Brian is a very experienced and thoughtful naturalist who truly loves the field and is not burdened by egotism. He earned his statements by his own observations and running everything through a thorough thought process. Thanks, Brian.
I really enjoyed this video! I'm glad the algorithm picked it up and showed it to me. I hope your channel continues to grow. A bit of feedback, I agree with some of the other comments to drop the ai images. The snippets of footage of the robins were fantastic though!
I think the ai images are appropriate as they give a visual to something from a past circumstance or something we may not see everyday. Also remember Brian's audience is not entirely an adult audience, these images are great to hold the interest of a child 👏👏👏 this is a well thought out teaching curriculum 🙌🐾💚
Thank you for this channel! So glad YT put it in my search!!! I was searching for how long the lifespan of an Oregon Junco is… I live on the Monterey Bay in California and have a male Junco buddy that is absolutely fearless! I feed the little birds outside my large picture window of my bedroom… one day last winter I happened to leave my window open as I went to get more seed… when I got back my little buddy was down on the floor of my bedroom “fighting” the Junco in the floor mirror! With time he has come 2 years now and literally waits for me to put a bowl of feed on the floor near the mirror so he can come in to fight the Junco in the mirror and eat! If I sit on my bed to read, he often lands of my toes to talk and watch me! I just love him so much! I named him Pippie… and I need to know what his lifespan is? ❤
I don't know exactly for juncos, but there was a study looking at the age of sparrows. They found that most sparrows die before their first year, but if they survive two years then they're very likely to survive for at least 12 years. I suspect it would be similar for juncos because they're in the sparrow family. It's quite possible your junco friend will continue being around for many years to come!
i really liked this video the ai images allow you to have a more personal video style without needing to have a large library of expensive, and often unsuitable stock footage or self-made bird observation which would take hundreds of hours and dollars to create.
Thank you! Yeah I really like the freedom it gives me to talk about things I otherwise wouldn't have visuals for. Thanks for watching and adding your feedback to the mix!
I was watching raptors at Derby Hill NY a few years ago, and one of their experts announced that a Sharpie was coming. I asked him what a Sharpie was, He said that it was a Sharp Shinned Hawk . I asked where it was, he said that it had not arrived yet. I asked what did he mean, he is announcing a bird that had not yet arrived. He told me to watch and listen to all the other small song birds up in a flap. Seconds, later, the Sharpie soared up and over the edge of the hill. He was able to accurately identify a bird before he had seen or heard it, by the actions of others.
Nice! Yeah those fast moving aerial bird hunters can cause some very large disturbances when they fly through. That's super cool he was able to predict that. It's a perfect example of bird language. Thanks for sharing
Haha yeah for sure! Our american robins are actually very closely related to your common blackbirds (Terdus Merula). A lot of what I say about "robins" in this video will also apply to your blackbirds 😀
Yes! I often tell people a great way to start learning bird language is to find a cat and follow it around to see what the birds do :)@@helixsapiensis5078

He is pretty amazing. I'm listening to one of his books on my walks. Love his ideas for exercises to get more in touch with nature.
Wow thank you so much! I'm so glad to know you appreciate my work
i wonder if our relationship with birds is why is comforting to hear birdsong
Yeah that's a fascinating thought! It would make sense given that birdsong is one of the signs of safety communication
Great video! I hope you can make more videos of birds

Thank you for this detailed feedback, it's super helpful! I'm glad you still enjoyed the video overall!
I thought the imagery was beautiful. What is your problem with it?

grandmother how did you know that was going to happen? Because a little bird told me. Thus began my bird language education.
Fantastic
Thank you!
I loved this video, learned so much..thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
That is amazing footage of the robin!!
Yeah they've been kind enough to give me some really great filming opportunities. Definitely one of my favorite birds!
Really informative.
I was preparing for my army interview and this came in handy
I'm so glad this was helpful. Thanks for watching!

guys your robins look way different from ours in europe! I am shocked, how are they both called robins :D
Haha yeah for sure! Our american robins are actually very closely related to your common blackbirds (Terdus Merula). A lot of what I say about "robins" in this video will also apply to your blackbirds 😀
@@NatureMentor hey :) thank you for your reply! yes it def applies! when i go on hikes with my cats the birds always freak out :)
Yes! I often tell people a great way to start learning bird language is to find a cat and follow it around to see what the birds do :)@@helixsapiensis5078
i can tell u care about it but drop the ai imagery man it makes it look horrendous
Thank you for the feedback
