Thanks for watching!
Just wanted to let you know man I’m proud of you and your family and all the progress you’ve done all through the years keep it up man.
Yeah
Your pond is amazing … it really was profound, listening to the workers talk about how they planned out the pond in terms of each of the animals and what they would need and then they put the rocks accordingly big and small so that that particular animal could utilize your Pea Foul the best. I love the gentleman who said his favorite part of the pond was your children😊♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ that was remarkable for him to say because a lot of grown-ups tend to say “you’re in our way”
Or talk to the children about how dangerous the rocks can be especially if they get wet feet, etc. but instead they embraced the excitement of the children and allow them to be a part of the water progress and even the rock progress.❣️❣️ these children avoided a very long time for this pond to be built in now they get to play in it too!
I can’t wait till you have the netting over the entire aviary in the birds are allowed to come in and experience the pond themselves. Thank you to the different contractors that you hired to build this wonderful , wonderful pond.❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you, we appreciate it!
Eli should get a special surprise for all of his hard work. He is such a good boy. You can tell he's enjoying building his new duck pond. Tell him that I noticed how much work he's done. It looks great, pal!
Pigpen is the Charlie Brown character permanently surrounded by a cloud of dust. LOVE the pond!
And good on Jake who made the time to recognise Artemis hardwork. Amazing.
It looks amazing. I can't wait to see the birds enjoying it as much as the children are.
What a TEAM effort 👏🏻
Welcome to “Living the Aquascape Lifestyle!” 👊
I truly love how you can tell each person truly loves the role they played into making that pond come to life.
Absolutly beautiful creation of naturescape. I agree, that tree was GOLD. I'm sure that Aquascape and the local contractors will be proud to show your aviary in their portfolio. Especially after 1 year, of habitation by your birds & the plants that survive the flocks, LOL. I heard somewhere that your aviary is the largest privatly owned space in the USA. How awesome to have a pond to share that spotlight. And to think...it all started with hatching a few eggs years ago! An example for all, for following your dreams.
I know!! It blows my mind!! I would love to visit and see it thriving with birds!! What a huge achievement. I bet they never thought, that back in the begining when they had the original rental white house on the hill that this would ever be manifested into a living!!
all this from a little white house on a hill
couldnt be more proud, all the hard work, the family expanding, and getting to see it all grow in real time.
whole lotta love from argentina jake
Congratulations on your new pond. It's excellent. I can't wait tell the birds get in. The children love it. It's fun watching the children playing in the water.
TY for bringing us, your UA-cam followers, along on this journey. I'm just thinking 14 yrs from now, Bella saying, "there always was an aviary pond". Isaiah, the 4 yo is more likely to remember the building of the aviary pond. The 4 children are having great experiences. They are learning the value of building. I hope they remember it and carry it on. Again TY for your wholesome channel.
I always love how they weren't afraid of change and accepted every challenge and showed all of us their triumphs and challenges and we're transparent. They let us in and allowed us to see the family grow, as well as their hearts and farm! Living their Dream! God is definitely looking down on them from heaven and blessing them richly. In memories and experience and family. I feel like they're long time friends. I've been here so long.
I can't wait to see the birds in the water.. They are going to be in heaven!!! It's beautiful.. Those guys did an amazing JOB!! ❤❤❤
Absolutely stunning, it brought me to tears, seeing just the pure joy, excitement and gratitude on your faces to see such a transformation of the aviary. That team of people knew exactly what they were doing, and I think they had a really good time spending time with your family and getting to know you all and just seeing how much you all love your animals and want what is best for them. The kids are truly going to have a ton of fun.
Same big ol tears of joy! 🥲🥲
So beautiful. You guys deserve a beautiful pond. You all have worked so hard. Watching the kids play in it is so awesome, their smiles made me smile. Can't wait to see your aviary done. It's all coming together beautifully 😍
Thanks so much!
A little paradise at home. Very cool 👍
Can’t wait to see the aviary completed with all the birds in it.
You must include the button quails too 😍
Since they are so small would they just go through the fence
@@victorxxxjelly1133they could put up a set of thin mesh along the bottom to to solve that
The Pond Looks AMAZING! They all did a great job. And I'm sure your flocks and Family will be enjoying this for many Years to come. ❤❤❤ Love IT!
Thanks so much!
Wow that is some pond they have built, I would love to sit there all day and listen to the water going over the falls. I cannot wait to see the birds released !!! The kids helping and then playing in the pond is so lovely and the way a childhood should be.
Your whole family are beautiful. Watching you teach your kids about nature. We need more families like yours. ❤❤❤❤
That pond is absolutely mind-blowing. W O W At the first shot of that incredible, waterfall I was having my morning chocolate nutrition shake (which I love) and I just gasped with the spoon in mid-air. I love it when the water expert broke down the different parts of the water fall and what all the parts are called and the different names for the different parts of the water flow. Fascinating. My favorite shot near the end was Bella's little baby feet gently kicking in the pond water. These guys really out-did themselves with this stunning miracle of a pond. I could tell you were a bit stunned and moved by it. And with good reason. All the birds are going to be living their very best possible lives. Even better than in the wild as they will be completely safe from any predators. The only threat would be eagles and hawks and I bet you even have a solution for that. I watch another channel that is a rescue sanctuary and they had one rescued male Ostrich who was slowly being killed by the other male Ostrich on their farm and then they recued a female Ostrich who had a knee injury and was going to be put down, and they bought 2 more females from the same farm. The make picked his favorite of the 3 and against everyone's predictions, the two birds hatched out 3 Ostrich (2 girls and a boy) right out in their Texas pasture. The male Ostrich does most of the incubation and hatching, and the owners became very concerned as the father Ostrich (Carl) became so skinny and weak. Put once the chicks were hatched, he quickly back to his feisty self. At this point, the owner does not want any more Ostrich as they need so much space and the males become really dangerous during mating season. So the owner collects all the eggs and gifts them to his friends and neighbors who use them as decor items. However, I am saying all that to say, that if he does not collect these eggs right away, eagles come down out of the sky and steal the ostrich eggs right out in broad daylight, right in front of everyone. It is amazing to see. The eggs are enormous and heavy, but the eagles have zero problems snatching the eggs. The owner woutd be mortified, but he does not want the eggs, so he lets it happen. If no eagles show up for a couple of days he collects the eggs. Yall deserve a celebration for this amazing pond. Yours is the best one I have seen like this.
You can rest assured that the birds will be safe from aerial predators (like hawks and eagles) because there will be a netting over the top of the aviary, that is why they put the fencing up so tall ( the birds will have room to fly under the protective netting)! 😉
I can't believe how emotional this has made me, I'm literally crying!! How amazing, and what a collaboration 🎉 absolutely love seeing you build and enjoy this as a family, what beautiful memories you're making xxxxx
Thank you, Alison!
Yeah! It was worth the wait. Now the birds will thrive to their potential. Thanks for sharing such a journey. Your family have had a great experience to see this to the finish line.
What a beautiful addition to your farm, loved watching the kids playing in the water and Isabella's toes grabbing the rocks ❤ I believe Eli enjoyed helping create the pond, he'll never forget that. God blessed you immensely 🙏🙏
I don't have the right words for how epic, amazing, magical this pond is. Water brings out the kid in all of us and the water pulls stress out of our systems. Congrats. I love you all.❤
That pond is AMAZING!!!! They did such a wonderful job!! Fun for the family and the birds!!
Wow! That is one amazing pond! Thank you for showing us all the steps of the project, and a big thanks to all of those men and women and their companies who made it happen!
Our pleasure!
Wow, your birds will be living a most unbelievably exotic life. Your entire family worked hard for them all.
Awesome Jake! Ive been waiting for this one! Glad we were able to help you out! The whole Team did an incredible job!
Absolutely beautiful! Such an admirable thing to do for such a wonderful family! Blessings all around!
A M A Z I N G !!! It’s so beautiful ! Thank you Lord for bringing everyone together to build this pond 🙏🏻💗
Just remind the kids eventually the rocks will be slimy and slippery, easy to fall on those rocks. Beautiful and can’t wait to see the birds enjoying it.
I cant wait for nature to put its magic on this gorgeous pond. The birds are gonna love it!
Can't wait!
Sat here watching this video in England 🇬🇧 and I have to say... the pond looks absolutely amazing, those men and yourselves put a lot of hard work into this project, can't wait to see the birds in there new home, thanks for another great video and a Big Thank You to all the people that worked on this pond and made this happen for us all to see ❤
My cheeks are sore after smiling so big watching this video! This is such an epic adventure, and it's not even done! Can't wait to see the birds move in!
Have tears of joy, the crews did a fantastic job, bless them👍👏😍💋💋💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎🚀🚀🚀🚀
Same!! 🤗🥲🥲
Now, all your pond needs is some fish! Awesome looking pond!
Wow, Audubon worthy ! Next what type of trees and plants will you have for the birds to hide in?
Ohhhhh yes Pigpen was the dusty kid !
What an amazing surprise for the family! The pond features are truly epic! ❤
The peanuts character is pig pen! 😂. They all did amazing work. The pond is beautiful. Can not wait to see the aviary completed.
Looks fabulous. Can't wait for the net roof to be added and the birds to move in. It'll be Bird Heaven for them.
It’s amazing how you take care of 4 children and a lot of animals I think they are enjoying it 😊😊
What an amazing water feature you have. Not only for your birds but also for your family. I absolutely love it!
Pigpen is a Peanut your talking about. Linus is Charlie Browns best friend who sucked his thumb and carried a blanket everywhere.
The pond looks fantastic. Can't wait to see what plants you put around it.
Then the finale. Seeing all the birds and fish enjoying their new home.
🙂🦋
The effort you put in this project is amazing. you and your family can be proud of everything you accomplished. I've been following you since bamboo hatched and i'm impressed by how big everything has become. Can't wait to see what is next!
Wow! Congratulations! You’re gonna have so much fun with it! Especially the kids :-)
Are you going to do Landscaping around it. This is beautiful. I have been with you all from the beginning you all started till now. Makes me cry because this has been your dream. Knocking one off your bucket list . Woo-Hoo!!!!
Beautiful can't wait to see all the birds in their looks brilliant
It's amazing how everything has come together to form your new duck pond I can see the kids really enjoy it and I'm sure the ducks will love it all it needs now is to put grass and flowers and plants by the pond to make it look like it has always been there and to watch the kids growing up it's all just fantastic I'm really happy for you it will look really great when it is finished it's one of those things where you can watch it or sit by it all day and never get bored it's hard to put it into words on how it makes you feel if you had a video about the pond and it's feature I would not get bored of watching it that's how it makes me feel so relaxing now I envy you because in the future you can sit by the duck pond and just watch the ducks and the surrounding area's.
I wish I could like this video 100 times. I am so happy for you and your family. Now, to just get those kids some toy boats or make some paper boats and send them down the waterfalls. ❤❤❤❤
Finally I've been waiting for 6 days for this
Love the pond, the birds are going to enjoy it immensely!
Wow, that’s incredible. This is been in the plantings for many years and the dream is finally coming. True I can’t wait for you to turn the birds out into the yard. They’re going to absolutely love the new housing they have. It’s well worth every penny. It’s one of your dreams finally come true.❤❤❤❤❤
Those chubby piggy toes💗. I am over the moon for you and your family! I feel like we're long time friends I've been around so long. God has certainly blessed you and yours. Jake and Becky and kiddos congratulations.
A bit of bird heaven come true!! I gasped with delight seeing and hearing the waterfall in that first view. Moving water is a magnet for everyone and everything. Balm for the soul and ❤ So very happy for you all. Congrats to the team's doing this monumental job. It's a great promo for them for sure. Most of all HUGE for your animals! God bless!
I just wanted to say that god bless you and your family, whose make my day better in all the ways with your videos.
You with your wife and kids help me to reconnect with the world again, far away from mobile phone noises and controversies.
The pond is amazing and the aviary is almost done.
Greetings from the old Spain.
This is one of my favourite channels, is fulfilled with work, love for family and nature.
What more can i ask for ?
Agreed 💯! True delight and much heartfelt happiness can be felt in Jake and Becky and kiddo's. So blessed to be able to share this with them.
It’s so stunning!!! 😍😍😍 this has me so excited to see the aviary finished with the birds. Great job everyone!!
I can’t express how happy it makes me to see yall grow this much. I think the first video i ever watched was a hatching video back when it was just the two boys, and yall still rented and now here you are with this gorgeous big farm, 4 beautiful kids, and a gorgeous aviary on the way. What a blessing 🥰
Jake and Becky, the aviary is absolutely amazing! I cannot wait to see the birds in there. They'll definitely be spoiled lol!
Wow...wow!!! Can't wait to see all your birds enjoy this amazing home!!!
Us too!
Congrats to you and the builders. The best of the best in our area. Liz and I will be anxiously waiting to watch your progress on putting the final touches and the addition of your birds and fish.
Thanks so much!
I have loved the videos ever since I started watching. Y’all inspired me to get chickens 4 years ago and I have been watching ever since. Keep up the great work!!!
Spectacular,they did the most wonderful job,that waterfall,you could sit all day and meditate, with that,and you guys certainly deserve all that,all the hard work, sacrifice,it certainly paid off,😁💯🌟✨🌄👏
Congratulations! I’ve been watching since 2018, when I was introduced to you-tube. I’ve been waiting for the pond! Great that you found people to support you in your dream. Slow but sure. Waiting for the net to be done and some plants in the aviary. 🎉
Wow its even better than I imagined. Well deserved family. Can't wait to see it over time with the birds fish and plants. 🎉🎉 well done to all them involved in the building of it. You guys are amazing
The pond looks amazing! I can't wait to see all the beautiful birds in the aviary!
This is so cool! Congratulations, you and your family deserve it!
😮 it looks WAY better than I envisioned it. Can't wait to see how the birds react. It's beautiful.
Looks absolutely amazing!!! The moment the tree was put in, I was thinking turtles. There's a pair of red-eared sliders in a nearby canal during the summer. It's always fun to watch them on "their" tree limb, that fell into the water a few years ago.
Wow! There are no words to express the results of this pond and it’s builders! 😍
We agree!
What a fun week! Our team had a great time collaboration with the other CACs to create this oasis for your family as well as all of your animals. We can't wait to see the aviary space finalized and all of the beautiful birds move into their new home!
You guys are amazing and no one is more deserving as this family!! Thank you for helping them make their dream come true!!!
Thanks, Gail! ☺@@gailrhodes2859
So amazing ❤
The Mandarin ducks are going to go nuts over the water. I can see them already playing.
So much more then I thought it would be...it will look amazing in a couple of months when the area grows up around it...cannot wait to see the birds enjoy it...squee❤
It’s already beautiful, I’m looking forward to the birds to move in, and the vegetation to become mature and lush. It’s be spectacular.. great job to all. Congratulations to you Jake and Becky. And kids..
Congrats on the new pond! It'll be cool to see the ducks using it, too!
Absolutely amazing. I'm so happy for all of you. The joy on all your faces as you explore and walk around and swim in it is contagious. ❤ I remember when you first started posting videos. You've come so far. Bless 🙌
Thank you!
It's really beautiful! Though the drone shot makes the aviary look a bit small.
Wow! Epic is the right word for your beautiful aviary pond! I am so very happy for you and your birds. I can't wait to see them discover their new home! I live in Topeka and was proud to see that folks from my town were involved with creating this incredible habitat.
Can’t wait to see the ducks put in! 🦆
Cant wait when birds coming in and enjoying
Lots of good luck with your new pond! Loved watching it being built. and loved the results even more. Thanks for sharing it all with us. Can't wait to see the birds in it!😻😻😻

Looks great! So happy for all of you and the critters! The kids made me smile the whole way through the video. They were all so respectful, helpful and had a great time too! I just died laughing when your son was asked how was the water and he happily said it was good, Peter peed in it and it was warm! 😂🤦😂 lol
The Peanuts character... that would have been "Pig Pen"! Take care! 💛
Gorgeous pond. I can't wait to see the ducks and birds around it! And its family fun too!
Would be amazing to have a standing dead tree placed near the pond, so mandarins have a cool high perch and maybe even natural nesting spots
Wow!! That looks so fantastic, the waterfall is brilliant
Oh I'm so excited thanks to all the teams for letting the kids get involved and doing this beautiful work epic gorgeous pond❤
I cannot wait to see it completed and all the special birds in it. You have done a wonderful job and it is absolutely beautiful! You should so proud of yourself!!!
