The rainbow was beautiful, the mushrooms were a surprise, and it’s always nice to see Tom loving your family of wonderful creatures too! Merry Christmas 🎄!
Both Jay and Joe are very patient and kind birds… they have grown to really trust you both… I have a feeling that they will soon be eating out of your hands ❤😊
I LOVE the Chickadees. To see Jay and lake beyond is breathtaking. These birds mean so much and their presence is soul calming during Winter's sleep. Tom and ChooChoo give us so much. Merry Christmas to them, the garden and the light they share. ❤
Choo Choo and Yom… wishing you both a very peaceful and relaxing Christmas Holiday week. I am always so thankful and grateful for your wonderful channel. ❤
Wishing You, Tom, and your viewers, a blessed Merry Christmas and a happy new year! TY for sharing your contents with us, and praying that all the little critters safely return, in the coming springtime of 2025.
Don't wait! Tom needs to keep doing that, but also have some food on the rail at a distance Jay feels comfortable with. Gradually reduce the distance, and Jay will get there. He could also have a line of food pieces, so Jay could take them up to the point she no longer feels comfortable. Repeat that each day, and she'll gradually get closer, at her own pace. It's all about operating within her comfort zone and not pushing her too far. She's already much closer to you humans than she was at the outset, so just keep it up. With some birds, trust is earned very slowly. Keeping still and relaxing is also important, just like Tom was doing. Offering encouragement by talking is optional. Make sure Jay at least manages to take away a little prize each day, otherwise it's a lose, and she'll give up on it. Ensure she gets a prize, and it's a win. Doing the exact same thing each day, at the same time, in the same place, also helps. I have a great tit that will land on a bowl of peanuts I'm holding in my hand, and it's taken a long time to get there. He's just about comfortable with that now, but won't land on my hand directly. I keep pushing his boundaries ever so gently, and I'm sure that one day I'll get there. I've managed it with another great tit, and she's comfortable with this, but each bird is individual, and has their own fears and level of trust. It can happen quickly, or very, very slowly, but it's a matter of working with what you've got. I loved the way Jay was looking directly up at Tom, contemplating. Make no mistake, progress is happening right there! It may take great patience, but keep it up! Just remember that enjoying the journey is as important as arriving at the destination.
Merry Christmas to you Choo Choo and Tom! Thankyou for sharing all the kindness you show to every little chipmunk and the little birds! I live through you both!
It’s so easy to get lost in the view, can’t imagine how excited you and Tom were when you found this magical location you now call home. Good to see Tom, really sweet of him to try and feed Jay, I’m sure one day Jay and Joe will see what they are missing out on. Thanks for sharing, Happy Holidays!🐦🐧🐧🐧💕🎄⛄️👍
@choochoostory - My wife and I wish you and husband Tom a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy and prosperous New Year with many many hours of love with all the cute friends you have that come visiting 🥰 All the best from Nanette 🇺🇸 and Peter 🇩🇰
Can I tell you how much I love your property! The landscape is very natural and love the winding driveway. Tom takes such good care of all things wood. The boathouse, your deck, etc.
Almost, Jay bird got 1/3 way towards Tom steady hand! That is progress! Keep it up when good weather comes your way. I also love it when there us snow, and the birds come to your window and ask for seeds, mealworms, and nuts.
If you be patient, Jay will really eat out of your hand. Just sit in the same position every day, and put the food in front of you and then put it closer and closer to you and sit still until Jay feels comfortable coming close then put it in your hand
Yes, I've done that, and it works. Haven't tried it with a jay though. With a larger bird like a jay, who will take several nuts at once, Tom could leave a line of nuts extending along the rail away from him. Then Jay could get accustomed to doing this at her own pace. How close she would come would clearly indicate the current limit of her comfort zone. Using that hand rail to get Jay to come closer is a really good idea. She's already comfortable with it, and it has easy escape routes to both sides. Perfect!
Remarkable, isn't it? The chickadees learn from each other, so once one bird proves it's safe, the others copy. I like how the chickadees are OK with sitting on the hand for a while before even contemplating taking a nut. That's trust, right there. Jay's trust doesn't go that far, yet, but is making progress. Also, the chickadees can probe the risks of landing on a hand by first just gripping onto fingertips and hanging over the edge. That way, they could escape quickly if needed. Jay is too big for that, so would have to take the plunge. Tom is going about it the right way by laying his hand down on the rail.
What a joyful video two days before Christmas here in LongIsland. Question were those mushrooms on the tree if so does it mean that the tree is gonna die soon?
I have been raising a bluejay indoors since it was infant. They are such independent creatures that even now she wont sit on my fingers. But every once or so will allow me to groom her with my nose. She hates hands for some reason
Pretty sweeeeeet feeding the Chickadees and Blue Jay 💙 ❤❤ A Very Merry Christmas, Choo Choo and Tom ❤❤❤ Beautiful area you live in ❤❤❤ Joan 😊
Thank you Joan! Merry Christmas to you as well! 🥰🎄

Aww, next time she will feed from the hand 🐦
It will happen Tom. Beautiful mushrooms, they look tough, I think most mushrooms look soft and delicate.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!!

Ah, yes . . . a rainbow! 💖
Merry Christmas Chucky!
I love the sound of the chickadees flying to and from your hand. I wonder if the blue jays are communicating when they tap on your porch railing?
They are splitting the husks off the sunflower seeds that they hold between their feet.
Those are some beautiful mushrooms!
❤
I don’t think it’ll be long now before the jays are eating from your hands. She came very close to Tom.
Jay is getting closer than ever before!🐦🥜💖💞🏡
I think so 🥰💕
츄츄님,

동물영상도 재밌지만 식물 보는것도 재밌네요 타박타박 단풍잎 밟는 소리도 듣기 좋아요
🍂🍁😊💕
It’s like a Disney film with the birds flying in and out, thanks for all the great film footage Nature is wonderful, Merry Christmas 🎄
Have you tried just mealworms, or mealworms and peanuts in your hand? They love their mealworms
They do love mealworm and peanuts. I will try them next year :)
Merry Christmas to all who are watching.
Merry Christmas🎅🎄❤

@choochoostory 🍓🌰🫐🍏🐿️
THRILLED to see Joe! Was worried he was OK. I don't know that Jay would even take seeds from choo-choo, but maybe one day it will happen😂.
❤❤❤
🥰💕
박새들은 사람손이 더 편한가보네요.
블루제이들은 과연 사람손에 올 것인가? 기대된다.
그리고, 버섯이 엄청나게 크네요.
봐도 잘 모르고 있어도 어떻게 먹는줄도 모르니. ㅋㅋ
즐거운 성탄되세요. ♥
내년에는 조금 더 가까워 지겠죠?😉🤗💕 즐거운 성탄절 보내세요🥰
Better luck with Jay, Joe and Baby next year. Happy New Year.

추추님 힐링영상 감사합니다. 따뜻한 크리스마스 보내세요.🥰
Jay might be a tough customer when it comes to hand feeding. She's got seeds stashed all over and may not feel the need to take chances.
Yes I agree 😊💕 Happy holidays😊
영지 버섯 모양의 독버섯도 있답니다.
조심하시길!!!!
추추님 톰님
즐거운 크리스마스
되시기를 바랍니다
감사합니다 즐거운 성탄절 보내세요🤗❤

So close! It will happen soon! Merry Christmas to Choo Choo, Tom, everyone watching this channel, and their forest friends! Stay warm!
Yes, it was very close🤗
Happy holidays and stay healthy🥰🙏
Ha aparecido el arco iris!!! No habéis pensado que Chucki y las demás ardillas desaparecidas, han bajado a veros? Yo, si.
That’s the one thing I won’t pick wild. A lot of people will travel just to pick mushrooms but I never pick from a territory I don’t know.
I really liked the video.
😊🙏🏼🥰
It's so interesting how the chickadees all seem to agree that landing on a hand to take a seed is safe, but Jay does not.
Remarkable, isn't it? The chickadees learn from each other, so once one bird proves it's safe, the others copy. I like how the chickadees are OK with sitting on the hand for a while before even contemplating taking a nut. That's trust, right there. Jay's trust doesn't go that far, yet, but is making progress.

Jay is too big for that, so would have to take the plunge. Tom is going about it the right way by laying his hand down on the rail.
I hate mushrooms but those look like good place to put food for the chipmunks when they wake up or a water dish.

깡총깡총 휘리릭 새들도 너무 귀엽네요❤ 다가갈까..하면서 머뭇거리는..조금 더 시간이 필요한 거겠죠~동물친구들이 츄츄님 톰님을 위해 영지버섯을 크리스마스 선물로 준비했나봐요❤
What a joyful video two days before Christmas here in LongIsland. Question were those mushrooms on the tree if so does it mean that the tree is gonna die soon?
It certainly means the tree is infected. Whether it will die, I don't know.
I have been raising a bluejay indoors since it was infant. They are such independent creatures that even now she wont sit on my fingers. But every once or so will allow me to groom her with my nose. She hates hands for some reason
I have a great tit friend that hates hands, too. He'll land on a peanut bowl I'm holding in my hand though.
크리스마스이브 잘 보내세요❤
감사합니다. 즐거운 성탄절 보내세요!🎄
와 ㅋㅋ 영지버섯 엄청 거대해요 ㅋㅋㅋ 무슨 다람쥐들의 발판처럼 커 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
그래도 예전에 비하면 많이 다가와 주었어요 제이에 이어 죠도 마음을 열 날이 곧 올거라 믿어요 츄츄님 톰님 즐겁고 복된 성탄절🎄 되시길 바래요^^내년에도 즐겁고 행복한 이야기들 기대할게요
메리 크리스마스! 🎄 내년에도 즐거운 이야기들 기대해 주세요.😊
추추가족분들 메리크리스마스~❤❤❤
톰아저씨😂 너무 귀여우신거 아니예요? 언젠가는 손에있는 땅콩가져가길🙏

톰과 제이
☺😄
11월에도 떠나지않쿠~완전텃세가될려나!!!
둘이 포옹하거니 븥아잇는채로 시도하면 인전하게여길ㄷ,ㅅ
이젠 제이가 밀웜도 곧잘 먹네요ㅎㅎ 예전 영상에선 그래도 우선순위가 땅콩보다 좀 밀리는 느낌이었는데 이젠 밀웜 먼저 먹는군요ㅎㅎ
😊 맞아요! 제이가 이젠 밀웜도 즐겨 먹는답니다. 😄
행복한 크리스마스 맞이하세요.❤
메리크리스마스🎄🎁❤️❤️
즐거운 성탄절 보내세요🤗😊🥰
메리크리스마스 🎄
잘보내세요
햐 캐나다는 땅이 넓어서 그런지
영지버섯이 엄청 크네요!
흰눈 내리고 하얀 숲속에 사슴이 아기데리고 나타겠죠. 산타와 같이 왔으면 좋겠어요.
😊❄️☃️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
🥰😊💕
🐦🕊🪶

우와 광택 좋은 영지버섯!!
블루제이는 땅콩이랑 밀웜을 좋아하네요..
톰님 오랜만이에요.ㅎㅎㅎ 영상요.
😊 감사합니다!
행복한~성탄절되세요
우리도 고질라나 용가리가 초콜렛 준다고 함부로 다가가진 않겠지?
😆
행복한 크리스마스를 보내세요!😊😊😊
새 아가도 사랑만 받으면서 행복하게 지내!❤❤❤
감사합니다🙏😊 즐거운 성탄절 보내세요🎄
야생 버섯은 비슷하게 생긴게 많으니 주의가 필요..!
무지개 까지..이게 현실 풍경인가...
예전부터 건방진 블루제이 보면서 생각한건데요. 블루제이가 배가 부른듯...3일정도 굶기고 땅콩 주면 안될까요? 추추님 톰님 크리스마스 이브네요~ 메리크리스마스^^
제이 죠 마음이 편해지면 올거라 믿어요. 즐거운 성탄절 보내시고 건강하세요 🥰💕
귀엽네요
🥰🤗💕
손위에 밀웜이면 조가 벋아먹지않을까요? 밀웜을 제일 좋아하는 조에게요.
Happy Holyday 입니다.
과연 먼저 제이와 죠의 선택을 받는것은 츄츄님인가 톰님인가
저정도도 엄청 가까워진듯...
❤
