Belted Kingfishers Build Nests Out of the Bones of their Prey
Belted kingfishers are some of the greatest hunters in North America, and amazing engineers who use every part of their prey.

Kingfisher: That was a delicious dinner. And it gave my vomit a perfect feng shui for the nursery.
A wuh? 💀
Hahahaha 😂😂 nice
@@pughshipp What’s the skull for?
But, it's the rug that really ties the place together.
@@blackpeter70 😂🤣
Had no clue the kookaburra was a type of kingfisher, but on reflection that totally makes sense. Coolness.
Licorice?
Biggest kingfisher in the world! My mum has a fishpond and has to replace the fish every 2 years, thanks to the breeding pair of kookaburras that live in the gumtree above it.
First time I saw a belted kingfisher I thought it was a kookaburra
And toucans are a type of woodpecker!
@@marvalice3455 Not convinced toucans are a type of woodpecker.... they're related at a suborder level (pici), but not family or genus. They're less closely related than chickens are to turkeys (same subfamily) and you wouldn't say a turkey is a type of chicken......
I heard and saw a Belted Kingfisher at the pond and I wanted to make sure I had identified it correctly. This presentation was very informative. Thank you 🌸
Hi this video is about me!
LOL
congrats lmao
Wow, yes ☺️.
Hey, you were great in the video :)
Me too 😊
I usually build a necklace with the bones of my prey, but this is way more badass.
Oh doodoo poop, u always know what to say 🤗
Who is your prey
@@Temerityofficial21201 anyone who replies to his comments 🤫🤭
@@Holybeast1234 someones breaking in pls help
Perhaps the bird was the inspiration for the skull throne.
I watch them fish better than me every morning at the river. They always seem like confident, proud little birds
Clearly the Queen is gonna win that battle, she ain’t messing around
She has messed up the evolution of most her own species in the first place 😂
clearly the queen is going to be extinct soon. :)
A tough old bird vs an actual bird. Their battle will be legendary.
I sure do love me some fish!
I'd love to see a video about Blue Jays. Their behaviour is so interesting and I feel like this get criticized more than they should.
Check out Leslie the Bird Nerd here on KZhead. She does a lot with Jays.
They're also an corvid Intelligence +
They're amazing birds. My mom whistles for them and they come for their morning peanuts.
I would love an episode about burrowing owls!
Just wanna say, from all the bird nerds, THANK you for the World of Birds series! Love it! Also, would love to see a video on brown thrashers.
I know it's a very common one but the black cap chickadee is the mightiest little bird ever and deserves a video from you lovely Canadians
In The Bahamas, we have the Loggerhead Kingbird; it's one of those more terrestrial Kingfishers. They are interesting in that the previous year's offspring will hang around and help raise those of the current year before eventually setting out to find their own territories.
I am doing a bird project for school and this was by far the most helpful thing i watched
Ah. So owls aren't the only birds hacking up pellets. Interesting.
I watched an Australian magpie cast a pellet once! It seems like lots of birds do it.
Any bird that eats stuff it can’t digest likely hacks pellets
I’ve had the honor of watching these beautiful creatures fish in person a few times in my life so far. Such a cool experience.
I loved this episode. Things restricted to Canada... This what I am looking for NEXT!
Ok, but imagine an eagle sized version of these.
So, a bald eagle?
They exist and they're called kookaburras :)
*Gets impaled by giant kingfisher* (Dies)
Osprey :)
@@SaintNevermore Oh yeah ospreys are like big kingfishers thanks for mentioning it
I've wanted to know more about Roadrunners for quite some time now but strangely, not a lot of places talk in depth about them. Would be amazing to see your coverage of them one day :)
I'd love an episode of the collared dove, that little world conqueror is so beautiful yet so ignored...
Would love to see some Spoonbill, but any content you bring has an amazing quality!
I'd like to see an episode on avian brood parasites. You know Cowbirds, Cuckoos and the like
I second this. Cowbirds have recently shown up in our area.
I have never heard of cowbirds
@@louissungmokcho9823 ok so they behave like cattle egrets when cattle steps on grass insects will come out so they eat them also they eat ticks and lice from cows
@@louissungmokcho9823 I know it because Rosalie Stevenson said avian brood parasites
Your videos keep me going more than some internet therapists.
My favorite bird to see while trout fishing on small streams and rivers. They're so precise and successful.. almost like their mocking my fishing skills. 😛
Look at the picture at 4:59. Is it possible that the colored band is to mimic the branches they next in? It looks like a similar color to the branch. I could see that might be a bit of camouflage used to trick predators into thinking there's something in the way. I donno. I might be an idiot who's just overthinking things.
Nice idea
They nest in burrows, so not likely.
@6:02 The Kingfisher put a whole new meaning into the term " well oiled machine"!
This bird deserves a more badass name
I really love birds, especially the kingfisher. Their fishing style is so fascinating.
I love these birds. During dinner tonight, as we were looking at our beautiful view of the stream behind our house, we saw a Kingfisher dive right into the water and came up with a fish. It was great dinner theater.
Fun fact, kookaburras were introduced into Western Australia (from their native eastern seaboard) to deal with the "snake problem", and have since wrought environmental havoc. Is there a story in that?
Probably but Idk if that's up this channel's alley
Why can’t the Australians just leave anything alone
@@BensCooking I take it you're English? the birds were taken west in 1896 -- 125 years ago -- by the English masters. Let's examine what other sins they committed at the time and since.
These birds have found the perfect combination of survival elements against humans. They're pretty enough to attract our eyes and small enough to deter our stomachs.
Love when you can go out and actually bird with the film crew. Since I am from BC I will never see a Cardinal, they would be interesting. Also feature a migratory songbird that we are losing because of winter habitat loss, hazardous migration routes and maybe the scientist studying the animal which had found out that we are losing them and why we are losing them. A Greater and/or Lesser Prairie Grouse is also an iconic bird that we are losing.
I was kinda interested in the bird but the host kept me glued 😍
Lightening plunge is a key feature of kingfishers. Also, takeoff from the water or how emerge is equally spectacular.
that joke about the kingfisher's manners not impressing the Queen somehow aged both like milk and a good wine at the same time
i saw a belted kingfisher yesterday, they're pretty cool birds
Do one on the ivory billed woodpecker next please
“But we’ll just see who wins that evolutionary battle” *SHOTS FIRED*
we have a Kingfisher that lives in our cove here in Southeast Alaska, amazing hunters!
Bird: *swoops down and eats fish* Other fish: Where did Jerry go?
I was wondering in the beginning of the video that I doubt I will ever get to see it in Toronto and 3 minutes into the video, lo and behold, the video was shot in Toronto. I guess I need to keep my eyes open more often
Land, sea, and sky all in one adorable package neat
Thanks so much for this information! I have seen belted kingfishers around, but learned so much about them from this video. I appreciate all the work you did to assemble and share this information.
I would love to see an episode on the kiwi, their so weird and wonderful
For some reason, I like this video much, much better than a lot of the others 🙂
It’s me isn’t it
Ditto 😉
"It builds its nest with the bones of its prey." Nathan Explosion: "Brutal."
I'd love to see you cover black-capped chickadees!
I saw these during my canoe trip at Algonquin Park in Ontario! Magnificent animals!
In Germany they are called "Eisvogel", wich translates to "ice bird", since the one species that lives in Germany is blue, with an orange bottom.
I was not prepared for how adorable that baby was gonna be. Ohhh.
Could you do an episode on Quaker Parrots AKA Monk Parakeets, in particular the feral populations common in cities?
I can hear and spot that bird anywhere I love the river life.
Kookaburras in Australia have even been known to eat snakes and lizards!
I would love to see an episode about storks or heron
The red winged blackbird is one of my favorite birds! Cover it please!!
Please make a video about the quetzal, it's my favourite animal
Very informative. One of my favorite birds. I see them often fishing just a few feet away from my window. Thanks!
World of Birds is amazing as always, keep up the awesome content
I see a lot of those by my place in winter, when it's a little colder. Super skittish birds. Very shy, very hard to approach, but always easy to spot with their very distinct call.
I've heard that rattle my whole life. I knew it was some sort of bird but never knew which one. Fascinating.
Dragon: I litter my den with the bones of my prey! Kingfisher: Ha! You are WEAK! I build my den FROM the bones of my prey! Now hand over all your fish.
Have seen these birds hunt before on my hikes. They are metal af.
Great video, I actually recognize the park you filmed at and go there all the time to photograph birds!
Lol the vomit sfx 😂
That is the most metal title I've ever read!!
Belted kingfishers are amazing!!
Yes, yes I am
Kingfishers are cool. The way they sing out, they stand out in the cacophony of song birds in woods.
Suggestion: Chickadees! Chicka-dee-dee-dee-dee!
4:39 She has a heart above her eye :p
Suggestion: The Vampire Finch.
Excellent! My precious birds are getting appreciation.
I had no idea kookaburra were kingfishers
Hi Aranya! I love your opening remarks! It was great seeing your presentation from PNG.
I would love to know more about the desert cuckoo like one from the cartoon with cuckoo and coyote :3 But I enjoy any other topic as well!
Yes! Roadrunner! My fav
@@brynadoodle 🥰🌟
Making your home out of the bones of your foes. Yeah. That's metal.
Nice! Was this at Tommy Thompson Park?
added to my list just yesterday in the morning!
Thanks for letting us know that Kokabura's are kingfishers too.
I live in Canada and I have never seen of these in my whole life I can't even recall a point in time where I heard that call they make
Love animalogic 🦆💚🦆💚
Excellent! Peregrine Falcons! I make knife handles with the bones and antlers of my kills, that way they remain useful for years. Thanks for the video.
I had no idea they were so widespread (or that the laughing kookaburra is closely related). I thought they were a purely European bird.... that's amazing!
Imagine you are having a date with your fish-mate your date is now a diet of a monster above.
Thank you so much!! your passion and genuine love for the animals you speak of is amazing. I feel the same way myself and love seeing it in others. ALSO! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! AWESOME VIDEO HERE I WENT OUT AFTER WATCHING AND FOUND A DRN KINGFISHER SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CREATURE! Ducks were what really got me into birding specifically, and i live in BC so we have countless migratory species come through. Wood ducks we saw only a few months into our journey, and had only previously seen pictures. We were blown away! Seeing that magnificent mandarin duck, causing me to conciquencially ID it and research a litte... MY WEEK HAS BEEN MADE! they are so dang beautiful, and instead of seasonally choosing a partner; they're like geese and are in most cases monogamous for liiidiffiifffiffeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A video about freshwater mammals would be great such as freshwater dolphins etc
Please talk about the Swift (Apus apus) ! My absolute favorite bird who spends most of its life in the air, doing air loops in amazing speeds and drink on the go! Because of us humans they are threatened and numbers go down way too fast!🥺 I live in Sweden and they are fairly common in the city’s but greatly taken for granted..!
This bird is Metal!
Could you please do the Wandering Albatross, it's an amazing bird
I have never seen a kingfisher lose it's prey 🎯
It has been a while since I taught biology, but I am pretty sure that grasshoppers *are* invertebrates.
Could you please do a video about Loons?!
How bout a video on the Eastern Screech Owl? Powerful predator for its size and isn't picky about its prey. Spooky sound during the night in the winter and spring. Can make its home almost anywhere, as long as there's enough trees.
Great video, I love all the passion that you put in your job.
Still waiting for Danielle to do a video about Mountain Lions! 🐈
This bird is *Metal* 😂
'Evolutionary battle'?? These amazing birds have been incredibly and intelligently designed.
@@Antonio-Gransci'Crationism'? Debunked by whom?
It's great to see a video filmed in Tommy Thompson Nature Preserve! Have you done a video on the black-crowned night heron, also found there? I love that weird bird
Amazing bird, love to watch them
so you are not gonna talk about that duck??? am i the only one who wants to hear more about that duck?
i would love to see an episode for Philippine eagle. I'm every intrigued and amazed of the specie's appearance. I'm also curious of it's evolutionary history. I'm sure there's many other people out there like me.
