I'd like to report a glitch: when I play a bird and try to fly through an opening in a house, I get blocked off by an invisible wall and crash to the ground. I think that the wooden frame of the opening somehow gets a huge hitbox. Also, these huge white noisy birds keep knocking me out of the sky. Ban them please.
Yeah... the invisible barrier glitch happened to me the other day and it's so annoying. Couldn't even get rid of it after the server restarted. It's a shame the devs don't worry enough about their mistakes smh
Oh right. That one. Sometimes when I crash into an "invisible wall" that happens too.
If you played more cats build you would know that these are a feature of Humans aka the only build that can use magic. But they still is a glitch similar, as BendyRiper11 said sometimes these walls spawn a exect copy of yourself wich really creepy. Edit wow : so apparently both are human constructions. I think once I'll end my current snail playthrouh I'll do my first human one. I don't like how op this build is but there's too many thing I want to see with human
@@slimyduck2140 I think that bug has something to do with the game's water reflection mechanics that make it hard to see into the water. For some reason the barriers have the same effect of spawning a copy of you but without the rest of vision obscuring features.
Dude, those huge white noisy birds are easy to deal with. My friend mains goose, I saw him take down that gigantic bird 1000X his size with one hit. He also had to respawn though, but that's beside the point. Just send in your little brother if you wanna finish off two annoying birds with one stone.
Corvids unlocked one of the most powerful features in the game: the chat room.
Remember that this does have its limitations if builds spread inaccurate information. See: Humans and conspiracies.
Let just all hope they skip the Omegle stage. I predict lots of Cloaca play. 🤢
CORVID USED CHATTER!

@@oswinnock this is only a problem for human players, whose social structures are second to eusocial structures.
one glaring thing you forgot to mention was the kiwi's ability to fire laser beams out of its eyes
He deserves S++++++++++++++++++++++++
that's on the nations dlc with the double headed eagle the boxing kangaroo and the american eagle.
Don't forget they can achieve the human exclusive ninja skill set and the programing skill set
@@adrianobastos5598 Boxing Kangaroo was such a weird addition to an Australian meta that doesn't even have Megalania or Thylacoleo anymore. I guess they noticed that the Kangaroo playerbase loves pvp so they wanted another option.
The Most Powerful Bird (Avian) Ever : The Kiwi
“Birds that are too violent for youtube” Ahh, so *that’s* why ducks aren’t here.
Ducks? Are they really that violent?
@@BridgetGX they are on par with eagles
@@BridgetGX they can be. Do yourself a favor and don’t look it up. Remain ignorant.
@@anonymousdratini if you're talking about what happens during mating season I already know. That's why female ducks have a labyrinth in their hoo hah.
@@BridgetGX that was what I was referring to. It’s not just that they’re violent it’s that they’re violent in a very not safe for youtube way
I still can’t get over the fact that he refers to extinction as “switching mains”
they simply just fell out of the meta.
as in a bird main to another main bird, a dps bird to a support bird
tbh in my personal opinion it would be more fitting if he instead said "banned build" it would make more sense to me
It wouldn't make much sense to ban a weak build, such as kiwi, so it doesn't make much sense to call them "banned builds".
@@Cooked_banana OP builds get banned. F-tier builds swap mains.
>Emu's are low tier Australia, who lost a war against them: Say sike right now.
their size and tenacity is what lead to that imagine if any of the other builds, ESPEICALLY Raptors were that size, wait you dont have to since the fear of gaint flying raptors is what led to the creation of dragons
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.
@@masansr I'd be more afraid of cassowaries than ostriches. Cassowaries will just straight up stab and cut a b****.
technically australia won because they got salty and put bounties on dem birbs
the australian army is now also low tier
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.
😊
That’s much better. Still not perfect but much better
Low C tier.
?
Hopefully it provides enough xp that you won't have to spend tons of time farming, like pandas and bamboo
You forgot that some parrot players went all in on their intelligence, which enabled the mimic ability, allowing them to be even more intimidating by mimicing a predator's roar ability, which is extremely intimidating as we all know.
Corvids can also do that, it's just not as well known.
Allat for crows be betta 😂
Thats not uncommon. Tigers can imitate prey.
If your build can be harassed by a butterfly, then you’re doing something wrong
Butterflies will drink blood, given the opportunity

great catch!
@@TierZoo Great catch indeed, but I'm disappointed that you neglected to mention the hawk's command grab, which has a 1-frame startup and doubles as a claw attack if the opponent mashes out of it. (13:46)
@@TierZoo Ba dum tssss
oh my god everything makes sense
@@Eli-db9ml yes
I like how the birds at 3:10 are just vibing
Speaking of geese relying heavily on intimidation. Once in high school when I was walking home from school I took a scenic detour through the town's only park. While crossing a bridge over a little stream I spotted a little girl, just old enough to grasp the concept of "Bird like bread" feeding the ducks. She was safe enough under the supervision of her mother and father. But that didn't stop a goose from getting mad that she ran out of bread before feeding it. It pecked her and she started crying, which prompted her father to charge the goose. It honked something fierce at her father who utterly unimpressed by its threat display grabbed it about the neck just behind its skull and swung it over his head like a lasso before hurtling it towards the lake.
Falcon: Speed Hawk: Agility Eagle: Strength Secretarybird: KiCk
Also Secretary Bird: S++ TIER
Fucking lol
LOL
Owl = Stealth
@@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?
Chickens are criminally underranked in this video. Their quick respawn makes them invaluable as team members for human mains, which has resulted in them being the most successful bird build by far, being abundant all across the planet and having more mains than any other member of the bird faction. They are considered one of the most era-defining builds of the Anthropocene, and their dominance is actually one of the strongest arguments currently in place for defining it as distinct from the Holocene.
They aren't team members they are being used for farming xp because of the fast respawn rate
@@pencilcase8068They use humans as much as they are being used. It is a truly beautiful symbiotic relationship. Thanks to their co-op with humans they have adopted a sort ant colony strat. They have opted for group survival rather than individual survival. In exchange for their xp the group gets to live on in comfort; free of disease and protection against brutal predators. They also get free food. Essentially leveling up for free. It has proven to be THE most successful strat for birds and cows and many other animals.
@@pencilcase8068 some human mains keep them as pets
There a really underrated party member, as everyone uses them to grind exp, the don’t relies the massive Mental Health buff they can give, as well as the hens spawning loot daily and the rooster granting the Early Bird perk
I’m in a party with quite a few right now, and honestly their more useful than my dog player
I am absolutely TERRIFIED of swans and I honestly think they should be S tier. There was a nest of trumpeter swans on the pond next to the farm where I used to work and they were the scariest creatures I've ever met. They've got a few more specs that he forgot to mention in this video. Smaller swans like tundra and mute swans are capable of doing a lot of damage (especially to children), and a trumpeter swan could kill you. Not only are their wings strong enough to break bones, their heads are like clubs and, unlike geese, their beaks are sharp and hard. I once watched the two in the pond go head to head with a heron build player and they beat it to death with their heads and beaks. Besides that, having been attacked by one and bitten, their saliva burns like battery acid and their teeth are sharp. And another thing to keep in mind with swans is that a lot of their attack stats are totally unknown to human players, since swans have a crazy high beauty stat. Most players don't expect swans to be dangerous or aggressive because they're so pretty, so much so that we've built this whole I'm game lore around swans all throughout the history of the game (Leda and the swan, Swan Lake, the trumpet of the swan, etc). This high beauty stat has caused high level human players to protect swans. For example, all of the mute swan builds in england are protected from all counter attacks since they all belong to the royal family. Their beauty stats are doubly high because the battle cries of the more vocal swan builds like the whooper, whistler and especially trumpeter swan are even more melodoous than the calls of the song bird build, making it hard to recognize as a sound of aggression and adding to their already insanely high beauty stat. Yes, their necks are their vulnerable point but it would be insanely hard to get close enough to exploit that weakness. I don't think the bird in the video where the guy grabbed its neck was actually a swan, I think it was just a white goose. Swans will not let you get in close enough to grab their necks like that, they'd buffet you with their wings, bite you, take off abruptly, or beat you with their head and beak. It also looked way too small to be a swan, they're practically the size of pterodactyls! Also there are many types of swans (the whistler swan comes to mind) that have thicker, shorter necks that solve this problem. overall I think their major weakness is that they nest on or next to water, and thus their eggs are at the mercy of tides and water levels. So I think personally that they're worthy of S tier, though that could just be me trying to justify my extreme fear of them.
Currently English mute swans are (mostly) protected* from human predators by their status as being owned by the monarch but the reason for royal ownership was originally for the purpose of ensuring they could be eaten by the monarch or the persons they granted that privilege to. *There are actually a couple of groups who are allowed to take a set number of swans from the Themes by ancient custom and law including a couple of London guilds.
Their wings are not strong enough to kill you, nor to break (human) bones. That's a total myth.
@@ab-up8gd it is indeed a myth that MUTE SWANS can kill you (though even they can hurt you and, though it's a very rare occurrence, there have been instances of them breaking the bones of small children). TRUMPETER SWANS on on the other hand are way bigger and very strong. They have, on average, a 7.6 ft wingspan and are one of the largest flying birds in the world. They can seriously injure and potentially kill a human, either by biting, smacking you, or shoving you underwater. Granted actual death doesn't happen very often but they are capable of doing serious damage. I edited the original comment to specify that I was talking about trumpeters. I forget sometimes that mute swans are the species most people think of when they picture a swan, not trumpeters, since I see trumpeters way more often.
@@ElizabethJones-pv3sj fair enough. I'm an American, and we tend to romanticize everything about the UK 😂
@@elfieinblack4618 Pushing you underwater is different to breaking your bones. A swan can be a serious threat in the water, sure, but on land it's not a threat at all. They rely on their intimidation factor.
You forgot the kiwi's special ability: "friend shaped"

As a user of the Corvid build, this gave me a lot of ideas for strategies! I usually use the imitation + intimidation strat against opponents with higher weight and inteligence stats, like the human class for example. Also, love the Don't starve reference! 6:02
Some humans, like myself, leave high XP loot near our bases on a regular basis specifically for corvids to keep them around I have a group of magpie mains that are always near my base because I leave loot for them, and in exchange, they keep the pigeon mains from pooping on my car and solar panels
@@mwbgaming28 it also helps that they also have a hidden meta intimidation stat thanks to their "blacklisting" of 'threats' includes making targets that wronged them as miserable as possible, thereby making other entities less likely to want to wrong them.
@@sinteleon it's been about a year since I started doing daily loot drops, and the number of magpie players that hang around my base has gone from 1 to 7 They all trust me too, getting close and personal, one even lands on my arm and lets me pet it while it gathers loot out of my hand I love corvids, very intelligent birds, the less bird poop I have to clean up, the more loot they get, my car and solar panels have been completely poop free for about a month now

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.
LOL

“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.

@@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

Fun thing about Crows, did you know that they got the generational grudge trait? If you mess with one of them, they will mess with you, and so will the rest of the flock, and so will every crow that you ever see for your entire life. Far less exaggeration then you might think.
100% the Shoebill needs to be addressed. Extremely unique bird that, in my opinion, is worthy of a video on its own.

honestly as a humming bird main, the gameplay is more rewarding for players who can only log in for a few hours a week, the objectives are short and easy so it’s more session to see on session gameplay rather than a long grind like the flamingo
I love how he talks about the extinction of the dinosaurs as “the patch notes”

The pelican is like: "Surely it doesn't fit.......hm... but what if?"
I'd say he has the wrong estimate on the peacock power stat - their claws can actually do some pretty serious damage, which comes in handy in their native Asian jungle servers where they occasionally get cornered by tigers with no escape, and use those claws as a last-ditch survival strategy. Still not a high tier build, but I'd say they're higher than he placed them.
As someone who's been attacked by one as a child, I agree. The males also have these spurs on the back of their feet that hurt extremely badly.
@ericbishop8046 my dad once saw a feral peacock living near my grandma's house (his name is Clyde) fight off like 3-4 tom turkeys together, all on his own, and he kicked their asses. We love Clyde, he's a badass.
As a Secretary Bird main, thanks for shining some spotlight to us. We always get slept on. I find that I have most success with SecBird and we are also seen as iconic sometimes to the humans.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that many falcon players who spec into high speed have to use points on a strong collarbone to survive collisions with their own food
Depends on which falcons we’re talking about, though. TierZoo is listing them entirely based on the open air pursuit predators instead of the Central and South American forest falcons who specialized into higher agility, easier intimidation checks, and a slightly higher intelligence stats. Low A-tier for sure. But there’s a group of falcons that is far and away S-tier beyond the corvids, though. It’s the caracaras. Just as intelligent as crows and company, their power and defensive stats are much higher. This means that caracaras can be proactive in taking advantage of or steering human activity to score easy kills. Corvids have to passively wait for human guilds to PVP each other. Caracaras are the only falcons who willingly pair up with humans (typically only those who have the “Driver” ability) to PVP much higher weight classes and win. In general, they are the only raptor capable of learning skills from the mammal faction, such as using money, doing circus tricks, and cooking meat. They’re the only raptors who will willingly take and consume human agricultural products and processed cereals, massively expanding their loot table. They’ll even work together to bring down difficult foes like an octopus or entire wasp colonies.
I love how tier zoo rips apart F tiers, like it’ll be the cutest animal and he’s like “fuckin useless bitch”
Is he wrong though
@@legrandnapoleon6300 Cuteness is a perfectly viable strategy to allow one to gain protection from the human playerbase despite an otherwise shit stat line.
@@Cr3zant the things is, if you are looking for human protection to be able to play, or else you wouldn't be viable, you are already admitting you are low tier. If you examine the game files carefully, they show that successful "pretty" animals are already viable on their own. But the kiwi? Hasn't gone unviable thank to humans and yet they are still on the verge of getting removed due to low playerbase.
@@mabalos I mean you say that, yet domestic dogs exist, completely incapable of existing on their own without human aid. Just look at the bulldog or poodle.
@@Cr3zant yeah but their non-domestic equivalent is actually good. There's a difference between needing another PvP class to protect you and being a support class. The oxpecker would be unviable without large mammals to cleanse, but they're clearly still a high tier.

Correct
Always has.

@Nanami Eleanor Von Steiner He explained why in the video. There were some cuts because KZhead 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 dont know what i was thinking but i read this entire thing thinking it was about the fruit kiwi
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 the first few minutes I couldn’t decide if he was taking about a game or actually about birds 😭
That turtle grabbing the pigeon and its health bar instantly going red was too good.
"In B tier, we have goose" Goose : P E A C E W A S N E V E R A N O P T I O N
Horse: “Ok” *kicks it’s face*
@@milesl-worth3300 - that kick made me wince. That had to hurt. A lot.
I have seen a goose stare down a bear without fear. The bear was the one who left. The goose’s ‘And they shall know no fear’ attribute really helps with intimidation, and makes them a solid A or even S tier coupled with the Canadian Goose subtype.
@Mr. Pokhrel - if by "better" you mean more obnoxious and asshole-y, then I totally agree with you that they're better.
Fun Fact: Ravens can mimic human speech and will often do so to confuse humans and then laugh at their confusion. Truly the most intelligent bird.
The mark of a high tier: the ability to have enough free time to do a little trolling
Parrots do it better
@@Average_Marvin They actually don't, parrots always sound like parrots but ravens can sound exactly like a human
@@thomashines3429 Cap
@@thomashines3429 don't get me wrong, crows are very smart, and can mimic perty good, but parrots are better
As someone who has an eclectus parrot, can confirm that they're absolutely S tier. He's way too smart for his own good, to the point where we have to keep him mentally stimulated with things like foraging toys or he gets *bored*. And he's a top tier shit-talker too. So glad to see parrots and corvids (my two fave birds) where they belong 🥹
Everytime I come back to this video I find one extra error. Presentation truly means everything on KZhead

In my early levels as a Human main, I was innocently imitating a Rooster player. They... Didn't take that well. Messed my shin up pretty badly. Take notes, folks- chickens may be C-tier, but they can still mess you up if you're careless- a lesson I learned the hard way! (also there was this one time I was accidentally dive-bombed by a Blue-Tanged Mot-Mot player in a zoo zone's aviary- turns out I was accidentally in the path of their Swoop attack when they were going for a bug player)
Surprised to see that Albatross didn't appear anywhere on the list, they have to be some of the most successful seabirds in the game.
The king has returned to youtube
AMEN
He's back!!
I've been waiting for so long and here's the vid!!!
Literally been waiting too long
Plz help stop Israel (modern nazis) apartheid against Palestine, it's not your problem but your gov is funding them, spread the message cause their strongest weapon is misinformation. If we together boycotted them they will be forced to stop like South Africa.
21:30 Crow on roof: “requesting airstrike on target.” Other crow: “Roger!” *whap*
Monkey: wack
Seagull: "Bombs away!" 💩
Tierzoo has clearly never been attacked by a goose, anyone who has knows their power is actually fairly high and they will use it for absolutely no reason at all. I have the scars on my legs to back that up lol
Thanks for showing me what build I should play next time I join a random server! Oh, and by the way: Your videos are incredibly entertaining and in my eyes, informative!
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.
signed
Lasers are not that good. Would be better if they have missile launchers
@@docilelikewintercatfish9897 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. (Signed)
13:45 Eagle really put the food on the ground and said “I dare you”
Lol
That was so badass tho.
Seeing such a high level strategy from an animal is awesome
& thats why their high tier players
@@benderbendingrodriguez420 they're*
It was shown in a lot of the gameplay footage but not really touched one in the commentary: a lot of the bird builds use falling damage to their advantage. Striking and stunning or staggering an opponent that's either flying or climbing will cause them to fall, so the attack itself doesn't necessarily need to do a lot of damage since the impact will finish the job.
Kiwi put all points into charisma and now hes ultra cute.
He should make a bug tier list, for example ants, primantus, wasps etc.
on my to-do list :)
It be way to long
Hell yes boiiiiii
Or beetles and scorpions
Oh no spoilers!!!!! C:
No seagulls? I would've thought they would be easily A tier, considering how well they've adapted to human territory. I rarely see dead seagulls, and they can usually best a matchup between cats, the most prominent urban bird hunters, but they can fly away from dogs. They can still fight for their own in the wild. They can also steal human items for loot and xp.
I think he put it a tier higher than pigeon. Afterall he shows a clip of seagull looting in pigeon section.
It vexes me greatly how good that stupid troll build is.
"Mine!" -Random seagull
I saw a seagull getting eaten by a hawk at my school
@@swordsman1137 He showed seagulls, but didn't rank them. Wtf.
Shrikes. A unique form of passerine with the hunting prowess of a raptor albeit with different weaponry, along with a unique base building ability that chooses intimidation and stockpiling loot.
Gotta give props to the Black Kite build found on the Australian server, aka Black Firebird. When hairless apes use fire to clear brush, the kites gorge on the insects disrupted by the blaze. They will then use the environmental weapon of glowing embers, carry them in their talons to new areas, and drop them to start new fires to continue the feast. At least A tier.
"If I've missed any of your favourite birds," Dude, you put all three of them in S tier. I am MORE than pleased!
He missed ducks tho :(
Raven and crows are best
Where did ospreys go? He mentioned it being among the S tier on raptor video.
Damn, that eagle taking down the mountain goat using the cliff rocks at 18:07 is just insane! [ btw, glad to see that the Penguin didn't end being bottom tier ]
Hi
Hi I live in Montana and I’ve seen this happen it’s really cool Until a Mountain goat corpse lands on your car
@@perfectbotgreg5119 that sounds like a personal experience
Anyone who watched Penguins of Madagascar series knows that Penguins are S++ tier
That was the most brutal thing in the entire video. Imagine if you were hiking and this happened to you. Even worse, you might still be alive when the bird starts eating you...
The production values of these videos are top tier
hilarious, love the music and the way you presented the material.
Capybara: Are you done? Pelican: ... yeah.
"Fit in mouth? No? Okay..."
The Pelican trying to eat the Capybara is always just so funny to me
The capybara simply *is*.
@@SigFigNewton the pelican is disgusting like bears literally everything is food .
"Your aggression is no match for my rotundness"
If Pelican , pelican If Pelican't , pelican't
"... although it DOES have its limitations." That dry timing on the commentary with that visual is the best xD
As a kiwi main, it's tough out here. Unfortunately, a lot of people are switching mains. I really wish they would buff the kiwis or at least ban cats and carnivorous mammals in the NZ servers. It was so much better before mammals were whitelisted to the servers, but now it's pretty much impossible to recruit new players.
fortunately, as an apology from the human mains that introduced them, there are some specific sanctuaries for kiwi mains and similarly vulnerable species that prevent all kiwi mains from going away
Kiwi kinda op if you consider pre human contact when they had no predators apart from maybe moas? The kiwis would just go munching on insects all day without a care in the world
