vibes (or films the calls are featured in) I picture the bird calls being in:

    Red-tailed Hawk: Stereotypical American commercial.
    “AMERICA! OH YEAH! BBQ! BALD EAGLE!”
    (Insert Hawk screech)
    or
    A desert movie. I heard the call in the movie “Rango”. A hawk tried to eat the main character twice!

    Common Swift: I never heard their call before. However, when I heard it in this video, I thought that their calls could be used for some small demonic creatures with wings.

    Northern Raven: “In their tongue, he is Dovahkiin. Dragonborn!”
    “FUS RO DAH!”

    or in some boreal forest.

    Herring Gull: Some piece of media that takes place in New York, like “Newsies: The Musical”

    “SANTA FE, MY OLD FRIEND!”

    or

    Some film that takes place at or near the sea or an ocean. I heard the herring gull calls in the National Geographic documentary “Killer Whales: Wolves of the Sea”, when an orca/killer whale was breaching twice.

    Common Loon (also called Great Northern Diver): Some film that takes place in a dark forest. I heard the calls of a common loon in the episode “The Eel Effect” from “Dreamworks Dragons: Defenders of Berk”, when Toothless the Night Fury dragon was freaking out after eating a bloodbane eel.


    Screaming Piha: Some film that takes place in a rainforest.


    Cape Turtle Dove/Ring-necked Dove: NANTS INGOYAMA BAGITHI BABA!! Some film that takes place in the savanna or mopane woodland of Africa

    or

    Some documentary by National Geographic or BBC. I heard this call many times in the painted wolf (also called African wild dogs) episode of “Dynasties”.


    Great Horned Owl: Some spooky and scary Halloween movie scene


    or


    Whenever an owl is on screen in a film that’s usually meant for children.


    American Crow: “They’re creepy and they’re kooky! Mysterious and spooky! They’re altogether ooky! The Addams Family!” The call of an American Crow played several times in a few episodes of “The Addams Family”.

    Laughing Kookaburra: Some old movie that takes place in a jungle or rainforest. The 1960’s film of “The Jungle Book” had a scene where the calls of a Laughing Kookaburra rang out.


    Bald Eagle: I heard that call many times in “Brother Bear”.



    European Robin: Several cartoons and films.


    Tawny Owl: Many horror movies with a forest scene at night.

    Shirley: Benny, I’m scared of the dark!

    Benny: Don’t worry, baby. Yours truly is here to protect you.

    Benny: Oh, my knight in shining armor!

    (werewolf jumps out from behind a tree)

    Benny: Ight, imma head out.

    (A stereotypical low-key horror movie scene I made)



    Indian Peafowl: Their call always makes me think of India or of a tiger prowling through the jungle.


    American Robin: Some suburban neighborhood.


    Blue Jay: Always makes me think of my home state where I live, South Carolina.


    Peregrine Falcon: Never heard their call used in a movie before.

  • @ElPayasoMalo
    @ElPayasoMalo 2 роки тому +1

    The one I was looking for wasn't here. It's like a kookaburra call, but slower and lower pitched. It's usually used to show that a jungle or forest is creepy.

    The American robins... I don't really have feelings about them one way or another most of the year, but come spring, I hate them with a passion. I'm a light sleeper. Once I'm up, I'm up and they begin singing before dawn. They throw off my sleeping schedule every year. They are EVERYWHERE at my house and and just after 4 am, they're singing and I'm awake.
    Of course, I would never do anything to them because they're just doing what birds do, but I absolutely do lay there and hate them quietly to myself.
