I was a bit worried David was going to swallow a bee there for a while, munching on the honey and talking like he was! Kudos to that guy going in half dressed and stealing honey from mad stinging wild bees.
If they have been leaving honey on the spear, then the bird would learn to also associate the spear with honey. Perhaps the bird sees the spear being carried and is more focused on the spear, rather than the human for its reward?
Nice. I read about these birds in Wilbur Smith's novels. He also says, the legend is that if you take everything for yourself and don't leave some of the stuff for the bird, the next time it will lead you to a lion! So, don't get too greedy with the honey.
this is just wonderful. Very interesting, and gives us greater understanding of the signals species give to each other. Man and bird working together, who would have thought? :)
there's plenty of educational value on youtube, even the utter shit. especially the utter shit. and 'a modicum of educational value'? this video has a LOT of educational value, if you can contextualize it.
pooh bear must be best friends with the honey bird

млин, пернатый стукач за долю малую "сдает" бедных пчёлок, которые вкалывают без устали. Продажный ублюдок...)

@Vraadrik that's not half dressed... it's just what they wear. you don't need to wear much where it's that hot
