Voices: Willow Ptarmigan
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
There are few birds whose vocalizations are as comical as those of the Willow Ptarmigan. The Lab's Charles Eldermire describes the experience of hearing this "Arctic grouse" first hand.

So... how many people here are coming from the Daily Show video where the bird calling champ imitated the Willow Ptarmigan? She was spot on, and Trevor Noah was just his usual witty self.

This guy (or gal) commented BEFORE the daily show talked about it. This comment is a legend
Came here because of that Bird Call lady from the Daily Show.. She was accurate!
I hope Trevor hosts the future champions of birdcalling 🤣
I desperately needed a laugh! Thanks Willow Ptarmigan
Between the Scenes brought me here.
I love that the comment section is a combination of people from 10 years ago and people who saw the daily show clip yesterday
It sounds like one of those jibber jabber toys!
Its nice to see this bird finally getting recognition because of Trevor Noah

As someone who is told I have a great sense of humor by fiancé only, I didn't find it necessarily the *most* humorous thing, but it was humorous nonetheless.
I adore these silly birds; the weird sounds, the big red eyebrows, and the big fluffy feet; they're wonderful creatures.

The Daily Show!
Lord. I must say this birds call is about as odd and funny as they come. Listening to this had me in a fit giggling laughter. Thank you so much for providing this video.
Thanks Trevor
Daily Show brought me here
One of my all-time favorite sounds!
Just hearing this bird's call, anyone would think that a person is calling you. It actually sounded pretty funny, when you think about it.😆😆😆😆😆😆

Awh these bird is incredible. Yup i'm also from daily show/trevor noah 😂
Raiders of The Lost Ark was released on June 12th, 1981, well before the internet was commercially available to everyone, and before CGI. Ben Burtt was the sound designer for the film, who also did both Star Wars Trilogies and the other two Indiana Jones films after: Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade. It was already confirmed by IMDB that there was an error in geography that a ptarmigan was heard in the background, alongside another bird that can be heard that's only found in Europe.

The willow ptarmigan is found circumpolarly, so no, not only in Europe. If one needs to be this anal, one needs to be correct.
🤣 That lady on the daily show wasn't too far off.
Watched Trevor and the bird call winner and came straight to KZread to check out the real call. 😂😂😂
Here from the Daily Show
"When you're walking around looking for entertainment..." Right, that's what most people are doing out on the tundra.
Thanks a lot Daily Show ☺️
Thank you Trevor Noah, this is amazing 😂
Same as many people, I just came to confirm if this bird was the devil
Here because of a love for snowboarding/ skiing. Favorite run at Loveland ski resort is named Ptarmigan
Dude i jusy watch the daily show, and the sound that she make it kinda similar 🤣
Just causally swinging by thanks to the daily show 🤣
Who is here after seeing the girl on The Daily Show do this call? 😆
The daily show sent me here😂
As heard on The Daily Show
Lol 😂 I’m here from the daily show and yup she’s right

I am here from the Daily Show,,,had to hear this bird miself,,,
I just stumbled across a flock of willow ptarmigans in Hatcher's Pass, near Palmer, on September Alaska. At first they were quiet but then I heard the Munchkin like voices. I wish I had a recorder with me! There were a dozen of them and they all began to echo each other. My favorite sound was "i SWEAR to it!", which several of them shouted in turn as I got near them. Your track captures this sound at 1:22 but I must have heard it 7 times in one minute.
How can you have a bad day after hearing this every morning 🤣
Working at a mine in the Yukon, west of Carmacks. Been seeing these 'chicken birds' all over the place here. Strangest sounding bird. I had no idea what I was looking at, but now I know. Exact same sound as on your video. What a strange call they make, lol!
He said " a bagel a bagel "

It's real 😂
Shout-out to the people here from Between the Scenes with Trevor Noah 😂
I'm so positive that this is where they got the sound for the song "surfing bird" because if you listen to all of there calls they have one that sounds exactly the the buh-buh-meow-buh-buh-buh-meow noise 😂

She was on point 💀
How many people are here because they watch the Trevor Noah show where a lady said that she want a bird calling contest after repeating what this bird had to say. I thought it was a joke she beat on her throat with her face and made a stupid sound I had to come see.
Trevor Noah brought me to this.
L❤VE. That is an awesome recording. The background is so quiet!
Anyone here from Trevor Noah's Show? xD
Who’s here after watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah?
Imagine this. I was reading a lighthearted novel, you see. And there was one sentence that made me quite confused. It mentioned something along the lines of "tittering like a delighted Willow Ptarmigan." What the heck is a "Willow Ptarmigan" I asked myself. I had to look it up in google before proceeding with the story reading. And found out it is a type of bird. Intrigued, I decided to watch youtube video about it to hear how it sounds like. And what a sound it was! It had me laughing out loud and drying my eyes from tears that were squeezed out from laughing so hard. So when the novel said a character laughed like a "Willow Ptarmigan", it was telling the readers that that character is very bad at laughing. But it is a funny thing to hear nonetheless.
This is too gold.. 😂 Trevor you did her dirty.. 😂
coming from the daily show. Trevor Noah... she did it pretty good
Trevor Noah fans unite!!
I know native americans used to imitate the sounds of wild birds and coyotes. I never heard of such a bird until today. If i was in my tent and heard that noise, i would have thought a crazy man was out there just waiting for me to come out and fight him.
You’re here because of the daily show.
What beautiful birds they are!

Is anyone else here after seeing the clip from Trevor Noah's morning show?

I love the sounds these birds make. I've just been to Alaska this June and we saw a Willow Ptarmigan on our bus tour through Denali. My dad got a photo of what was a male, but it wasn't until the rest of the tour, that I realized that the Ptarmigan call was actually used in Indiana Jones and The Raiders of The Lost Ark, which begs me to ask one question. How did a bird only indigenous to the northern part of North America end up in a rain forest in South America?

Brought here by the Daily Show. 😁
What equipment was used to record the vocalizations? Anyone?
Go to Alaska, you'll hear them all day... Used as the parrots chattering in the movie in Halloween 4
My guinea pigs find this noise to be most intriguing.
