I'm an animator and this is fantastic reference. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this
Love to see this comment
Haha, I’m also watching this video for raven flight reference right now now
@@Gloria.1108 same! the slow motion flight is so beautiful
Yeah, I'm a 3d artist and found this useful for how to make the form of the wings.
I love seeing their feathers ripple in the wind as they fly. Absolutely beautiful.
I was thinking the same thing. The music was a great touch too, it really accentuated the beauty and grace of these birds and what they do.
Ravens are my favourite birds so this was AWESOME
SAME!
I also have a thing for Crows. They are crazy birds, noisy and are fearless when in a group against a hawk.
Same
4:40 + Discussing raven's wingtips: the separation of big feathers is found in many large gliders. It's an adaptation to spoil tip vortices. Commercial aircraft now have vertical winglets for the same reason.
I've been in the avian field now for nearly 30yrs. I've had the privilege of working "hands on" with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey and Budgies to Macaws. And i must say my favorite species are the "Corvid" family of birds. Whether it's Jays to Jackdaws, Rooks to Magpies, or Crows to Ravens. The intelligence of these birds never ceases to amaze me. They can learn to speak just as good as any parrot i've come across particularly Ravens. And when it comes to aerial acrobatics it's REALLY tough to find another "perching bird" that has the same fluid grace in flight that Ravens possess. So this was a great video to watch granted nothing will outclass a Peregrine Falcon. But Ravens sure as hell come close folks. If there in your area it would do you good to watch these guys soaring around performing there aerial stunts. It's quite a site to see indeed...:)
tomtalker2000 I'm no expert, but they seem to be one of the few "perching birds" who can give a run for the raptors' money in terms of size and physical prowess
tomtalker2000 Do you pop up everywhere? I been reading the beginning of your comment on many bird videos.
I try to be as helpful as i can to those that are interested in the subject matter. Otherwise they would have never clicked on the video in the first place...:)
The will give a raptor a run for there money. As i've said before in other videos of these birds having aerial "dog fights" with birds of prey. Most raptors will give them a wide berth knowing full well that they cannot out class them in flight. Ravens are around 27in with a 4-4.5ft wingspan weighing in at around 2pds or so. Where as there smaller Corvid cousins crows say the most common and largest species the American Crow. Are around 18-20in 3ft wingspan weighing in at around 1lbs. So big big difference between the two. Plus ravens beaks are thicker and have a hook at the tip especially made for ripping and tearing into flesh like a raptor has. The may still lack the formidable talons a bird of prey has. But the make up for it ten fold with there beaks. And can VERY easily kill mice, rats, other birds like puffins smaller shorebirds etc...Believe it or not i've actually witnessed an American Crow killing a gray squirrel. Certainly NOT your everyday occurrence. And it took A LOT of effort and about a hour for the crow to fully immobilize plus kill the squirrel. But they can do it and this one did...!!! It was quite a sight to see. Now if it had been a raven it would have been FAR easier. Given there larger size and hooked beaks.
These slo-mo films of animals are some of the best things I've ever watched. Quite emotional! Keep up the superb work!
Their grace and beauty hurts my heart.. what's wrong with me!? Anyways, beautiful vid. I adore animals in general and seeing the speed and agility of these gorgeous birds in slo-mo is a joy. Thanks guys!
The raven was so very beautiful and fluid in the second clip "acrobatic demonstration". I would love to see more alongside the lovely music.
Well done to the BBC Earth team and Lloyd. Not easy shots to get off a set of legs and handheld on a grass runway. Beautiful shots of the birds doing what they do naturally. Lots of fun driving that day and well worth the effort. Respect guys & gals...
I'm oh so envious of whoever has that Raven for their pet.
The part where the raven grabs the food in mid air is incredible!
that was a falcon the raven is the black one.
jake clark 5:14
aimbot mostly !
That raven's a total Bro, did you see how he caught that peace of food in mid air? Imagine him in college parties.
Rofl dude, top comment
Rigo R.M نتننة
Rigo R.M Remember this Old comment?!?
The can talk like parrots to
Yeah
Man... This must have been the millionth time I've watched this video... I can't really get tired of watching how those feathers move as they move their wings...
slow motion is already cool on it's own, but you guys consistently pump out the MOST impressive and unique bird shots on the internet. instant favorite, like, and share.
We're glad you enjoyed the video! We release a new Slo Mo every Thursday so don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out.
0:42 why does the music felt like the falcon is about to sacrifice himself for humanity
Ravens are so nice and cool birds I wish I had one lol
Warui Kashu me too. I want to have a Raven
@@Nuhuh130 Let's have them ;^)
Warui Kashu where can we buy one? Lol
@@Nuhuh130 I have no idea :c, but on the bight side they live everywhere so we can hunt them XD
Ravens are the smartest birds in the animal kingdom. The bird (raven) is the word.
***** they can mimic speech just like parrots
+HungryHyena They are as smart as, possibly smarter than, chimpanzees. It would not surprise me to find they were sapient.
they are not only smartest birds, but probably top 3 smartest animals.
I read somewhere that they experience life just like humans do. And I'm not that surprised.
Nuna Actually the only bird that arguably surpasses the crow in intelligence is the Kea
I love these slow mo videos. The birds are beautiful! Thank you, guys!
LOL the raven pooped on 3:58
This was an example of grace, simply amazing.
4:00 the raven took a crap wow so majestic
Was I the I only one before watching thinking they were going to battle to the death
Are you sick? It's a video of two great flyers in detail.
marsvltor2 Calm down, they obviously mean the video title can be misinterpreted as it does not indicate that the versus is in relation to their features
same
Me too
not a chance ravens are hunted by the peregrine.....I watched as a kid on a farm a falcon hitting crows and pidgeons plucking them out of the sky at speed.
Am voting for the Great Corvus!
Fantastic video. Thank you so much for filming this . SENSATIONAL.
Absolutely awesome footage. Corvids win every time for me. intelligent, acrobatic and charismatic to boot Thanks
just watching two majestic wonderful animals. in slow mo thank you.
this is amazing for me to watch because the raven is the third biggest bird where i live and its amazing watching those things going up against eagles and hawks for food
You cease to amaze me.
You fellas have the best job in the world.
this is really fun to watch guys...great production / post production work!
Dragons. Absolute dragons.
This is awesome! Nature is amazing and very inspiring.
Ravens are amazing!
whoa, such amazing footage, so cool
This has got to be one of the best channels ever.
Lovely video, quite an excellent example of these majestic creatures!
It must be sooo awesome to fly
Those were amazing shots!
Great job.
That was amazing! Fantastic video and really enjoyed it!
Very nice and beautyfull birds . Falcon and Raven . I love birds. Machen Sie weiter derartige Videos.
Great video - beautiful birds
3:59 Crow: Peregrine falcon are shit! **takes a shit** 😂😂😂
there was no Crow in this only a Raven
VSGU TheOPCrown Same shit.
Natty S No it's not
Crows and Ravens are as different as Cheetahs and Leopards
Firebrand No quite i can name more differances with leopards and cheetahs :)
I like birds so much
+magda Gettner If it's genuine,....nice name:)
🐦 Birds are gay 🐦
Even raptors don't have such good mid - air catching skills like crows and ravens.
Ahwwww Hell Yea great video thanks so much for sharing really enjoyed the show.
Fantastic video, thanks :)
Wow, Super Epic!! Awesome video!
My two favorite wild birds!
Great footage, thanks.
wow!!! stunning work. wow
This is so cool oh my goodness the quality is AMERZING.
Absolutely awesome! Both the peregrine falcon n raven are incredible masters of flight in very different ways. Remember both Bran n Moses featuring on other nature documentaries on TV & they are both beautiful birds!
Great upload!
Beautiful videos of both birds. Absolutely incredible. All birds are fun to watch, and each seems to have their own style of flying. Once a American Falcon ended up in my backyard, a female youngster who just needed a few more days to strengthen it's wing muscles. I fed it some beef, chicken and bison. Beautiful bird, now off flying around chasing down little birds and rodents.
One word that describes how these birds fly and hunt is "Precision".
Bloody brilliant that!
Beautiful
awesome work guys
Great shots. I love this kind of video's. My greenwing macaw was in a tv commercial recently with slow motion shots and she looked spectaculair in flight.
Amazing!
So beautiful.
Baltimore Ravens vs Atlanta falcons
One is currently the only team undefeated in multiple Super Bowls. The other choked on the same number of Super Bowls
ZhangK71 I am Ravens fan. Go Ravens!
Really beautiful footage :^)
Birds are awesome creatures
Great video !
Wow, thanks guys!
Team Raven cuz it can use its sharp eyes for hunting smaller prey and its also fast and intelligent
i think im in love with this channel
this one was great!!!
cool video. thanks
u ppls r jst awesome
my god what a magnificent bird that peregrine falcon is
That's mesmerizing. Makes me wish I was a bird. :)
As a guy from the scandinavian north, I have to go for the Raven since they where Odin's eyes in midgard :) BUT, both are fantastic animals.
The Slo Mo guys have some awesome stuff like this as well xD just sillier most of the time haha,liked-subbed off to watch more slo mo =)
I never knew Ravens where that awesome.
Ravens are among the smartest of all birds. They got real character too, very mischievous and great problem solvers.
Firebrand There's a reason why people don't generally like them but they don't despise them either, because we can't help respecting them in a way.
Yeah they've been in a slump ever since Ray Lewis retired but Lamar Jackson is gonna make them awesome again
Amazing 🔝🔝🔝👌👏😊💫👍
Ravens are fantastic birds, so smart and misterious. Falcon is my patronus.
Watched a raven invade a nest of three Osprey chicks and proceed to slowly tear them to pieces…………………………………….So absolutely cannot stand them. I mean three helpless chicks they cannot do anything to protect themselves. Just ripped to shreds……………..slowly and meticulously.
Great ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome work guys! Now let's see if you can do Kevin, the Pigeon! 😂
at 3:59 the bird shit! lol XD
nice video,very interesting
A raven named Bran, eh? I think I see what you're going for there.
two scoops of raven?
curtsher11 Clever, but not what I had in mind
A popular Westerosi breakfast cereal (I done used BOTH your jokes!).
The sixth sick shiek's sixth sheep's sick?
Bran actually means Raven in Gaelic Irisg
0:53 is an awesome shot-
Parabéns, vídeos excelentes..
why doesn't this have more views its awesome :D
Wow 😍❤️
Am I the only person who thinks it's cool that the raven's named Bran? Bran, as in the Game of Thrones character who has visions of a raven when he sleeps?
Actually, bran is the word for crow or raven in Celtic languages.
Cool

I love that the raven is named Bran. I'm just getting the reference now.
Good name for a raven, even just a two-eyed raven.
it seems the falcon has a second flying mode for high speed chase. here it folds the wings when it up beats but I saw it can flap like insects or colibri birds as well to give it thrust on the up stroke as well
Does anyone have any idea what the Music playing during the first Raven Slow Motion footage?
Im wondering also
No dislike! impressive
Before I experienced the Barn Owls, the ravens were my favorite birds
They also have different patterns of how they bring their wings back up.
