He is currently the second most-subscribed individual YouTuber after MrBeast, who surpassed Felix on November 14, 2022. On March 31, 2019, PewDiePie releases his "Congratulations" music video and became the most-subscribed channel again from April 1, 2019, to April 14, 2019, before T-Series surpassed him again. His channel was the most viewed from December 29, 2014, to February 14, 2017, and the most-subscribed from August 15, 2013, to March 27, 2019, before being surpassed by T-Series. His channel is currently the fifth most-subscribed with 111 million subscribers. Since 2010, it has been his main YouTube channel. When he supposedly forgot his password, he created another channel by adding the suffix 'Pie' due to the fact that "he loves pie", resulting in "PewDiePie". The name "PewDiePie" was formed by the term "Pew!" (as in a gun firing) and " Die!", which was his original channel. He is also known for numerous series including Meme Review, Pew News, Minecraft Let's Plays, and the above series Last Week I Asked You (LWIAY), a parody of jacksfilms' series Yesterday I asked you. Apart from his gaming videos, he is most popular for the series LWIAY. Originally, Felix was known for his horror playthroughs, (such as Amnesia) and reactions but nowadays, he is notorious for his freestyle/skit humor, vlogs, and satirical commentary. “The ones we saw might have just been losers.How's it goin' bros, my name is PewDiePie!įelix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg (born: Octo( ) ), better known online as PewDiePie (or simply Pewds, formerly Pewdie), is a Swedish YouTuber, comedian, vlogger, gamer, and co-founder of Tsuki Market along with his wife, Marzia. “We never saw copulation - we never saw what a really good male does,” he said. Podos hopes to see whether such behavior actually helps male birds get mates. She said the findings went against her expectations, but called them “a great foundation for future research.”ĭr. “I am surprised that the loudest bird makes loud sounds when the female is so close,” said Nicole Creanza, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University who was not involved with the study. “They just really seem to be socially awkward.” The bellbird’s strategy “goes against expectations,” said Dr. This choreography puzzles experts: Many other birds, including the famously elaborate satin bowerbird, actually tone down their displays once a female expresses interest, so as not to startle her. It starts facing away from her, and then whips around to blast the loudest, record-setting note right into her face. The white bellbird sings its pile driver tune when a potential mate is nearby. Cohn-Haft brought sound level meters more commonly used for industrial-noise monitoring, along with laser range-finders to pinpoint how far away the birds were. Podos.īut new tools are making the pursuit much easier. Only a couple of dozen species have been properly measured, said Dr. Until a few years ago, assessing the amplitude, or loudness, of birdsong required an unusual amount of devotion and tech-savvy. A year later, the two led a team that further studied the bird. He sent photos to Jeffrey Podos, a professor specializing in bioacoustics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who was similarly intrigued. He thought it might have something to do with the loudness of their song - “if they didn’t have that kind of protection,” he said, perhaps “their guts would blow out.” It had “this really ripped, washboard stomach,” he said. Cohn-Haft was struck by the thickness of its abdominal wall. While examining a bellbird specimen during that trip, Dr. When several sing at once, they are “deafening,” and sound like “several blacksmiths trying to compete,” said Arthur Gomes, a biology student at São Paulo State University who contributed to the new research. It has a “strange, metallic, kind of alien call,” said Caio Brito, one of the founders of Brazil Birding Experts. The white bellbird - one of four bellbird species in South and Central America - is a favorite among birders in Brazil. And he must be proud of it, because he sings the most piercing note right into potential mates’ faces. According to a paper published Monday in Current Biology, this goofball boasts the loudest birdsong ever recorded. Barrel-chested and big-mouthed, with a long wattle dangling from the top of its beak, this rainforest bird looks more like a Muppet than an avian Casanova.īut everyone’s got their thing. At first glance, the white bellbird doesn’t appear to have benefited similarly. The pressures of sexual selection have made peacocks gorgeous, wood thrushes sonorous and birds of paradise great dancers.
