    I love watching your videos they’re always so calming and relaxing. That birdhouse that your husband painted oh my gosh those little birds were so adorable. I usually have little birds that build a nest in my wreath that I put on my front door, it has glass so I can see it right there, but I guess this year I put it out too late because they haven’t done anything. The last gosh 4 years I think it’s been so fun to watch is them build a nest and lay the eggs in there and then mama gets used to me coming in and out. I talk to her as I go out every time and she gets to a point where she doesn’t even fly away. And then to watch the babies grow, so I’m really missing that this year.

    You are such a lovely, loving, caring couple. I too, adore the birds, and I used to feed them all outside my house, but I had to totally stop, as we live near a river, and we had a rat infestation, and they were enjoying the bird food too! But I still see the birds all around - I have a nest box on the front of my house, and the blue tits still next there every year, which fills my heart with joy. xxx

    • @itsacharminglife

    Many years ago, my dad had his class build bird houses for the blue birds. They were the same simple design that you made, just didn't have cute blue birds painted on the exterior. He ended up setting them up on my grandparents farm. There were about 28 or more to set up, but he got it done on a weekend and for several years, he took care of and maintained these bird houses. The weather and age have destroyed them, as this was many years ago. (my dad is 90 years old) He has always been a nature lover and an avid bird watcher. Even at his assisted living home, there are 2 large bird feeders right outside his window. He helps provide the seed by sharing with another patron at the facility. I don't have the same love for birds as my dad, but my sister seemed to have the same DNA as she also used to provide lots of feeders, when she lived on the farm. She just recently passed away so that job will be given to someone else in the family.

      I love watching squirrels scamper around our back yard, but I stopped feeding the birds last year because mice found my bird feeders. I miss feeding the pretty birds that come to my yard, so I need to find some way to protect the feeders from mice. I also have a cute opossum who comes to my front porch to take a sip from my fountain one or two nights a week. This was such a beautiful video, Jonas and Lindsay. 🥰

My Grandfather taught me about birds when I was a little girl,and it always stayed with me. They are my backyard friends along with the squirrels. I have a bird bath,and several bird houses. I love Jonas's Art work on the bluebird house (so Retro !). Your filming, music,and bird sounds are just "Magical". Lindsay, your narration is lovely,such a beautiful voice. Thank you.

    I always get to know the birds around my house! I feed them in wintertime and provide them trees, bushes, flowers, and water spring-fall. I always see Roxanne the robin who builds on my patio and nags me when I come outside. Winds this year were so strong they knocked down her nests five times until she gave up and went somewhere else with her gentleman caller. There are four cardinals, one of which sits on my sill and nags me in the mornings. The male cardinal two-timed the female cardinals Clementine and Jolene until another male joined the fray. And there's Peeper the wren who's not the brightest bulb.
    My yard is full of bird drama.
