That little dinosaur is very talented.

Birds never cease to amaze me.

I have a profound respect for researchers who discover facts like this!

Manakins are some of the most unique little birds in the world.

that is so out there. crazy..amazing

Why does this make me laugh so much

neat

Fascinating, although I will admit that the way Wikipedia described it I thought it would be more musical.

Me encato es sensacional simplemente hermoso!!!

that little bird is cute!

WOOOOOW! FANTASTIC! THANK YOU!

Nature is extraordinary!

Fascinating

Nature is wonderful in all its nuances

Fascinating!

Actually, there's lots of sound when you jump in water... but I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. At this point, I'm assuming it's because of the the distance from the wing base to the feather tips. It's like waving a bamboo: You can get a high pitch sound if you shake the stick at the base.

xD I love how mother nature has to keep giving humanity, and our need to classify and 'know' everything, a big middle finger.

Incredible!!

***Another piece of the 'intelligent design' puzzle...fits in perfectly! So cool.

amazing...

it's adorable (: i want to squeeze it

Wow! I learned something totally new today.

It's so cute!

Fantastic!!!

holy shit that bird is awesome GO NATURE GO! DON'T LET HOLYWOOD COME UP WITH ALL THE GOOD IDEAS! MAKE CRICKET BIRDS!!!! XD

NATURE IS SO COOL

Very beautiful bird.

Thats so cool.

Wow! Cool!

Miracle of life

Too cool

Nature never ceases to amaze me with something new. Just when you thought science covered it all. :)

extremely awesome

Beutifull, Just Beautifull!

♥ I Am Loving This Video ♥ Thank You For Sharing This Video ♥

LOL the bird looks funneh. this made meh laugh :PP

so cute

Wow, I'm impressed.

damn! That's one helluva vibrator!

that is so cool

Man, I love birds

Wow this is cool!

Awesome NationalGeographic

COOL!

CUTE!!

cool!

whoah thats so cool

@Green4321 Likewise.

man that is really cool. I wonder how that feature developed over time.

thats really neat!!!!

it's one hell of a dancer too.

thats kinda cool how the birds can use their wings to produce sound

Nature rules!

dayyymmmm!

this bird can slap u like 1000 times in a minute lol

Well the definition of "noise" is based on opinion so while we all disagree, your point is valid :D

The moth cultured Dino descendant mothbirdasaures who’s Mount Probable top-stopped on a topping that may lead it to it it’s own extinction. “Decadence” happened to this creature of Universal Light, UL. It’s Beautifully recognized that way to me anyway.

sweet

i want 1 for christmas XD

cool! :D

haha. but in a nice way, : ) could not agree MORE

Listened to a Radio Lab podcast about this bird - very interesting - in order to support the speed of that vibration, the bird has a solid wing bone. What is interesting is that a solid (instead of hollow bone, as is the norm with birds) impedes on its ability to fly. So...as a species, this bird has a unique condition that prioritizes this mating ritual over an ability to more easily escape predators...wow! And, as an aside...as a Christian who believes in God as the creator of the Universe as well as micro-evolution (small changes over time, but not 1 species becoming another species), I appreciate Science for explaining the "How" of things scientifically through observation/testing...but generally glaze over when the next leap is into very theoretical (unscientific) explanations of the "Why" or a detailed account of things they believe happened millions of years ago.

prob has something to do with the feathers' stabiliy or lack of it. when you jump into the water, you dont get a 1Hz sound either (

bro a forklift💀

Thats fucken Dope.

Same noise as the boarding pass scanner at Dublin airport

new subscriber

new study? Frances Pitt wrote an article on birds making music with their fethers in Geographical magazine 1939

again CUTEEEEE

@jlambertstl, wow, true. I assume you're a physics professor?

Wow this vid older than me

I love that comment!!!!

thanks^^ im getting at it :P ive had it for like 5 days and im feeling better. itll be gone by tomorrow i think :)

i wish i could do that

R2-D2 must be behind the bird.

a birds wings faster than a hummingbird!? WICKED!

@vonijoe lol :)

I have to catch that pokemon

At 0:25 the narrator says bird vibrates its wings at more than 100 cycles per second (100Hz), but then at 0:37, she says the feathers vibrate at 1500Hz. How is this possible? How can the wings vibrate so "slowly" (100Hz) but create such a high pitch sound (1500Hz)?

can it play other pitches

So nice to see these amazing animals! Look well, people, because for some of you who are still going to be around in 50 years, look well, because these birds and hundreds of thousands of other species plus hundreds which have yet to be discovered, will all be extinct in the wild. As it stands, 70% of insects and a similar amount of fish have been wiped out and the birds will naturally follow; in the inner city park where I walk every day I rarely hear any birds except crows. So look well; you'll likely never see this bird even in a zoo before they're all wiped from the face of the earth by habitat loss and climate change. SO SAD

What.

beep boop

🇪🇨

thats pretty much where i was getting at, but i chose to play it safe to avoid people like jlambertstl. about the water thing, i dont even know how i made a connexion between those two... see, i have the swine flu, so my brain is severely fucked up at the moment...

How many manikins species in the world

Omg at least let us listen to the bird better

reaally?! Which one?

that bird was actually singing one of those Lady Gaga songs .

WTF... the ad shown under my video is some product of edible bird nest.... X( what a sarcasm

Singing? That's what it wants you to think.........It's actually mooning the world when he does that....

cool....oh ya and FIRSTto spell first in all caps

@demoniclordwizard Really? I suppose they are descended from wizards?

that's od...even slowed down its still too fast to see

Sounds like clefable

a unique features singing wutg uts wubgs

What about pigeons?

if you respect the science, you don't attribute this animal to god any more than rainbows to unicorns. it was not designed by omnipotence, it was evolved by natural pressures. either way, it was unknown to man until these researchers came along, so i give them thanks.
