Lovely video! About the birds, they probably stayed away from your first DIY birdbath because the bottom was black. As you discovered later on, birds often look for specific water depths to bathe in, and before you put the gravel in they probably thought the water was much too deep!
@@Mochies_are_mandatory They did specify *these* birds- as in the backyard bird feeder/ birdbath birds featured in this video specifically- not speaking of all birds, generally. 😉 I'm sure they understand that there are indeed many birds that do swim.
Totally agree! I shared these with my grown grandsugars who automatically asked where I got it from! Since Dave mentions PBS, they wanted to know when it came on! I figured from that my younger grandsugars would be even more interested! I hope he goes all into it! Would absolutely love to buy & collect the different Becorns!!! Blessings!!!
I absolutely ADORE the magic and positive energy of the becorns. They are free spirits. I wished you also wrote children books and added your amazing drawings and your delicate stories. They would become classics.
That's definitely a great idea!!! ❤️ But I think they should be children's books with his real photography instead of drawings. Kids love real life nature photos... But these would have his whimsical twist and creative storyline!!
I wish my grandmother was alive to see your channel - it is everything I loved about her. She loved wildlife and wee folk. She taught us to make our own toys with items from the woods. Mostly we made homes in roots, etc. Becorns would be JUST the wee folk she'd have loved.
A man named bird has never had a birdbath in his yard? Lol I love your Becorns. They make me happy and help me remember that childlike wonder that lives in all of us. Thank you. I’m also happy you got recognized by your local PBS station.❤️🤗🐝
@@thenightporter Thank you! I see his little Becorns and it reminds me of making mud pies for the frogs and snails in my back yard as a child. I remember using acorn hats for little cups for them. But even though I grew up in an oak grove, I never made anything like a Becorn. Lol I’m just enamored with them! And I send them to my granddaughter sometimes❤️🤗🐝
I LOVE that Becorns are wandering around the remote forests where people haven't found their way to. Their world may be challenging when they have to defend against the squirrels, but still magical and forever interesting. 🥰
Oh my favorite little creations ❤ I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW HAPPY YOUR CHARACTERS MAKE PEOPLE ❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING WITH US!!! As a child this would have been my choice of toy's 😂
@@sonofhibbs4425 RIGHT!!! I wanted him to do a book or a movie to teach children the importance of nature in their life but some of his shots have taken like a year!!! I picture an adorable story of being able to live life together & not forget about the gifts God made for us 🥰
David, I’m a huge fan of your Becorn and photography. I decided to try making a Becorn for myself to place in a Thanksgiving table centerpiece. To my delight my first Becorn was a success. I named him Pi 😄 I’ve ordered your calendars and a print I’m having framed as a Christmas gift. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
My son is 18 years old with ASD and has no Hobbies yet does it happen so fast so one day we're walking at the park and my son Zacharia find acorns and the hats that go along then came home one day and started gluing the hats back on the acorn so I thought of this man who makes play coins into people open a Zachary would take up a good hobby of making people. Im still motivating him by showing him these video's of the young man making Becorn people .💖
Oh my goodness. If you're willing, it would be so fun to see your photos in a children's book. With your Becorns and your imagination you could make a wonderful, creative, fun children's book!!! :) Thank you for shang your work with us! :)
Your Becorns are whimsical and delightful. They take me back to my childhood and memories of reading May Gibs Snugglpot and Cuddlepie. Stories about gumnut babies. You have made your sketches dance right off the page and into real life. Have you thought about turning your photos into storry books or even stop motion shorts? Children and adults would love them. ❤🐨
Every time you upload a Becorn video I get so very excited. They bring a childlike wonder and peaceful joy into me whenever I watch them, not to mention the photos that come out of the process are always stunning!
AWWW adorable little birds I love watching these videos, they always calm me down and make me happy and these ideas for becorns are always so creative!! 🐦❤
I have no way to convey how much joy Becorns bring me! My bird porch has switched over to its winter collection of Becorn pictures. Whimsy and nature combined. Many thanks!
I love your creation. I work in a health food store that sells your calendar and I am always sure to share that you have UA-cam videos with people. You are a big hit! I love this one in particular.
Of course they're going up to Silas, he's a charmer like that. I adore the becorns and your work so much, really inspiring to have such 'in the moment' photography going on. You really see these animals from a new angle.
I absolutely LOVE watching your creativity come to life with these little Becorns!! Well done, not only with drawing up scenarios, and making individual Becorns, but your photography as well!! One of my most favorite channels…keep up the great work David..you’re a genius!!
I love your Becorns, they're so sweet and imaginative. You live in a forest wonderland, with all the trees, birds, and other wildlife. For your next project, I think you should put several Becorns in the pool, some swimming, others sunbathing on the rocks. Then, when the birds join in, it'll look like a big pool party!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work, the becorns are so endearing and I absolutely love the care and all the little details you put in to create this beautiful world of the small becorn people. A fond reminder of childhood days filled with entire days out in nature, admiring and loving every little detail, every animal and all those beautiful wonders that are out there.
I adore you so, so much Mr. Bird. I think your Becorns and their happy, fluffy friends have really made me a much calmer and happier person. I get so excited every time I see a new upload from you because I just love seeing your process for these amazing projects. I hope you are doing well, and I can't wait to see more from you!
I would LOVE to see the other designs with ships 😍I also think for this type of pose it would be nice to capture the bird above the figure as it takes off
I try to always encourage people to care for a birdbath. It's such a delight, even if you live next to a natural body of water. They love their own secluded spot. Once I was fortunate enough to witness 7 different types of birds In The Bath all taking turns at bathing. Bought tears to me... if the birds can get along like that, certainly we can too. ?? It was during a severe drought. Since, I've seen 2 or 3 types in at once but 7... was a sight. Thanks for your videos, love them! 🍂🕊🍂
I love how you figure things out and the patience you exhibit in working with Silas and the birds. Thanks for creating this lovely, innocent microcosm that makes me smile with joy every time. ❤😊
I absolutely love Becorns and the joy that you give us all, Mr. Bird! Thank you! wish you had some little Becorns we could 'adopt'! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Ohmygosh!! I love this so much. I don't know which I love more your bcorns and nature or your sweet brain and willingness to share with us the childlike imagination. Keep it up! So glad you've become so popular and adored by all. ❤( That's a mom heart)
So adorable as always!! 💕 I would’ve maybe gone with a Becorn with an umbrella (maybe a little mushroom or a leaf like in animal crossing) either shielding itself from the splashing bird, or maybe laughing as it does so 😊
Everything about this video just warms my soul. From watching the birds to enjoying your adorable little Becorns and even your voice It's all so soothing and relaxing to watch and see! Thank you for all your patience and hard work and sharing The process of all these amazing things that you've come up with. It truly made my day watching this!❤️🤗
So absolutely sweet and charming! I picked up a Becorn calendar and can't wait to put it up on January 1. I feed the birds and enjoy watching them so this is such a treat! 🤗💖
I said it before, I'll say it again. Becorns are as enchanting as Disney fairies, I would own a becorn movie if one was filmed. I'm over the moon that someone out there has noticed you , loved the becorns, and have shown your small part of the world. And in turn we get to enjoy the process.
I recently learned about a term called a "Glimmer"...Glimmers are those moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace or gratitude... Your Becorns, and their adventures in wildlife, are Glimmers I love, always make me smile, and are good for the soul ❤ Thank you for creating and sharing them, I'd love to have Becorns in my back yard 🥰 Suzy 🇬🇧😊
Your work is really adorable. It reminds me of an old children's book, that I loved so much. "Die Wurzelkinder". In the fifties it was a Christmas gift of my aunt Now I am 73 but I never forgot the beautiful pictures of plants, flowers, insects and other creatures which passed the winter sleeping underground. In springtime they all appeared with fresh colours and power to bring new life and joy to the people. You give me so much joy with your lovely work😊❤
Great video! Birds don’t care about the colour of the bath (black creates less algae growth), birds care about the depth and like a lot of humans, are leery about jumping into unknown water and prefer to wade in gradually until they know that the water depth is not a hazard. Birds are actually quite good at floating in deeper water if needed, but they still need a way to get out. Most commercial baths are too deep. I build my own recirculating water baths and they all go crazy for the running water. I love it when the birds soak in the water right up to their arm pits.
Your Becorn world is a blessing. When life gets in the way, I just adore watching your videos or seeing your pictures. They always make me smile. Thank you!
I just love your videos even though im a woman in my mid sixties. I was rewatching one of your videos this past summer while my 12 yr old daughter was swimming in the pool. Immediately she ran over to exclaim “are you watching the becorns!” She then enjoyed the show with me. I had introduced her to your videos when she was younger and apparently she’s still a subscriber ❤️🙏 thank you for bringing our childhood imagination to the foreground if only for a minute.
I absolutely adore your Becorns 😍 when I walk our woods, I like to imagine them as the lil folks living there and caring for our wildlife. thank you so much for taking us with you. you make me feel so happy
I absolutely love your wonderful Becorns. I agree that you could make a children's book, using your photos. The connection with nature and wildlife is beautiful and is so engaging for adults, I know that children would be fascinated and excited to enter the world of the curious, fun Becorns.
Beautiful beautiful work!!! You are a consument artist. Who couldn't just love this?! Bless your tender heart! Thanks for sharing your beautiful mind. If world leaders were like you, we would have peace. Jesus will bring it, though. Thanks again for your most delightful creations!!!
This was the best YT find i have found in a long time. You completely took my anxious mood and flipped it to pure delight as you took me back to some of my childhood wonder and playfulness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for reminding me that even at 36… I can still find merriment and play❤🌸
I have always loved your little bird sagas. It appeals to the little girl in me. Carefree goodness in fantasy play. Reminds me of playing house a hundred years ago. I missed you. Didn't see you for awhile.
Breathlessly searching for your other becorn videos. I saw you on CBS SUNDAY and I now have a set of your cards. Next the calendar and then print by print.... You are certainly a welcome one, you are a wonderful storyteller and your voice is perfect for it. I just love your little tikes and can't wait to see a forest party and all the guests who may come. Thanks for all the smiles.
Oh, to be a Becorn! It's a wonderful world you have created with adventure and wonder (and a little danger) - a world us onlookers admire and desire. Thank you!
haha....I was watching a blue bird do the "submarine" in our bird bath.....tucked his head under the water and pushed himself through it all the way to the other side, wings flapping ! 😆 ....love our bird bath ! Love your little creations too Mr Bird. So whimsical and creative. They just make me smile ! 😊
I enjoy your little BeCorns and the personalities that you give them. They make me happy and uplift my spirits. I am almost 70 years old and get so much joy from your super creative videos. Thank you
Love every bit, David, especially the childlike joy and wonder of REAL things. Might sound odd, since BeCorns are fantastical, but friendship, compassion, beauty, LIFE is REAL, and we have a generation, or more, of children who are separated from the reality you show in your work. You give hope and joy to us, all. Your children are supremely blessed.
@@davidmbird You are welcome. C.S. Lewis wrote of the indescribable longing we experience at times in our lives . . . (for me, a sunset, breeze, sounds of birds outside my window as the sunlight illumines fluttering curtains, draws my heart and often brings tears of yearning to be HOME.). It’s a yearning to belong; to be known and valued, warts and all. He posits that God doesn’t give us longings without the possibility of satisfying the longings. Your BeCorn scenes capture the loving “rightness” of relationship and are little glimpses of the fulfillment of the desire each of us has to belong. You have been entrusted with an awesome gift that gives honest snippets of hope and joy to a world in need, and you are touching millions of hearts. Abundant thanks to you, young man, and blessings to your family.
I'm so glad that you are back. I never gave up hope that I would see your becorns again. Your talent and imagination are superb. I will watch your PBS video. Congratulations on all you do, we need something like becorns because they are gentle, funny and childlike. Hope to see more of you in the future.
Wonderful!! Don’t give up on the sailing Becorn idea please?? I adore it so much, and there are so many possibilities for sailor-garbed Becorns exploring for new lands (but actually just crossing a small pond or something!)
Lovely to see your process David! I like the runner up image 11:10 because there is a spectator bird (House Finch?) in the background watching them both. Sure, it’s out of focus but that just puts more emphasis on the party in the field of focus.But that golden light is magical too! Lovely work!!!
So sweet! We have a birdbath right outside our front windows and my husband and I love to watch the birds taking a dip or getting a nice drink during our hot Texas summers. We especially love this family of Blue Jays that visit daily...I never really knew how beautifully their tail feathers are patterned, just so majestic!
My husband and I moved into a cabin in the woods and when we first saw the place there were a TON of acorns on the ground and decks. So we named the place Acorn Falls. Then I saw, on instagram, one of your pictures and fell in love. I am now the proud owner of two of your pictures!! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Holy cow!!! I remember watching your videos 3 years ago. And now look!!! You are a beautiful person & it shows in your work. Thank you for blessing us with your talents. I can't wait to go buy some of your prints!!
Congratulations on PBS,you deserve as much attention as possible.You show "us" to relaxed & appreciate nature & also to "go for it" bring to life ones ideas& art .This is PURE JOY!! T.Y.
David Bird, you are amazing! ❤ i have purchased your calendars now for two years, and I watch and share every single video. Your Becorns are simply fantastic works of art and imagination. Wishing you a happy life.
Lovely video! About the birds, they probably stayed away from your first DIY birdbath because the bottom was black. As you discovered later on, birds often look for specific water depths to bathe in, and before you put the gravel in they probably thought the water was much too deep!
I think so too, and deep dark water often has predators lying in wait.
These birds can’t swim, so they def need a place to land before being able to splash around :-)
Haha! Exactly what I came to say!
@s.k.1091 duck: am I fish to you?
@@Mochies_are_mandatory They did specify *these* birds- as in the backyard bird feeder/ birdbath birds featured in this video specifically- not speaking of all birds, generally. 😉 I'm sure they understand that there are indeed many birds that do swim.
Becorns should be a children's book and a television series.
Totally agree! I shared these with my grown grandsugars who automatically asked where I got it from! Since Dave mentions PBS, they wanted to know when it came on! I figured from that my younger grandsugars would be even more interested! I hope he goes all into it! Would absolutely love to buy & collect the different Becorns!!! Blessings!!!

I absolutely ADORE the magic and positive energy of the becorns. They are free spirits. I wished you also wrote children books and added your amazing drawings and your delicate stories. They would become classics.
I would definitely have bought Becorns storybooks for my children. 🙂🥰
Oh yes please! We need becorn books. My grandsons would love that and so would the children that visit my little library!
I would read it myself actually
That's definitely a great idea!!! ❤️ But I think they should be children's books with his real photography instead of drawings. Kids love real life nature photos... But these would have his whimsical twist and creative storyline!!
Yes ! Excellent idea

@@deborahdanhauer8525 I made mudpies too.

And cbs Sunday morning!!

YES! Many, many more, please!
There is so much awfulness going on everywhere lately. We need more of your Becorn magic ASAP!

Every Time I see one of these my day immediately gets 100x better :D
This is why art and music in the schools is so important. Thank you David Bird.
Your Becorns are whimsical and delightful. They take me back to my childhood and memories of reading May Gibs Snugglpot and Cuddlepie. Stories about gumnut babies. You have made your sketches dance right off the page and into real life. Have you thought about turning your photos into storry books or even stop motion shorts?

Film producers PLEASE see this talented guy's works. I want a whole film of the Becorn family adventures❤😅
This was great! Congratulations on featuring on your local PBS!
I have no way to convey how much joy Becorns bring me! My bird porch has switched over to its winter collection of Becorn pictures. Whimsy and nature combined. Many thanks!
I love the whimsey and charm, of course! The behind the scenes brings a whole new quality of admiration. ❤
Stunning as always, I cannot begin to describe what an inspiration you are, and the amount of joy your content brings. 😄
I love your creation. I work in a health food store that sells your calendar and I am always sure to share that you have UA-cam videos with people. You are a big hit! I love this one in particular.
I just love when you show your process! When you leaned Silas back, I cheered - you always find the gesture! ❤🐦🌿
Of course they're going up to Silas, he's a charmer like that. I adore the becorns and your work so much, really inspiring to have such 'in the moment' photography going on. You really see these animals from a new angle.
I absolutely LOVE watching your creativity come to life with these little Becorns!! Well done, not only with drawing up scenarios, and making individual Becorns, but your photography as well!! One of my most favorite channels…keep up the great work David..you’re a genius!!
I love to watch these videos, they calm down my anxiety, I love your art
I have anxiety and depression and these calm and lift me.
You are amazing! Your joy is contagious. And your patience is inspiring. Thank YOU, Silas, and our feathered friends. Yay, Becorns! 🥳
I LOVE Becorns and their stories and adventures! Thank you very much for creating the wonderful world of Becorns.❤
12:38 Scarlet Tanager, very nice.
12:39 Black and White Warbler, VERY nice.
Love your creativity and passion for a project you clearly adore - much admiration to you and the Becorns from the UK 🐝🌽
Oh haha
I get the emojis
This made me feel like a kid again. I just found you, and fell in love with the becorns.
Like White’s Stuart Little, which I loved as a kid. Stuart Becorn and Friends!
I love your Becorns, they're so sweet and imaginative. You live in a forest wonderland, with all the trees, birds, and other wildlife. For your next project, I think you should put several Becorns in the pool, some swimming, others sunbathing on the rocks. Then, when the birds join in, it'll look like a big pool party!

I've never been so lost in something so wonderfully whimsical. ♥️♥️♥️
From inspiring me as a child through Bionicle to inspiring me as an adult through your beautiful Becorn photography... Keep up the great work David! ❤
I adore you so, so much Mr. Bird. I think your Becorns and their happy, fluffy friends have really made me a much calmer and happier person. I get so excited every time I see a new upload from you because I just love seeing your process for these amazing projects. I hope you are doing well, and I can't wait to see more from you!
The most beautiful thing i had ever seen. What an imagination. And what skills !! You are a very crafty man 👍
David I found you today and I must say I instantly fell in love with your art. Its so unique and beautiful Im obssesed! I love you!.
Amazing to see how you work. The photos are so awesome.
I enjoy what you do so much!! Your are so clever. The Becorns are adorable. Thank you for that wonderful video!!
How beautiful, I have seen your videos over the years and it's always a joy to watch them.
David I honestly love your work so much, I get really excited when there's a new episode, I wish it could be a real series of Becorn Adventures!
Same!!
I would LOVE to see the other designs with ships 😍I also think for this type of pose it would be nice to capture the bird above the figure as it takes off
I try to always encourage people to care for a birdbath. It's such a delight, even if you live next to a natural body of water. They love their own secluded spot.
Once I was fortunate enough to witness 7 different types of birds In The Bath all taking turns at bathing. Bought tears to me... if the birds can get along like that, certainly we can too. ??

I love how you figure things out and the patience you exhibit in working with Silas and the birds. Thanks for creating this lovely, innocent microcosm that makes me smile with joy every time. ❤😊
Thank You, get off work and to sit down for a bit and watch your creations takes the day away to the embrace of smiles!!.

I just love your little tikes and can't wait to see a forest party and all the guests who may come.
Thanks for all the smiles.
Oh, to be a Becorn! It's a wonderful world you have created with adventure and wonder (and a little danger) - a world us onlookers admire and desire. Thank you!
This is some of the best original art and story telling in a while. Completely new and beautiful.
haha....I was watching a blue bird do the "submarine" in our bird bath.....tucked his head under the water and pushed himself through it all the way to the other side, wings flapping ! 😆 ....love our bird bath ! Love your little creations too Mr Bird. So whimsical and creative. They just make me smile ! 😊
I enjoy your little BeCorns and the personalities that you give them. They make me happy and uplift my spirits. I am almost 70 years old and get so much joy from your super creative videos. Thank you
Just wonderful David! & QUITE the acting chops! 😜 I'm spreading the word that you've released a new video. LOVE IT!
Love every bit, David, especially the childlike joy and wonder of REAL things. Might sound odd, since BeCorns are fantastical, but friendship, compassion, beauty, LIFE is REAL, and we have a generation, or more, of children who are separated from the reality you show in your work. You give hope and joy to us, all. Your children are supremely blessed.
This comment made my day! Thanks!
@@davidmbird You are welcome. C.S. Lewis wrote of the indescribable longing we experience at times in our lives . . . (for me, a sunset, breeze, sounds of birds outside my window as the sunlight illumines fluttering curtains, draws my heart and often brings tears of yearning to be HOME.). It’s a yearning to belong; to be known and valued, warts and all. He posits that God doesn’t give us longings without the possibility of satisfying the longings. Your BeCorn scenes capture the loving “rightness” of relationship and are little glimpses of the fulfillment of the desire each of us has to belong. You have been entrusted with an awesome gift that gives honest snippets of hope and joy to a world in need, and you are touching millions of hearts. Abundant thanks to you, young man, and blessings to your family.
I'm so glad that you are back. I never gave up hope that I would see your becorns again. Your talent and imagination are superb. I will watch your PBS video. Congratulations on all you do, we need something like becorns because they are gentle, funny and childlike. Hope to see more of you in the future.
Wonderful!!
Don’t give up on the sailing Becorn idea please?? I adore it so much, and there are so many possibilities for sailor-garbed Becorns exploring for new lands (but actually just crossing a small pond or something!)
Lovely to see your process David! I like the runner up image 11:10 because there is a spectator bird (House Finch?) in the background watching them both. Sure, it’s out of focus but that just puts more emphasis on the party in the field of focus.But that golden light is magical too! Lovely work!!!
Thank you for posting, love your videos
David you are a delight to my soul. Thank you for sharing you creativity with us all.
I smiled through this whole video!
So sweet! We have a birdbath right outside our front windows and my husband and I love to watch the birds taking a dip or getting a nice drink during our hot Texas summers. We especially love this family of Blue Jays that visit daily...I never really knew how beautifully their tail feathers are patterned, just so majestic!
😊 What a wonderful story & thank you for sharing the process &❤😄 Another triumph for the Brave B-corns
My husband and I moved into a cabin in the woods and when we first saw the place there were a TON of acorns on the ground and decks. So we named the place Acorn Falls. Then I saw, on instagram, one of your pictures and fell in love. I am now the proud owner of two of your pictures!! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your talents with us.
I love your creations. Please don't stop. More Please
Holy cow!!! I remember watching your videos 3 years ago. And now look!!! You are a beautiful person & it shows in your work. Thank you for blessing us with your talents. I can't wait to go buy some of your prints!!
Congratulations on PBS,you deserve as much attention as possible.You show "us" to relaxed & appreciate nature & also to "go for it" bring to life ones ideas& art .This is PURE JOY!! T.Y.
David Bird, you are amazing! ❤ i have purchased your calendars now for two years, and I watch and share every single video. Your Becorns are simply fantastic works of art and imagination. Wishing you a happy life.
