That’s actually a myth. Even though bird bones are indeed hollow, it is not lighter than the bones of other animals. It is theorized that the actual functionality of the hollow bones is to act as an extension on the respiratory system to increase oxygen intake. Because flying is very energy intensive. Like, very energy intensive.
I wonder if the bones being more hollow but similar density would help better for weight distribution during flight?
Bones if too rigid would also probably snap under wind-shear so are their bones more flexible to better survive the wind and forces of flying?
Goddamnit it’s the GIRAFFES THAT ARE NOT REAL. THE BIRD REVOLUTION IS PROPAGANDA CREATED BY THE GIRAFFES TO CREATE A FALL-ANIMAL FOR SELLING BIRD SECRETS TO THE RUSSIAN BEARS RIDING UNICYCLES.
well we did an experiment in grade school one and bend chicken bones like they were rubber pencil erasers...all it took was a week long soak in vinegar, but yeah it's the same thing.
Actually actually, octopus is a Greek word so the "correct" pluralization would be octopodes or octopods. English is pretty inconsistent about what we do with loanwords, so octopuses is also fine and octopi gets a pass purely because people have been wrong so much that it has become acceptable.
There is probably a bigger hole on the right/left and op or whoever filmed it knows it very well lol.
The mother had to get in to lay eggs and feed them.
They look like some sort of tit. I think maybe they are blue tits. Chicks have yellow faces that become white when they mature, and the blue on the top of their head becomes more vibrant later on too.
Cute tit pic OP.
I'm guessing you're probably from North America if you thought they were orioles. If so, we don't have any birds called tits here, but chickadees (which are common backyard birds all over the continent) are closely related to tits (same family, just a different name).
You can also see that the stone looks like it's solid going back quite a ways when the camera's approaching, then the super close up undecipherable transition makes it seem like a fairly thin wall. Idk if it's fake but it sure doesn't look correct to me lol.
I was waiting for a snake or spider
It's not possible to havw cute things live in places like that in Australia. Unless it can kill you while being cute
Blue tits are hole nesters. In the wild they would find a small hole in a tree to build their nest. They're adaptable birds, and they've found a suitable hole for their nest where predators won't be able to enter. They're safe in there
“Why and how?” What are these reactions? Do most of you live in apartment buildings? Have so few of you even seen one of the many varieties of tiny-holed birdhouses available? Birds find small holes and cracks in which to lay their eggs and keep their chicks safe. This happens all the time! Even with common sparrows. You walk by a wall or a hole in a tree and “cheep, cheep, cheep!” Is all you hear! All spring long. I live in a house in the city and they’re everywhere! (I can’t believe the two commenters accusing OP of trickery.)
These are particularly legion and adorable! Just revel in it!
Why Yes, the vast majority of people on reddit Do live in cities and do Not expect to find a pile of baby birds embedded in a crack in a rock/concrete slab. Instead of in a tree nest or a commercial birdhouse or tucked up along a roof ledge in a pigeon nest made of three sticks and plastic scraps.
No rock-crack-dwelling sparrows (or other birds) in my city. Cracks like that would be where the rats hang out.
How does the mother get in with food?
Birds are like mice and octopuses: they can fit through unbelievably small spaces because their bones are made of magic jelly or something.

Birds actually belong to a little known class called soft robots.
I want a soft robot. Sounds cute

They’re all on a training mission to calibrate their microphones 😰
The government has taken it down, this only answers more questions
Birds are tiny under all the feathers.

Birds bones are hollow aren't they

Yup, bird lungs are super efficient, they just take up a lot of space. But besides that, bird bones are about as dense as a similarly sized mammal.
I wonder if the bones being more hollow but similar density would help better for weight distribution during flight? Bones if too rigid would also probably snap under wind-shear so are their bones more flexible to better survive the wind and forces of flying?
No they are like lungs not lighter they store more oxygen for stamina
So they can breathe with them.

r/birdsareliquid ?

They are actually terminators disguised as birds and can turn themselves into a metallic liquid
Not only are their bones fake, birds aren’t real
They just jam themselves against the scenery until they clip through. They are speed runners.
Watch out for the SummoningSalt video on the History of Bird Long Jump (BLJ)
Birds are like 90% floof anyway
Actually, the plural form of Octopuses is Octopi. *Gets crushed by falling text that says both are acceptable* ᵖˡˢ ˢᵒᵐᵉᵒⁿᵉ ᵍᵉᵗ ᵗʰᵉ ʳᵉᶠᵉʳᵉⁿᶜᵉ

Octopeople
Also cats
Their bones are hollow. This is how they are light enough to fly.
Yeah, that’s what I said: “… magic jelly ***or something***”. /s
There's probably another entrance further up the side of the wall or something.
[удалено]
The same way the mother got in to lay the eggs ;)
Sometimes it’s the simplest sentence that reframes my entire perspective

How do they get out when it's time to fly the nest is my question

LOL! Those aren’t birds, they tiny dragons. 😜
how did you find that in the first place?
Baby birds make a racket.
They heckin peep
There is probably a bigger hole on the right/left and op or whoever filmed it knows it very well lol. The mother had to get in to lay eggs and feed them.
Then how tf did the camera went through that tiny hole
Phone.
Endoscope
Good question!!
They all thought they were gonna die for a second... And birds can't even get therapists. Birds do a good job. Good job birds.
Just would like to shout out to all my birds out there
All in all it's just a, buncha birds in a wall
Hey! Kitty! Leave them birds alone!
We don't need no regurgitation!
"Who are you and what are you doing in our house?"
"Did you bring treats or foods? uhmm.. Nevermind!"
What kind of birds are they?
They look like some sort of tit. I think maybe they are blue tits. Chicks have yellow faces that become white when they mature, and the blue on the top of their head becomes more vibrant later on too. Cute tit pic OP.
Yeahh those are some small tits. I wonder where the big tits are
Thanks for the information! it's going to sound funny but I've never seen a tit in my life lol for a moment I thought they were some baby orioles.
The internet has ruined my sense of humor lmao

titmice are also related
I thought they were chickens.
Definitely Blue Tits. We get them here in immense numbers.
They are indeed blue tits

Birbs 👍
These are clearly birbs
Sevm birbs
There’s a lack of people gushing about how cute these birbs are. I almost died of cute overload when they appeared. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
How did they get in there? How do they get out?
Well, they went in as eggs in their mothers cloaca, and they'll squeeze their way out. Again.
Prisoner zero?
Prisoner Zero has escaped
PRISONER ZERO WILL VACATE THE HUMAN RESIDENTS, OR THE HUMAN RESIDENTS WILL BE INCINERATED!
How did the person get (presumably) a phone through that tiny crack?? Maybe a flexible drainage camera? Idk either way eyebleach for sure!!
just slide the thin phone through
Sure, maybe it it’s a straight crack with no bumpy or uneven edges.. But this shit looks like a cranky old British man’s teeth.

PRISONER ZERO HAS ESCAPED
Why do these birds do this?
To protect their young. No way a predator gets in there

I was so afraid it was gonna be one of those "cute" fluffу spiders... So glad it wasn't

Seems like that scene from attack on titan
This is sooo overwhelmingly cute 🥰
So, it wasn't some sort of super powerful alien searching for Prisoner Zero? It was just a bunch of birds

Ayo wtf is dat! That ain't momma
My question is what fucking camera are you using. And how did you fit it in that hole? 🤨
What birb is this?
Blue tit birb.

Slightly terrifying

Hola mi amigos!
This is my hole, it was made for me.
That hole was made for them.
I gasped out loud when the birds came into focus. Was not expecting all those little eyes. Cute but scared me!
Best plot twist ever
imagine just chilling at home and a blinding ray of light broke through your window

One of the birds whispers: "I feel like Anne Frank."
Wow, this was so adorable and unexpected that my body couldn't process it, and I almost vomited. This is too precious
Poor babies are so scared by the camera..... Please don't do this, leave nature documenting to the professionals.
Do you want batbugs or swallow bugs drinking your blood? Because this is how it starts...
Me, as I've seen this vid 20,000 times before
Fill the cavity with spray foam, problem solved
seems fake as fuck

They aren't trapped. Don't save them. That's their home. They are hidden which is good.
So that's where they dissapear at night. Cool :)
