I Dream of Chickens | Dalia Monterroso | TEDxWWU
Вставка

- In a divided world, I believe in one unifying thing: the chicken. Join me as I discuss how through our amazing relationship with chickens, we can discover the humanity in each other.
Dalia Monterroso is a chicken educator and enthusiast, focusing on teaching the basics of backyard chicken keeping through various classes and seminars across Northwest Washington. She is the former owner of a local farm store, has a popular facebook page called Welcome to Chickenlandia (in which she is known as the President of the fictitious country Chickenlandia), and is currently an ambassador for Scratch and Peck Feeds. Dalia loves sharing the ins and outs of chicken keeping, but also aims to pass on the broader meaning she has discovered in her passion for poultry. Dalia believes that being among her flock has brought a peace and significance into her life that she was always searching for, and she wishes to share that peace with everyone she meets.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Miss Dalia is right about the soothing effect of chickens. I'm a cynical loner, awkward socially and subject to deep depression, but tending my backyard hens somehow dispels the darkness. Making their lives engaging and safe fills me with hopeful joy, something everyday life doesn't give me. Hens transformed my life.
**hug** so glad you at least have some reprieve from this place❤
Informative and entertaining. Fantastic!
Loved this.
I laughed and cried. For real. This is lovely.
I took a seminar under her at our local library. She's a good, patient instructor who is truly passionate about her chickens.
You’re so right Dalia about the peace I feel when I’m amongst my flock. I’m not quite sure how I survived 56 yrs without my chickens. Thank you Mrs. President!
Aww! I'm just now seeing this.
I so agree! I just got my first four hens this year. I’m 67 and how I wish I’d got chickens years ago.
Its true! Chickens have brought me unmeasurable peace and happiness.
Whats a beautiful ted talk i am in love with this channel now thank you chickenlandia president. ❤
'Domestication' is more cruel than slavery. It means not only that we see them as property but also that we modify their DNA to suit our needs, but is harmful to them. Unfortunately domestication is still seen as a positive thing.
She’s great!!! I eat tofu “chicken”. I love chickens. 😄❤️👍
Thank you so much for checking this out!
I love my pet chickens, they are going on 6 years old. There is some sort of peace around them. I love how they come home to roost by themselves. How they come to greet you and say hello. How they cluck when another chicken is on their nest. Just something very special having them in my backyard makes my yard feel like home.
So true 😊 I never thought I’d love my chickens the way I do. When I’m stressed I go out to the them in my back yard m, they come running to me and we cuddle 😂! Correction I grab one of my feathered butts and hold them close and they let me. They relax in my arms, I put my fingers through their warm feathers and down … and they take the stress away… even if it’s for a small moment. Then I reward them with treats and thank them for being my emotional therapy chickens. My rooster is my main man, he lets love on him until I let him go from my cuddles or sometimes he walks away and pecks at my pants until pick him up for more cuddles. They are bloody amazing animals and I will never look at Chickens the same again.
Heck yes, president of Chickenlandia!!!
Great job. Yes! I feel the peace. Saving the world one chicken at a time.😉
I thought with a red light in the beginning, red around chickens would be a safe color. I had a Rooster attacking me several times, now I wonder what I have been wearing!
Great TEDx talk! You are a natural Madame President!
This must be the best presentation of the year Thanks a lot
Thank you for this beautiful Ted Talk Dalia. I have tears of joy listening to you talk about chickens with such love and passion. I've just completed your course, learned so many things. And I can definitely confirm personally their natural ability to eliminate any kind of stress in a matter of seconds. This was what amazed me and got me into chickens. They rock. They are so underestimated. Wishing a great day everyone.

Hey Prez!

❤🎉

We love you Dalia!
I agree we would all be better people if we all spent time with chickens everyday! I only wanted 3 hens for eggs and fertilizer for my garden 8 years ago. I now have 10 roosters and 23 hens and have gone from being nearly an invalid to regaining 80% of my health!!! Chickens and goats have been my physical, mental, emotional, social and even spiritual therapists.
I saw Dalia in a short video on the Scratch and Peck website. Then I went to Chickenlandia, which lead me here. Thoroughly enjoyed this!!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching.
Yay Dali!!!!❤❤❤
Yes.they CAN save the world
Can you tell me if fermented scratch is better and show how to make it?
Most awesome talk. Sharing you on my MeWe, because now is time for chickens in the yard. They help combat Global Warming because there's eggs in the yard, we eat less beef. They make us less lonely and they're beautiful. Why am I crying?
