1:21:04 “How did they decide they were different species??” Up and coming bio student here with a fun fact! While I don’t know the specifics for these birds, what I’ve been taught is that, in the biology world, species are defined by whether or not they can reproduce with each other and create fertile offspring. This is why horses and donkeys can breed to make mules, but because mules are infertile, horses and donkeys are considered separate species, and mules are considered hybrids. Edit: Please read the replies, they’re much more informative than I am, cackles.

Advanced biology student here: There are acually 3 theories of species. What you explained is the reproductive aproach. Historically there was also the morphologic approach seperating species according to their morphologic structures. There is also the genetical approach seperating species according to their genetical similarities. In total there is not a right approach since species are a human construct simplyfing nature. Even noteworthy biologists and evolution thoerists say its impossible to define the term "species" even though every biologist roughly knows about what a species is.

The thing is, it's only MALE mules that are infertile, the females CAN produce offspring. The problem is breeding them cause they're suuuper picky about mates, and both horse and donkey stallions can also be picky so the animals might just, not wanna do it will need human intervention. But like, female mules have been documented having foals. This is 'one sex is sterile and the other is fertile' thing happening in hybrids is called Haldane's Law: -"When in the F1 offspring of two different animal races one sex is absent, rare, or sterile, that sex is the heterozygous sex" The reason is cause like, chromosomes. Horses and donkeys have a different number of chromosomes (64 for horses and 62 for donkeys) while mules has 63. Which is what results in the infertility in (male) mules. The greater the difference in chromosomes, the less likely hybridization will occur. Wolves, dogs and coyotes on the other hand, all have the same number of chromosomes (78). meaning they can hybridize easy peasy. Cause, by that logic (creating fertile offspring = same species), domestic dogs, coyotes and wolves are the same species since they can produce fertile offspring. Except no they ARE different species and wolfdogs/coywolves/coydogs/coywolfdogs are hybrids. They create fertile offspring b/c of how closely related they are. A hybrid is just, the offspring of two different species, regardless on if the offspring they create is fertile or not. Dog and wolf, horse and donkey, lion and tiger, house cat and serval, various duck hybrids and goose hybrids, green sea turtle and hawksbill turtle, lake trout and speckled trout.

I'm not gonna copy it all but, the wikipedia page about mules has a section on their fertility and it lists several documented instances of mule mares producing offspring with both donkeys and horses. But here's a couple. "A 1939 article in the Journal of Heredity describes two offspring of a fertile mare mule named "Old Bec", which was owned at the time by Texas A&M University in the late 1920s. One of the foals was a female, sired by a jack. Unlike her mother, she was sterile. The other, sired by a five-gaited Saddlebred stallion, exhibited no characteristics of any donkey." "...a group from the Federal University of Minas Gerais in 1995 described a female mule that was pregnant for a seventh time, having previously produced two donkey sires, two foals with the typical 63 chromosomes of mules, and several horse stallions that had produced four foals."

The notion that Noctowl drops the "time" theme entirely isn't really true. Noctowl's head adornments are like a horned owl, but they also look exactly like the tops of old grandfather clocks, with 2 pediments and especially the finial (the prong in the middle) giving this away. These are SUPER common decorations on really old grandfather clocks. For that matter I'm pretty sure Noctowl is supposed to look like a literal grandfather---it's old and wise, he's supposed to have "Father Time" vibes. And I think the reason Noctowl turns its head upside-down rather than backwards is because this mimics the direction clock hands turn in. I wanna say the triangular feathers on the belly also resemble something clock-related, but I no longer remember what the resemblance was. :/

I’d argue with new changing definitions of what a regional bird is that Wingull and Pelipper are in fact the regional birds of Hoenn. They’re avaible before Tailow is and the only reason they weren’t counted as one in the past was due to the water/flying typing as opposed to normal/flying.

Also, gen 3 was a generation of pairs in general: the introduction of double battles, 2 pseudos legendaries, close Pokemon pairs like Lunatone/ solrock, seviper/zangoose, plusle and minun (also the only gen to have 2 pika-clones, unless you count mimikyu), Volbeat and illumise.

I think a decent definition of regional bird would be: The first multi-stage evolutionary line (not counting starters) of bird pokemon in the regional pokedex. Bird pokemon is just defined as a pokemon that visually resembles a bird, usually flying type but not by requirement. Pidgey is before Spearow Hoothoot is before Natu Taillow is before Wingull Starly is the only Sinnoh bird pokemon with more than one stage (Honchkrow is an added stage of a prior pokemon, and even then Starly is before Honchkrow in the pokedex) Pidove is before Rufflet Fletchling is before Spritzee Pikipek is the only Alolan bird pokemon with more than one stage Rookidee is the only Galarian bird pokemon with more than one stage Wattrel is after Squawkabilly, but Squawkabillly only has one stage. Wattrel is before Flittle. This definition accounts for all the bird pokemon in this video, and I wouldn't be surprised if it continues to hold true

I donned her the nickname "The Dragon Slayer" for that reason.

I had these two cool ideas for how they could implement the regional bird trope in future games. * Do a switcharound and have the regional bird act more like the regional mammal (Ratatta and Patrat for example) like a Turkey pokemon. Meanwhile we get a three stage flying mammal line, like a new three stage bat line or a flying squirrel line. * Give regular Farfetch’d an evolution and pre-evolution to act as a regional bird of sorts. The latter idea is part of a greater idea I had for a Pokemon game where similar to Black and White. Old Pokemon are unavailable until post game except there are old Pokemon available due to them getting an evolution, pre-evolution, regional form, etc.

Regional birds are such a staple of the franchise I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who played Pokemon who didn't know at least a few of them, used them on their teams or are even their favorite Pokemon of all. They are such iconic inclusions to the world that, despite being just...you know, birds, still manage to hold a special place within the Pokemon universe and fanbase. I myself find it incredibly difficult to not include at least one bird in a playthrough of any Pokemon game, I like them that much.

Can't argue that Pigeons are smart, Where I work we had a few of them living under a couple of our warehouse dock plates. When we tried to block off access to keep them from making their nests in there, they figured out that if they just waited for us to raise them to load and unload trucks, they could just get back in and out in that time window.

This series is amazing!!! Looking forward for the bug counterpart on all gens!!!

The definition I've seen a lot of commentators use (but apparently none of the poll replies which Lockstin read) is that the regional bird is the first flying-type bird pokémon in the gen's pokédex that can evolve (and isn't also a starter, so rowlett doesn't count because it is a starter). This definition disqualifies wingull due to its being listed after taillow in the pokédex, despite its appearing in the wild earlier (along with Ash's never catching one before he stopped catching regional birds altogether, I guess), and disqualifies squawkabilly due to its not being able to evolve.

I had seen the meme of the Grosbeak being pidgey like half an hour before I got this video recommended. Wonderful.

The fact that you put an image form a TerminalMontage's video at 5:13 shows that you watch his other videos (other that the Pokémon battle royals).

I love Unfezant!!!! It could be because I'm from South Dakota where it's our state bird, and it's super tasty as well!!! I really love the design of the male. I'd have to say Unfezant is my favorite regional bird and then noctowl

the name of the region alola being the local language word for hello is really funny actually, because it implies foreigners showed up, asked "where are we" and the friendly natives just greeted them with "alola"

I usually call Staraptor "The Bird That Can Fight Anything". Mostly because of Close Combat, and Brave Bird letting it take on the very things that once decimated it and it's flock. Ice, Steel, and Rock. Types very common in it's home. It really is the bird which through it's journey has become strong enough to protect the thing most important to it.

Took me a few days to get here, but long-form Lockstin content? I'm all up for it!

Birds are my favorite, so obviously I love bird Pokemon too. Thanks for showing why all the regional birds are awesome (even Unfezant, I love him and he gets too much hate)

Frigate birds are so metal. Kilowattrel is already my favorite regional bird mon, and now I understand why. Thanks Lockstin! 🤘🏽

i watched the Pokemon 1008 encounters and all of these regional birds are in the same frame/group. it's like the pokemon company acknowledging this fan term but they were not specific about on what we should call them. in the start of the video they show the starters then the early route regional mammals, then they show all the regional birds, and all the birds that were shown in 1 frame, is pidgey, hoothoot, taillow, starly, pidove, fletchling and rookie. (wattrell is not there because they showed it in the list of new pokemon when they introduce all the pokemon in paldea. and also wingull/natu/spearow are not in that frame/group.) and also yes their total base stats total are close to each other, it's just like how we call a line of pokemon with 600 total base stats as "pseudo legendary".

It's pretty much confirmation on the swellow vs. wingull competion for regional bird. The pokemon company gave an answer, even if they didn't slap the words "regional bird" on there, they pretty much solidified most ideas on what a regional bird is 1. Evolves 2. Non starter 3. Bird 4. First dex wise

You adding the happy feet taps of toupac the toucan made me smile

"unfezant is an outlier because its the only regional bird line that doesn't evolve into a predatory species" meanwhile, toucannon:

Idk man. A large bird with a freaking cannon screams predator to me.

Fun fact! Toucans actually hunt baby birds to feed their young, as the protein is useful. They hunt in pairs and one distracts the parent bird while the other birds kills the young

this video is underappreciated and deserves more views and likes

K the Turkey thing had me laughing for about 30 seconds...well done 🤣

Funny thing is...I've always seen Wingull as the regional bird, and not Tailow. I forget Tailow exists half the time.

Watching Lockstin explain the deeper parts of pokemon is so comforting

0:22 Wonderful TF2 reference

I absolutely loved being able to listen to this video for 2 hours

I got into birdwatching a couple years ago, so I've come to appreciate the regional birds. Except for Pidgey, it doesn't look like a pigeon. Noctowl is on thin ice for only being loosely based on things that owls are already associated with (if they dipped into the clock elements a little more, it'd get a pass)

1. I am surprised that he didn't mention the easy connection of the Talonflame line. Fletchling and Fletchinder also come from Kindling, the baby fuel needed to start a fire from scratch, and Tinder, the necessary spark needed to keep the fire going. Combine those two and you have a flame! 2. Another detail about the Kilowattrel line is that its theming of piracy even goes into it mechanically. It's Electric/Flying, and is therefore supereffective against every other regional bird, and can bully them into giving them whatever they want.

Holly Molly! 2:56 a Carcará! Brazil mentioned guys!!!!

I am a Toucannon fan and it was one of the strongest Pokemon on my team. Took it all the way from Route 1 to the Elite 4. Madlad!

The shapes behind @gnoggin so freakin 90s!

Pyregrine actually kinda goes hard

Regional bird = the first bird-like pokémon line that appears in a regional pokédex Spearow and Wingull can be considered extra regional birds of gen 1 and 3 respectively because they appear right after the main ones and can be considered their counterparts.

Wingull line definitely should count imo. Fearow gets way too overshadowed by Pidgeot though and is pretty forgettable, but I think anyone who's played Gen 3 will know the Wingull line lol hell it may be more recognizable than the Swellow line

@@shyguyrocks1 I like the idea of wingull being the regional bird, but I saw in another comment something that offers way more evidence that swellow would be the "official" regional bird if that was an official term used by the Pokemon Company. In their 1000th pokemon video, they grouped together all the birds that would be considered "regional birds" save for gen 9 because they wanted to showcase them at the end. In that grouping, they did include swellow as gen 3's representative

Props to how much he commits to the bit.

0:22 "This is a pigeon" "Dear god" "There's more" I see what you did there

I got the loon thing! Worked a lot of fast food jobs in my teens and the last trash run of the night was always between 7-9pm and I heard it all the time!

My definition is 1: A Pokémon that contains at least 1 evolution. 2: Must be flying type for at least one of its forms and still be a bird (such as if we got a Pokémon that was say Water/Flying then in second stage became Water/Grass or electric) 3: Must be the first line of new Pokemon for its introduction region that meets this criteria in its regional dex. (I.E. Wingul can be found first but tallow is still listed first in the honenn regional dex)

This definition is probably going to change later though. I just say why not count Wingull in there. Why can't there be two in a region? Hoenn did this with both the pika clones and the pseudos for instance why wouldn't it do so with the birds?

Tbh, I never considered Tailow line as regional bird because I encountered wingull first.

A 2 hour video of Lockstin talking about birds? Let's go!

0:23 The TF2 reference is gold!

When Trumbeak said "Noot noot", I felt that.

I did not know that Loons are what made that sound, but I knew that sound signaled dusk.

Hearing my home country Cape Verde being mentioned was not on my bingo list

In northern New Jersey we get great horned owls all the time, just in our backyards, so at 14:08 when you said it like that I lost it😂

Talonflame's name in French is "Flambusard", a portemanteau of the words "Flamboyant" and "Busard". Which, in english, roughly translate to "Fiery" and "Harrier". A "Fiery Harrier"

Actually the Unfezant Pokedex Entry about Male and Female could be based of older studies which suggested that while males show higher physical results, like speed and strengh, females tend to be better in terms of endurance, meaning a male can be faster but the female can go for longer... but well these studies were about human sports performances. ^^°

Evening loon calls are so comfy

I have always loved Hoothoot and Noctowl. I have a shiny of each of them in Pokemon Scarlet named after the owls from Okami (my all time favourite game) Lechku and Nechku, which are also clock themed owls and therefore my favourite boss level from that game.

Oddly enough my two favorite regional birds are Fearow and Unfeazant.

I seriously watched bird lore for 2 hours. That was actually pretty nice

For most youtubers, I see a 45-minute video and think, too long. However, when it's a gnoggin video, 2 hours is not enough. I would watch Austin and his channel for 5 hours and still be entertained. Well done 👏 👍 👌

Don't worry Fearow and Pelipper, you'll always be regional bird pokemon in my heart
