I have no idea why this showed up on my feed but I'm over the moon it did. Thank you David, because your art is so inspiring. I'm going to send it to my daughter who loves sculptural art and loves being in the woods. Seems perfect for her! She used to make little people out of corks.

This niche art form requires so many completely different skills. Modeling, nature photography, storytelling, and patience. I'm totally blown away, I want a Becorn calander.
I would add musically skilled.
A camera is a fantastic gateway tool that leads you into other worlds that you might never have envisaged in your wildest dreams.
You look through the viewfinder and next minute your sewing, carving, welding, soldering, crafting, constructing, recording, mixing Chemicals, referencing, and often researching and composing, and editing, and sometimes you'll cut your breathing. They can be huge time consumers so you never get to watch a TV, and whole days can disappear as well as the night. You can make a living from them, hide behind them, and get in trouble with them. A change of lens or a filter or a case, can open up other worlds that you've never seen, and wouldn't see without the camera and lens. First buy a camera and see what you see. I don't think there is any other tool that can lead to so many other interests.
I second that!
I WANT A BECORN CALENDAR OMGGGGGG
Gotta have that perfectionist personality a little bit.
I really like how the birds are like “ ummm excuse me? “ when you raise the jelly pulley up.
😊
For the first time after so many-many years I felt again the vibes from my childhood - when you see something so beautiful, interesting and kind, that you drop your jaw and can't stop smiling. Simple joy of a kid - that what your video gave me today. Thank you, dear sir.
Absolutely, this is exactly what I experienced! A video showed up out of nowhere first thing this morning and I was smiling and laughing with so much joy in my heart; David is a genius and a heart healer, so needed in the world right now❤
The sick world we live in needs more poets, storytellers, artists and nature lovers like you !
What you do is beautiful !
100%
If only we could keep paying the bills
This man is the one who is sick!
Exactly 💯
Poems, stories and art cannot feed, clothe and house 8 billion people. If we wanted a nicer planet, we should have stopped at 5 billion.
Too fantastic, too sweet, too inspiring, too emotional....too...... just too much. You and your colleagues Becorns are just amazing and you brighten up my day. I thank you with all my heart for what you do and what you are. Best of the best to the great Artist you are... from Tuscany
Such a great work. How are you doing?
I am doing very similar work with my ' lab mice' .
They are free range and in exchange for me not making them suffer through pain and agony ..... They point out ( in very creative ways) how to find treatments and cures for many diseases that otherwise would be hard to deal with .
god..
Wow not much blows your mind. ......merican?
DITTO!! ❤️❤️❤️
This whole series is the definition of wholesome
I love that there is a back story to every becorn interaction, and I especially love how invested you are with each picture. They are ALL wonderful encapsulations of a precious unique moment. I have had your calendar now for the last two years. And some cards, too. THANK YOU!
When I purchased greeting cards online from David, he included in my order a personal, hand-written note on a cute acorn-shaped card he had designed, so touching. And my sons, not known for their aesthetic sensitivities, admired David's Becorn people because, like the Lego people he used to design, they were unique, expressive and fun! Three cheers!
Awwww how sweet
Becorns are lovely little people, but may I also say "so are you". Your narration, your drawings, your story lines, your patience, INCREDIBLE AND BEAUTIFUL AND CALMING, long live your Becorns.
You must have mental issues and only the LORD God of Hosts can help you.
OMG! The childrens' STORIES that can be written, using these various pix of your Becorns & Birds! Awesome ideas are already churning in my mind! I love your "little people" Becorns (& how they love interacting with birds!
Why in the world does this Gentleman only have 107 thousand subscribers when he should have 107 million...great work, inspirational.
Algorithms
Because of this comment, there is thousands more people that subscribed
Gentlemen ? Did you seriously just assume this person's gender? He obviously doesn't identify as male by his speech.
@@user-lf8yv9be9v And you know this how?
Edit: you are most welcome to be what you want to be. However, you will not force me to accept your way of thinking. The creator of B Corns is a man and as a man I will treat him, whether he likes it or not.
@@user-lf8yv9be9vI have replied to you but boob tube may have deleted it. So, with that, I will say this...the creator of B Corns is a male, therefore a man and I will treat him as a man regardless of if he likes it or not.
Looks like UA-cam is randomly suggesting your video to a lot of people, including me, and all I can say is I'm speechless. This was truly fascinating, calming, magical, you name it. It also reminded me of this book I read as a child about a little becorn guy who traveled around the forest and discovered how things worked and made many friends among its inhabitants.
Thank you so much for sharing your art with us.
The UA-cam algorithm is getting more interesting the last couple of weeks - ti suggests a wider range of stuff - and this is a great example.
I love your videos but you NEED to make more videos
With each photo this man takes, he builds his world, bird tamers, mice warriors, the battle against the squirrels. It's simply lovely how dynamic each of these photos are and what stories they tell.
David, I am tickled that I found you and your art work/creations. Thank you for sharing the joy!
This video just randomly shows up in my feed and now I'm in love. This guys is so talented creating those Becorns, taking a shot of these beautiful moments, and even making his own soundtrack/background music. All about this channel is so calming and pleasing.
What a great adaptation to storytelling :) The apprentice made a huge difference. Can't wait for next year's looking up pose!
The birds either hanging on to the jelly dumbwaiter or just looking at it with confusion and contempt as their snack is pulleyed away from them is pretty darn funny! What a holiday treat to have a new Becorn video upload!!! Thanks for these sweet and amusing videos!
What a great way to interact with the bird world. I love your little acorn people and action drawings! Birds are such shy creatures, and it takes so long to gain their respect and trust. Super Sweet and Genius!
I would give my life to protect you and your art… this is too innocent and wholesome…
I would love to see a stop motion animated short/film of the becorns. The designs and photo compositions each tell a story that I'd be very invested in.
With the soundtrack consisting of cowbells, acoustic guitars and the classic piano. *Woodblocks too
Yeah, thought that immediately as well but minus the “pharmaceutical” soundtrack!
Pinocchio is the closest we get to something like that.
Just wanted to say, I was having a really crappy day, just wanted to sleep, but ended up watching this and it majorly boosted me. Your work to get these amazing photos with your Beecorn creations is so pure and uplifting, and the combination of art, nature, photography, storytelling, and even architecture that goes into your videos is so cool!
Your little acorn people are so sweet! I love the whimsey, the birds and your sense of humor - Thank you so much!
I am absolutely captivated by your posts. Your “work” is straight out of a whimsical fairytale wonderland. SO beautiful ♥️
I literally have cried the sweetest tears over this. This is exactly what my Spirit needed in such a dark world right now. Thank you so much for a wholesome and incredible work you do.
Same here ❤
It's the same world it's always been. You're also less likely to die randomly nowadays. Turn off your social media, and embrace life prior to connectivity.
^^ am i reading that right??
He makes these amazing pieces of art, AND he writes music?! ❤
Giving off some ConcernedApe vibes.
And he looks like a Chad. Some people are just built different.
@@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy no he doesnt?
@@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy What does that even mean?
And his name is David Bird!
Oh my goodness I loooove the stories!!! It’s sweet that I literally get pulled closer to the screen to watch and listen!! Thank you so very much for warming heartwarming videos ❤️❤️❤️
Im so glad this channel popped up on my suggestion feed. Birds are my obsession. I spend every free moment either watching in real life or watching on livestreams. Im glad ive found a new channel and more Bird people to fellowship with. ❤️
This is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. This man is so creative and sweet. I'm sure his wife is very happy.
I saw the toys and thought what a great dad he would be. 😊

@@scientificallyaccuratespino nor is there any reason to think he isn't! 😂 All that really matters is how amazing his art is. But it helps he is cute as hell! 😍😄
UA-cam sent me this video. I have never been happier or more fascinated. Your voice, your way of telling the story and of course the animals too. The Becorns steal the show for me. This has really reinforced for me bthat there is still so much good and beauty in this world. Wholesome and education while also being downright fascinating and intriguing too. You really have something here. Thank you so much for sharing all that you have. I LOVE THIS!
The way you talk is so calming. It always eases my soul to watch people do unusual things they’re passionate about. I’m so glad I found this channel!!! ♥️
Very peaceful, i wish the world is filled up with more of this kind of content. Beautiful, peaceful and truly inspiring
Absolutely magical. I have no idea why this was randomly suggested by the algorithm, but I was having a bit of a depressive dissociative episode the calm majesty of this really grounded me. Your work is phenomenal. Thank you x
Hi David! I received my 2023 Becorns calendar last week. It is so awesome! Your Becorns are the sweetest little woodland creatures. I can’t wait to see how next spring’s Oriole project goes!
There is a calendar? I need this in my life!
Miniatures are so endearing for many reasons. Yours are whimsical and have so much thought that goes into making them. I smile the whole time I watch this. Perfect way to unwind at the end of the day! You are so multi-talented!
Reading the title of this video, I'd thought it would be an educational video about a group of birds called the becorns, which included orioles and catbirds. I was charmingly surprised to find this well of creativity, passion, and love for the natural world. Thank you for bringing this art into the world, it matters.
Your art is not only sweet and heartwarming, but you are highly skilled 😮😊😻
This is so peaceful…
PBS-Esque. I love the little acorn figures. Made so meticulously. The birds are so funny to watch. All of the different strategies that they use to access the food. Thank you so much for this heartwarming video! 😊
David M. Bird you have got to be the most gentle man I have ever encountered. Thank you for sharing your creativity and patience.
If only you could 3d model these guys and bring them to life through animation too! This is so creative and it's enjoyable to watch the whole process! Becorns!!!!
In these very trying times, your Becorns and their stories lighten my heart. Thank you.
I absolutely love Becorns! I could watch this video over and over - wait - I already do. Their amazing expressions, your process of making them, the photography, the sweetness, your friendly voice - all are completely enchanting. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
My daughter and I enjoy your videos so much! Your creativity and sweet nature is such a joy.
these are lovely- thank you for making Becorns and then sharing them. Love to see your process and how you and the Becorns adapt to the situation.
I love the way you speak so happily and eagerly about the birds. It makes me so happy to know that someone else loves nature just as much as I do. Please keep making your becorn friends! I love them so much
You can't love anything that doesn't exist. Why are you so destined to delusion?
@@severiusbrandusa1413 🤨??
@@severiusbrandusa1413 why be an asshole?
You’re a fantastic artist, engineer, musician, storyteller and a photographer all rolled into one! Truly a rockstar, I’m so glad I found this channel!
Agree 😊
Does he make the music?
Can't miss the fact that his voice is thee most amazing voice that could be paired with his art!
^This^
I absolutely love seeing the process you have shown us. It's so interesting to see the art, craftsmanship, inovativation, discoveries, photography, composition and intent. The whole thing is so organic. I am amused and impressed. Also a little envious. I also appreciate observing bird behavior. Very interesting. Wow. Just love it all. Thank you so much!
Your art makes me nostalgic, it's hard to describe. As a kid I would create all sorts of things from stuff we found outside plus I pretty much grew up on things created by a local indie game studio - Amanita Design. What I found out about just recently is that they also worked on the movie named Kooky. (Kuky se vrací) It's got amazing character design and I recommend checking that out. I absolutely adore when people use nature in their creations in any form. I haven't even mentioned the care and effort you put in your art, it makes it feel so special. Watching these videos is so comfortable, like cuddling up in a warm blanket. Gotta appreciate the little things. (literally :D)
I’m hooked. As someone who writes children’s books as a hobby, I find this delightful and mesmerizing. I hope this work continues to bless you and those who watch!
ooh what books have you written ?
Right? I can totally see these delightful little nature spirits in a stop-motion animation short. A charming little tale of life, death, and rebirth.
I’d love to write and illustrate my own but I have no ideas 😂
I was thinking this could somehow be made into such an adorable children’s book. Like pictures, maybe some words for the story, shots without birds but just the characters where they aren’t as necessary… it would be so adorable. Even as an adult honestly I’d buy a book of that.
Orioles are so hard to get a good shot of. Your talent seems limitless, you created the most adorable Becorns, you draw fantasticly, you have such a delightful imagination AND you create music, I’m in awe!
You're a Great Spiritual Treasure. Thank you, David 🌻🌺❤️🌺🌻
I hope you always keep this precious and wholesome view into wildlife for your fans ❤ it truly brightens my day to see an appearance from the Becorns and the other subjects of the story
Dude… these are incredible!! I’ve been making little Robots like this because I was inspired by you! Keep it up, man. Keep using this gift.
Would have loved to have bought some of the postcards, but £20 just for the shipping of 5 postcards is just too much. Really great video though.
I love the Becorns and their names and the stories .. Have you thought of a children's book using your photographs or your drawings or a mix of both? You could have a little Becorn family or a village. I love the use of natural things for their construction , the simple beauty of nature. It could be a great thing to introduce children to and to foster an appreciation for nature, you could even make it educational , including information about specific birds or flowers or trees. The videos are delightful !
OMG the best idea! Maybe write him directly and tell him. This coming from an elementary school teacher of 20 years.
Good idea
All that little details and hard work put into this. It's so beautiful. And I'm so glad that you have a love for birds 😊
These videos made my day. You definitely know how to ‘capture’ your audience🥰 Thank you for shining your light✨
I can't believe UA-cam finally suggested me something great. Subscribed immediately, as an artist and amateur wildlife photographer, I can not wait for more videos from you
As someone who loves art, storytelling and nature I find this all very fascinating and inspiring! The photos you create are incredible, too !
Thanks, Tim Ferriss for giving us the heads on this lovely video.
Thank you, David, for the joy.
I love the extent of fabricating contraptions that went into capturing these photos rather than just relying on photoshop. Just wonderful!
Everything about this is just sooooo sooothing to me. (his voice included.) It’s warm. Comforting. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Don’t know how i ended up here either but i’m going to be watching from now on 🥰
This warmed my heart. You’ve got such a great passion for art and photography and express it in such a unique way.
Like so many artists, you start out with a goal or vision and as you keep working it develops into something else, usually much better! Thanks for all of your efforts and creativity! I hope you never stop sharing with us!
I love your little Becorns!!!!!!! Just watching your videos the little creatures bring a smile to my face......thank you!
Your videos make me happy. Your creativity and gentle spirit are delightful. Your dear and precious Becorns are a welcome alternative to the noise and chaos of society. I'm glad you're on the planet.
All along the video I was thinking: "damn, these tunes are so chill and great, who did he hire??". And bam, it was you all along. I really love all the work you're doing with your lil becorns and all those great birbs :3
I love your characters, your photos and these videos. Amazing work
This whole creative concept is just so delightful for all ages - thank you for sharing!
David, your creativity and your gentle spirit bless me. I'm going through hard times these days but your videos bring peace to my heart. Thank you so much for what you do and please keep on doing it! I have shared your videos with many friends.
Finding this channel has made my year. Love it! ❤❤❤❤
Mine too!!
When I was a kid I didn’t have friends since I moved schools very often so I’d sit under trees during recess and make little stick people. When I’d come home I’d sew little dresses out of flowers for them. Seeing this really connected with that younger part of me, thank you for sharing.
I love these little beings so much!!! Thank you for so much rich pure tear inducing heart touching JOY!!!( Your heart shines right through!!)
Okay.. seriously, I started balling crying while watching this. I am so grateful to see such beauty, sweetness and purity in the world. I can quite literally feel and see how many hearts you are touching and uplifting through your craft. You are a true gem, and a true inspiration. Keep doing what you do! ♥ Thank you for being you.
Yes!!!
Yes, this is what Life is about!
Thanks for saying something now i feel less alone.
Literally? Why are you a liar and a bum?
@@janetgies8698 No it isn't. You are a fool.
So inspiring and wholesome and cozy! The Becorns and birds are so cute, and the tone you have while narrating is so calm and relaxing! All of the artistry that goes into making your shots line up, catching the photo, observing the birds, and of course, bringing the little Becorns to life is so satisfying to watch come together.
Makes me wanna go out on a nature adventure too! 🦜🐿🪶🪵🍂🍁 🌰
💯
Love this, your ideas and creativity. And the Becorns are cute and funny.
I would love to see short stories of little adventures of the Becorns on tv for little children
I love this so much, I have been struggling to find my photography niche, I love so many types of photography but this what you are doing is exactly what I want to do. I have huge respect for you and cant wait to figure out what my tiny subjects will be like. I love that you included the wildlife it's completely on point and very good. I cant tell you how much this inspires me! Thank you so much
Please please please TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT this if you haven’t already. This is absolutely genius. My mom and I have watched the others then you didn’t post for a while. This is a million dollar idea. The story, the characters, kids would love it, and adults!!! You can eventually create an animated series, I love the live action, we all do. But animated would be good also. Easy for kids to view it at home and understand and enjoy the stories! Your voice is great too, you could narrate the whole thing. It’s perfect. Eventually develop a toy/figure line. You are a multi millionaire you just don’t know it yet.
He could do stop motion animation
absolutely! this is incredibly creative and a lot of people would love it, he should trademark/copyright this
Or just enjoy your hobby and don't let chasing after money ruin it.
@@peacockpie5368 enjoy the hobby…and why not make money while you do it??? He can do a lot of good things.
I want to see this in a video game. I think its the characters and their size in relation to animals in such beautiful environments that REALLY hooks me. great stuff
🥹 So peaceful and beautiful scene.. l’m so glad to know an artist like you!
I am thoroughly enjoying the personality he shows with his becornes and how their personalities are normally like. ☺️LIFE IS AMAZING🥰 and then a bird just punts itself into them and they’re like *AAAAA OH GOD*
I find myself with a huge smile on my face every time I watch your videos. I just love your ideas and patience and talent. Can't wait for another calendar
I'm so excited that your creative work showed up on my UA-cam, I was on holiday in France and walking my dogs each day I walked over thousands and thousands of acorns and said to my Dutch friend I wish there was something I could think of to do with these lovely little things, and you have, and I absolutely adore your Becorns. Fabulous work.
I love these, so calming! It's fun to see the world from the Becorns' perspective.
I love your Becorns....so precious. Agree with the guy who suggested a calendar. I want one!
This warms every millimeter of my heart. Thank you for sharing these gifts you have with the rest of us.
I love the intersection of creativity, art, natural science, physics, psychology, nature crafting, and storytelling all in one! ❤😊
This is so mellow and fun. Part of it is David's soothing voice.
This is the best thing that I’ve ever seen. Brought back the childlike wonder of nature that I lost so long ago. Thank you for being you!
I have a smile on my face because of your incredible imagination. When I was a very small child I built haciendas. Mini match boxes were molds for the adobes. In those days there were horney toads galore and their little babies about the size of a pencil eraser could be rounded up into the Pueblo. The best part was watching them make their way out and back to momma! Thank you for taking me on your tour!
The work you do is indescribable. As an artist myself, I hope to one day aspire to something as important and wonderful as the Becorns.
This is Great! Thank You! The world needs more of this 💗🙏🏻
I'm absolutely in love with your art and video style. Even the commentary was refreshing and relaxed!
Wow what a feel good video. I could listen and watch a full length feature film of these characters! 🙌🥰 well done and thank you!
Thank you for the creativity, care, and love you put into this video. It is wonderful to see a creator who so obviously enjoys what they do! 🙂
Just randomly showed up on my feed, I clicked now I’m hooked. Little Becorn ppl are adorable 🥰
I just discovered your channel. Bless you for your creativity, humor, kindness and artistic skills! Our world needs more of your influence. From a viewer who feeds the birds (and squirrels and hedgehogs) in France
Finally a recommended video that is wholesome and not a video about a bunch of pranks. Such a cute video & super inspirational.
This is such refreshing content. So glad I stumped upon one of your reels on Instagram. Can't imagine having the patience you have to get these absolutely perfect shots. These photos give me a feeling of nostalgia, like I'm a kid again.
David, you're a genius of the class of Hank Anderson. Cheers !
As wonderful as the videos are, so are the pictures. Please don't stop making this videos and I pray that you sell a lot of printings to support your just amazing work.
I love these! Please keep sharing these videos. These have really helped me through a very emotional day. I'm so glad you shared your talent with me 🥰
