I Fed a Pigeon To My Fire Ant Colony

My massive and ravenous fire ant colony, named the Crimson Knights, have grown so big now that they've already begun attempting to escape their volcanic island paludarium ant farm setup (Volcania). So, to help keep the fire ants well fed and amply distracted, I decided to give them a dead emerald dove, a type of tropical pigeon, that I had been saving until the ant colony was ready to have it. With it being Canadian Thanksgiving soon, I felt now was the best time to give them the bird. But I couldn't believe what secret plans the fire ants had up their sleeve the whole time. Hope you enjoy this week's episode. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Q: What other things should I feed our fire ants? Been thinking of a good Halloween episode this month!

10 years from now, "I will now be feeding the Crimson Knights my left arm."

I work at a local pet supply and wellness company. There has been an increase in kids and adults who have an interest in any keeping, and many of them specifically have mentioned your channel. I have been watching myself for a couple of years now and you are very informative, it helps me with my job and also helps these up-and-coming ant keepers.

Hey, Mikey, I found this dead animal and I thought of you...

[tatertot]

literally a 'dead dove, dont eat' moment

Now I’m just terrified on what he’s gonna feed those ants next.

This channel has me teaching my students about ants and their sisters. We put crumbs down and followed a trail the kids thought it was so neat.

I have to admit, this isn't normally my favorite genre of video. But you have such a fun flair for storytelling! Making something as "simple" as a colony of ants into a full-blown drama is fantastic! I can't wait to see what happens next!

"In my freezer are corpses that i found im a bit weird"
100% relatable

[ccntrcty]

I'm so glad you were able to obtain a source of nutrients like this to show us how the ants might deal with it when they come across it in the wild.

[magdaraya]

I'm torn between what scares me more: how quickly they cleaned out their feast (I betted 5 days) or their disappearing act.

[ibnyahud]

It's not a coincidence they started at the feet.
Your hive has swarm intelligence experience dealing with avian feet processing...fascinating
as usual
thanks, AntsCanada

Ants Canada, your videos have inspired me to raise my own for 8 years now. I love your content and I couldn’t ask for a better ant YouTuber, coming to you from North Carolina.

[Todkgdigxkgxk]

5 Years from now: Today we will be feeding the Crimson Knights a human!

Edit: Wow that is a lot of likes never had that much before!

[TeaEmpirme]

Your ants are fed better than me and many others. They should thank you for this. :D

[bossofunk]

Not the cliffhanger 😭 Good video as always! Love from one Canadian to another!

[Crazy-cllz]

"I have corpses in my freezer, " "or my friends gave them to me." What kind of friends do you have?

[springhuntersJGG]

Soon this man will be feeding his ants human toes
