  • (Destin) So what do you do to hold a bird? (Daughter) Hold on tight and don't be scared.

  • (Destin) That's right. OK so today on today's deep dive here at Smarter Every Day

  • we're gonna learn about bird flight. When I went to Peru and shot high speed video,

  • I learned a whole lot about how wings work. So I got some birds and we're gonna study

  • via playlist how bird wings work. So I'm gonna put a link in the description

  • you can click it any time and start this playlist. I'm gonna show you videos from all over YouTube

  • that explain how bird wings work. OK you ready to let yours go? - Yeah

  • (Destin) Alright 1..2..3.. go. Very good.

  • So the cool thing about this playlist is that you can pass it on to friends and they can learn exactly

  • how these things work. For instance, these feathers interlock in a very specific

  • way, so when the bird down-strokes, he's capturing

  • all the air, but on the up-stroke his wings actually unlock.

  • Also, I'll tell you why this top feather is shorter than the others. It's pretty cool. Are you ready?

  • Alright, here you go. Hold on tight and don't what?

  • (Son) Be scared. (Destin) Alright, let him go.

  • [laughs] (Destin) Go chase him. Let it go fly.
