    My cat loved your videos. He got really sick and could no longer sit in the window to watch real birds. We watched a whole bunch of your videos together the night before he died, and I could tell how engaged he was, even though he didn't have much strength. Thanks for helping me create some last little pleasures for him.

    The past few years I have missed seeing these lovely creatures and missing their voices as well. You have brought back these delights in one hour of watching. I cannot believe how many I have forgotten. I join in the sorrow of losing so many in such a short time. At ninety years of age I must admit MY younger years I spent time watching the different breeds wherever I was at the time but most times as they were plentiful I would take them for granted and listen only to their happy songs. I have always tried in more recent years to put food and water out for them without guidance from anyone as I never met any bird watchers.I hope to stay around and enjoy what you observe and hear and if I find ways to help I will. A difficult chore as most people around me try to kill anything that they think is harmful to their way of life particularly the farmers.

      I live in NC and have recently taken an interest in birds, I installed a feeder outside my kitchen window, had to get a seed catcher because I didn't realize birds could be so picky about birdseed, and so messy! I'll have to try some hulled birdseed. Lately the squirrels have been a nuisance, sent away for a squirrel baffle to keep them away, hope it works. But I love watching the birds at my feeder--cardinals, titmice and chickadees predominate, followed by house finches, goldfinches, bluebirds, little brown birds I can't identify--possibly Carolina wrens--and a red-bellied woodpecker (I call him Woody) drops by once in a while, causing the other birds to scatter. Woody just pecks away, flinging the seeds he doesn't like over his shoulder. The titmice & chickadees fly up, grab something they like, then fly away to it eat. The cardinals & brown birds hang around. I especially love the cardinals, they're so colorful. I hear robins & blue jays nearby, but I never see them & they never come by the feeder. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be interested in identifying birds by sight & sound, but it's really fun!

      I listened to mourning doves for years on end, never knowing the bird.
      We heard it when we went camping, especially. Walks to the bathroom in the mourning, it’s comfortably cool, and you hear that dove’s call.
      My sister asked me about the call a couple months ago, but she couldn’t mimic it. We listened for about 20 minutes before we heard it and she told me “That one. Remember it?” and it brought back every memory.
      I spent the next two hours that morning, trying to find what bird it was. A sound I hardly ever noticed, and now it catches my full attention.
      Turns out, a lot of them live in and around the very small city in which I attend school.
      So I’ll be in spanish, and the windows are open, I’ll hear it call

    In the past two or three months I've been watching a lot of birding videos mostly because of my cat. So I've watched many videos from many different channels but I will say without a doubt, undisputed your videos and your channel are the best! They are the cream of the crop! I've seen your video by the way over a year ago which I thought was the most interesting video on birds I'd ever seen which was the birds bathing in a little mountain stream like or Forest Stream I forget the exact name of it but it was very very much viewed by your viewers. And in this video when it got to the part of the Cardinals which are my favorite backyard birds by the way feeding their young that's when I hit the subscribe button! Not only that I love how you name the birds because that kind of information is pretty rare and you do it on screen which is much better than just listing them like some others do. Thank you for these wonderful videos and all of the work that you do! 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️ Just noticed my second comment from 2 years ago below. That's absolute proof that I love your work!😁

    Thoroughly enjoyed, get outside and experience these birds and others comforts that nature provides for free. Grew up in New England woods and settled in the inland hills of San Diego; now in Arizona mountains. So much enjoyment to see different pieces of nature just walking in the woods.

    This is so very nostalgic for me. I go up to Ohio to see my grandparents and I get woke up by 10 distinct birds. It’s a small yellow one with some black crows and the northern cardinal ( that’s my favorite bird ) and I I get woke up at like 6:00am so I just sit up and listen for 20 minutes and then I go downstairs and talk with my mom and grandparents it’s so nice and I love every moment. I only get to go 1 time per year but boy do I love it. We go out side and my grandpa make a cheese board. And we sit out side and just relax and listen to birds. It’s so relaxing and beautiful it’s so green and going to giant eagle is always fun haha 😂

    I am always hopeful when I read the comments, that some people appreciate the work of others when it comes to the sight and sounds of birds...back in the day, we used to wish that such things were available for our clients that were not able to appreciate some of the small wonders! We have so many beautiful birds right here in our own backyards, bird sounds, that just become second nature to us that many do not appreciate. If we would only listen, and appreciate the small things that could give us inner joy! Working in social services, I worked with a lot of people that felt that the world owed them...they were bitter and felt that Joe should buy them a cup of coffee, but they would never buy Joe a cup...I would say, "just sit back and enjoy"! Stay calm and enjoy! Thank you for this video!
