Ahoodori
"Albatros" in English.
"Mizunagi dori" is also classified as "ahoodori".
It is about 1 meter long and is a large sea bird.
"Ahoodori" means "idiot" in Japanese.
"Idiot" comes from "aho" which means "foolishness".
Even abroad, people call them "goonies" and call them "foolish birds".
Then, how are they idiots?
These "goonies" asked us this question when they were in Ehime Prefecture.
They are Morita and Rinsho. They are in 4th grade of elementary school.
Rinsho's hobby is birdwatching.
That bird came this way.
Once a week, they observe birds and check their genitals.
They are "bird professors" of "goonies".
When we asked "goonies" to give us sea birds' names...
"Sea bird".
"Ahodori".
"Sea cat".
"Sea glass".
"Sea sparrow".
"Sea barracuda".
"Sea sparrow".
Have you ever seen "ahoodori"?
No, I haven't seen "ahoodori".
Do you want to see it?
I do.
That's not surprising.
There are "ahoodori" in Japan as well, but they are special natural monuments.
You can't see them even in zoos.
They are "mysterious sea birds".
There, we did a thorough research of sea birds all over the world.
Then, we got information that you can meet wild sea birds if you go to the east coast of Australia.
Are sea birds really stupid?
If they are stupid, what kind of stupidity is it?
Tonight, we will know the answer!
I saw it!
I saw it! I saw it!
I saw it!
8,000 kilometers away from Japan.
We are chasing "mysterious sea birds"!
Are sea birds really stupid?
In Australia!
We have finally arrived at Ulongo, a city located south of Sydney.
It is a city rich in nature where relaxing time flows.
Sea!
Look! This sea!
Birds.
There are so many birds.
Are there birds?
How do you like Australia's first sea coast?
It's clear and beautiful.
In spite of that, you said "birds" at first, didn't you?
This beautiful coast is Ulongo's North Beach.
There is not a single piece of garbage on the beach.
The original appearance of nature is left behind.
As proof of this...
If you push this stick, you will hear a sound.
Here I go!
Wow!
Look!
This is a beautiful proof of sand.
Crying sand.
Wow!
However, crying sand is very sensitive to dirt.
If even a little bit of dirt or oil gets on the surface of a grain of sand, you won't hear a sound.
Look!
Here I go!
It's ringing.
Can you hear it?
Yes, I can hear it.
It's like a child's voice, isn't it?
In such a beautiful sea, there is a fool bird.
Risho, do you think a fool bird is really a fool bird?
I don't know.
You don't know, do you?
That's right.
But I think Japanese people have named fool birds "fool" because they are fools.
Maybe.
That's not a fool bird.
That's not a fool bird, but a fool bird.
Let's go to the person who will cooperate with the investigation.
But I'm going to love birds with Risho this time.
Good luck.
I don't think it's something you can love.
Oh, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
This is Mr. Linzei, a researcher of fool birds.
Nice to meet you. My name is Kaneko Takatoshi.
Nice to meet you, Kaneko Takatoshi.
Very good.
- Teacher? - Teacher.
- Teacher! - Teacher!
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- Is he a student? - Wow!
Yes, he is a student of Umidori.
Is that...
- What is it? - Is it...
- Watari Ahodori? - Is it Ahodori?
- That's right. It's Watari Ahodori. - It's huge!
- It's huge!
You're losing your words, aren't you?
I lost my words for a second.
- Is Ahodori this big? - It's huge!
No, it's very small.
It's only this big.
It's so small!
Is Ahodori only this big?
Are there many Ahodori this big in Australia?
Unfortunately, there aren't many.
Ahodori is in danger of extinction worldwide.
Actually, Mr. Lindsay is the leader of Ahodori Protection Group.
His main activity is to attach a tag with Ahodori's number to Ahodori,
investigate its age, size and reproduction rate,
exchange information with protection groups around the world,
and serve as Ahodori's protector.
If we don't carry out our protection activities now,
the next generation of children won't be able to see Ahodori anymore.
I'm sad.
What do you want to do?
Protect Ahodori.
The fact that Ahodori is called "idiot" and that he is in danger of extinction have a deep connection.
Can I ask you something?
Is Ahodori really an idiot?
He is a ridiculous idiot.
But at the same time, he is a very smart bird.
Check it out with your own eyes tomorrow.
As proof of Ahodori's protection, they will receive a hat.
Rinsho-kun is a little good at games.
You look really happy.
Finally!
Ahodori, you want to see it, don't you?
You want to see it, don't you?
Hurry up!
Anyway, if you see it, it looks like the biggest one, doesn't it?
Yes.
Tomorrow, they will finally head to Ahodori's habitat.
I don't know what will happen in the sea, so calm down!
Yes.
Let's do our best!
Yeah!
In search of an illusory Ahodori, they set sail.
This is fun!
Ahodori is a sea bird.
Except for a short period of eating period, they live at sea.
A rich sea of Australia.
The one who welcomed them is...
There's a sea lion!
A sea lion?
Where?
Rinsho, there's a sea lion!
A sea lion?
Where?
There it is!
A sea lion!
It's a sea lion!
It's cute!
It's a wild sea lion.
It's cute.
It's a young generation.
Yes.
Hey, look! Over there! There's a whale!
And the whale is also visible.
Whale, jump!
Did you see it? It flew!
Wow! It's a big one!
And...
There it is! There it is!
Wow! It's huge!
It really is!
Wow! Look! Look! Look!
Look! Look! Look!
There it is! Look! Look!
Wow!
Is it cute?
It's a large group of dolphins that weigh about 150 tons or more.
Fly! Fly! Jump! Jump!
Wow!
Awesome!
There's a lot of them!
It's a big one!
The large group of dolphins that weigh about this much is proof that there is food.
The stupid bird is coming to eat the food!
And...
The stupid bird has finally appeared in front of us!
There it is!
The big bird floating over there is the stupid bird!
It's a big one!
It's huge! It's huge! It's huge!
The stupid bird has been discovered!
Which part of this bird is stupid?
Before looking at the stupid part, let's learn about the wonderful part of the stupid bird.
The wonderful part of the stupid bird.
Number one.
Its flying ability.
Mahoutori's flying ability is number one among birds.
Mahoutori has thin and long wings like a glider and is very good at catching wind.
This flying technique is called "reflection".
Mahoutori can fly for more than 24 hours without landing once without using physical strength.
That's why people call golf more amazing than Eagles "Albatross", don't they?
In fact, the score of golf is named after the idea of how beautifully the ball flew far away.
Mahoutori has one stroke less than the standard number of strokes.
That is, Mahoutori is a small bird.
Eagles has two strokes less than Mahoutori.
And Albatros has three strokes less than Mahoutori.
That is, Mahoutori is a Mahoutori.
Oh, is that so?
It's difficult for both golf and real people to see Albatros.
How did you know the score of golf?
No, I didn't know the score.
That's a great thing about Mahoutori.
The second one is "one-sided love".
Males and females of Mahoutori love each other until death once they find their partners.
If you love one woman, you will love her forever.
Mahoutori lands on an island during breeding season.
In order to know each other, they do a love dance and find their future partners.
There is only one Hina born in one breeding season.
There is a family love that you can't think of as a bird.
But you don't cheat on him?
I don't.
You're better than a human.
If you say you don't cheat, you're better than a human.
Your loyalty to love.
That's amazing.
The more I talk about it, the more I feel like I'm not stupid.
Me too.
However, it's obvious that she's stupid enough to erase all of that wonderfulness.
They say you're stupid because you're not cautious at all.
Even though you say you're a wild sea bird, you can easily get caught.
That's right, I'm stupid!
Then, shall we get caught?
It flies like this.
There's no way a bird with this much flying power would get caught.
So let's get caught.
You can't catch me!
The stupid bird's favorite, wrapping beef in the sea.
The stupid birds have gathered here because of the smell of food.
It's coming!
It's a bird!
Stupid birds live mostly on the sea, so they don't have any enemies.
Therefore, they are not cautious at all.
No matter what humans say or what ships do, they are not afraid of anything.
All we have to do is save them with a net.
A wild stupid bird with the number one evasion ability among birds.
It's hard to believe that it can be easily caught with a net.
This...
Can you really catch it with a net?
Is the idiot bird really an idiot?
Is it really cautious?
I want to catch it!
Alright, let's go!
It's coming! It's coming! It's coming!
The reason why the idiot bird is called an idiot is now clear!
Now, let's go!
I caught it!
What?
Where are you going?
It was easily caught!
It's big, isn't it?
I still can't catch it.
Ms. Rinzei always catches the idiot bird like this and tags it.
It's not really an idiot...
It's cautious, isn't it?
Yes.
The idiot bird is called "the idiot bird that can be easily caught", and it got its name.
And, people who know about this change have been catching idiots since the late 19th century just for catching idiots.
The number has decreased dramatically and in just 50 years, it has fallen into the crisis of extinction.
Now, it is protected globally and there is no catching of idiots, but the number continues to decrease.
Ms. Rinzei says that the big reason for this is that it is used for fishing.
There is no way for an idiot bird to catch a fish and die of water death or injury.
In addition, plastic and garbage that we have washed away in the sea can be mistaken for food and cause death.
Linchang, put a tag on it.
Be gentle.
Yes.
Put a tag on the idiot bird's legs.
Well done. It's perfect.
OK.
It's done.
This bird is a female, isn't it?
It's always like this.
Yes, it is.
I know it.
This bird will live a long life and give birth to many children.
You have to take good care of it.
Yes.
It's so cute.
See you.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
Be careful.
Bye-bye.
Don't get caught by humans.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
Be careful.
- Nisho. - Yes?
How did you feel when you saw a bird you don't get to see often?
- I was moved. - You were moved?
- Yes, I was. - Once you love a bird, you love it forever.
In Japan, we don't say "albatros" but "ahodori" for such wonderful birds.
- It's embarrassing to hear you say that. - Yes.
Ahodori is by no means a stupid bird.
People who make ahodori disappear are far more foolish creatures.
But they still have a chance.
And so, my conclusion is...
Ahodori is a great bird, but it's not stupid!
