00:00From mischievous mountain parrots to hunters with a statue-like gaze,

00:04some birds have abilities that seem borrowed from science fiction.

00:08These creatures defy expectation, but one on our list is a true evolutionary marvel that

00:13will completely change how you see the animal kingdom. What's the most incredible bird you've

00:18ever seen? Let us know below. The Kaia is New Zealand's alpine parrot.

00:23These intelligent and curious birds are known for being mischievous.

00:27Using powerful beaks, they often investigate and dismantle human belongings, from backpacks to car

00:33parts. This problem-solving behavior makes them a challenge for people who encounter them in their

00:39mountain home. The shoebill is a prehistoric-looking bird from Africa's swamps. Its most distinct

00:45feature is a massive, shoe-shaped bill that ends in a sharp hook. A patient hunter, the shoebill stands

00:51motionless for hours, watching the water. It uses its bill to deliver a powerful strike on slippery

00:58prey. This unique and solitary bird is a highly sought-after sighting. In Australia's forests

01:04lives the superb lyrebird, a skilled vocal mimic. It can replicate a wide variety of environmental

01:11sounds. The lyrebird imitates not only other birds, but also man-made noises like camera shutters and

01:17chainsaws. To attract a mate, the male performs an elaborate courtship display. He fans his impressive

01:24tail feathers and dances on a mound of earth, all while showcasing his collection of copied sounds.

01:30In the Amazon basin lives the Hoatsun. Its chicks have a bizarre secret, claws on their wings. These

01:36small hooks help the young birds climb through dense trees in their swampy home. When danger is near,

01:43they can drop into the water to escape. They then use their wing claws to climb back to safety in the

01:48branches. Jason, compressed underscore text. The kakapo is a critically endangered parrot from New

01:55Zealand that forgot how to fly. This nocturnal, ground-dwelling bird has a unique, sweet scent.

02:02Instead of flying, it uses strong legs to hike and climb. To attract mates, males dig bowls in the earth

02:09and emit a low-frequency, booming, call for hours. This helps females find them in the dark.

02:16Closing curly bracket. High in Central American cloud forests lives the resplendent Katsal.

02:22The male is a breathtaking sight with vibrant emerald and ruby feathers. Its most famous feature is its

02:28incredibly long tail. Ancient civilizations revered this bird as a divine symbol of freedom.
