About Me:
My bio is pretty random: In short, I am a professional singer/songwriter from Toronto, Canada who moved to Manila, Philippines which sorta became my Hollywood because my first UA-cam channel MIKEYBUSTOSVIDEOS grew popular due to Filipino comedy videos. Meanwhile, I'm also a big biology geek who is obsessed with ants, so I built an internationally operating ant business supported by another popular channel called ANTSCANADA, and well basically, today I travel and tour around the world doing what I love so I wanted to start this vlogging channel, in hopes to encourage you guys to follow your dreams no matter how random, by showing you what happened when I followed mine! You just never know where life will take you when you listen to the yearnings of your heart!
genuinely, out of everything in your house, i was the most excited to see this aviary be done, and what a dream it is to even just see. also, being very into houseplants but being in a very cold climate means i never get to see these plants i grow at full healthy stature and form, and as always i am awed at how it looks already, i LOVE how that cissus discolor will look as it grows larger and further. the pots are a really nice touch with the bowl shaped fountain things, bringing simple geometry to such a wild place really cements it as the real core of the house that it is.
Amazing aviary, living the dreams cant wait to see the final product! One suggestion is maybe put a perch on your levels since birds are social creatures they wanna be close to you when u get inside so having a branch that they can grab onto on a human shoulder level would be good, atleast what i think haha.
Good idea 👍
Yes for sure, I will look for some nice branches to place lower.
go check dehakims aviary, he has a huge aviary with beautiful view
Congrats!!! Ligaya’s aviary is a reality! Thank you for sharing the plant details. Ate June’s expertise and that of her team along with your eye for creating an aesthetically beautiful and nourishing home for your new bird family is both fascinating and touching to behold. Bountiful blessings for all creatures Great and small! Can’t wait for the birds to move in….staying tuned. 🦜🌳⛲️🥰🙏🏽♥️
Your positivity willed your aviary into being! You created it with your heart and soul! So beautiful! You’ve worked so hard your whole life, this is the fruition! I can’t wait to see the birds in their new home. Thank you for allowing us to be part of the journey! Luv. Frances
The aviary is Über Epic! Love the driftwood too, it's just all so romantic!
Amazing moments Mikey!! Ligaya is with you every step of the way!!
OMG, HOLY COW!!! I'm totally gobsmacked at how georgous this is!! Every single piece of this including the surrounding fixtures all compliment each other and, the effect is incredible!! I can imagine how incredibly joyful you are with this... seeing someone's dream come true is so amazing, thank you for sharing this!! I find tons of inspiration in this... CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I'm excited to see the birds enter into this new environment... I hope they love it.
I agree with you, maybe a couple of park-style benches to sit and enjoy (maybe even interact with) the birds. WOW, just the thought of that makes my heart feel so peaceful... WELL DONE!
Ya'll stay safe and healthy!! I'll see 'ya next time!
OMG! Thank you, Richard!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I hope the kiddos like it!
i'll gladly offer my little stool to be placed in the aviary then I'll sit on it with a cup in hand and go enjoy such a beautiful pocket of lush greenery you and the team created. amazing job Mikey and RJ! the home keeps looking more and more incredible 😃
This vlog was not long at all! I could watch hours of this aviary build. Excited for more to come!
I'm so invested in seeing this aviary bird release tomorrow !! :) can't wait! So happy these birds have you & RJ!
So happy for you. Your dream had come true. The aviary looks so cool. Can't wait to see the birds enjoying it
On your family I don't know why your family is just down to earth and that's what family should be
So nice!! Imagine it raining, your sipping some tea and just looking at this courtyard.
So gorgeous and I am so happy for the realization of this gorgeous dream. 🐦 One quick question - have you considered building an intermediate middle narrow screened room/chamber (I'm sure that there's a name) so that when people enter/exit the gorgeous aviary, there is no possibility of your beautiful birds escaping into the house or outside if your front/back doors are open? No doubt you've seen them in zoos, butterfly garden displays, etc. One would leave the large atrium area and walk into little enclosed area and close door behind. CHECK TO MAKE SURE NO BIRDIE HITCHHIKERS HAVE JOINED YOU. YOU. Once knowing the birdies are where they belong, THEN walk from little enclosed area back into the home. No doubt you will have many people coming and going into your beautiful new home, and this is one way to protect your wee feathered friends.
I have had birds fly around in the home, and it can be scary and potentially dangerous for both the beautiful birdies and for you two!!
Just a thought, and I KNOW that you can make it elegant.
Again, congratulations!
Really enjoyed today's blog! super inspiring to see the dream home coming together one piece at a time!
Yes I like the idea of having some seating in the Avery. I was going to say how about a couple garden benches. So we were thinking along the same lines. Good deal, Gloria 🐂
The aviary looks stunning, like that the large main plants have such different textures and color so theres more dimension and not just a blob of the same all over. The maidenhair fern is such a gorgeous plant, and I hope it thrives in the aviary, the roots don't need a lot of space if humidity is high enough so it might be possible to place some on the walls.
The chair you plan yo place so you can watch the bords from outside the aviary was stunning! Hope you also place a little bench or chair so people can sit in there to relax and enjoy just being surrounded by the birds.
The aviary looks stunning! Can't wait to see it fully finished, with the birds moved in. Thanks for sharing!
I have two small parrots, and me and my partner are trying to turn our backyard into a giant aviary... You guys are such an inspiration! Love this aviary!!!
It looks absolutely incredible. What a vision! I want something like this inside my home!
The plants have transformed the aviary and it is stunning!!
super super stunning. can't wait to see your happy birds living free.
Finally, I been waiting for this to be completed. I always love your design for terrarium for ants Canada. Its so beautiful!!!
Watching it start from zero to now is crazy. Seeing all the plants in there is wild to me ! the birds are gonna love it in there !
Congratulations....it so lovely. And ur excitement is contagious
Plants in your house bring love and prosperity to your dwelling always have love when plants are in the house
Your aviary is such goals! All the plants you picked look beautiful together and I can’t wait to see how lush it’ll be!
from Hong Kong here, love your personality and how you see something positive in every situation, that is a talent. super excited for your birds to move in. please show us more of the the dogs too, my dog just passed away in may, not going to keep another one, but appreciate to see others with theirs.
Aw I'm sorry to hear about your dog. Condolences! ❤️🙏
I couldn’t be any happier for you guys. The house is looking absolutely beautiful and finally finishing up!
More driftwoods! or boulders as benches. anyhow, it looks amazing!
Beautiful!! Cant wait to see the birds roaming around! I hope you feature thr weaver ants inside the aviary in the Ants Canada chanel! 💜
Super duper nice! It’s look a tourist place botanical garden! Very good job!
Been waiting for this vlog! Your vlog is my breakfast, Mikey! I’m most excited to see your aviary and it’s all coming together yay!! 👏🏻😀😍
Incredible this project
I have no words
So beautiful! Can’t wait to see the finish aviary tomorrow :)
Okay, so jelly!!!! You need to put a chair or lounge in the aviary so people can sit in with the birds!!❤❤❤
Wow ...I love the aviary so much!..I can't wait to see the birds inside..good job to both of u.!keep it up.🙃
Mikey and RJ, you deserve all of these!!! We, the "ORIG" members of the Mabuhay Squad are genuinely happy for both of you!!! LIGAYA is smiling proudly in heaven, knowing that the home that was originally built for her is now a PARADISE for her avian brothers and sisters!!! Happy tears here! 🥰🦜🐦🕊
Yes!!! I’m sure you’re right…
🙌🙌🙌
Richard, you're a huge part of the Mabuhay Squad too! You're a beautiful human being.
The aviary is Just Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!
Birds will probably love it! What a dream aviary so so so awesome 👏 ❤️
The aviary is absolutely gorgeous! It really adds to the home.
The aviary looks great. I remember on of my dad's friend had a courtyard with hanging orchids. it was beautiful. I wonder, though, if you need to move the yucca pot off the drain cover, in case it needs maintenance in the future.
Wow Mikey I can't wait to see your birds flying free and happy in your forest indoor. Lucky birds. They are so beautiful! And your house is massive!
I was so excited to see the tree in the aviary - your dream realised at last! It looks amazing with all the plants in
This is the best Aviary set up..love the talisay, lemon and yucca trees.looks perfect in the Aviary.. there are plenty of plants but doesnt look crowded..your idea of putting some chairs inside is wonderful..hope youbring this set up back to your present aviary now that the sone birds do not destroy the plants
When it's time to name the aviary, Ligaya's name has to be in it. It looks great. And as a bonus, you have Ants Canada content!
Yes, but I'm starting to rethink keeping the weaver ants in there. I may cut them out because they may over run the tree! 😥 Plus, I'm starting to change my mind and think they may hurt my birds.
@@MikeyBustosVLOGS I was wondering this and wondering if your birds would eat the ants??
We can feature an episode in ants canada when you re home the ant weavers from one tree to another.
@@MikeyBustosVLOGS Mikey, how about introducing a regulating species, like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-bearded_bee-eater ? They would also avoid dealing with wasp or bee nests.
@@MikeyBustosVLOGS If you can cut the branch that the nest is on without destroying the nest, you will have a well-established weaver colony that you can relocate. But I understand your thoughts. The safety of the birds comes first.
Wow it's like you're building a world within another world within another world!!! 🇺🇲🇵🇭🇨🇦👍🏻😷👍🏿
Dream come true! The aviary looks magnificent 😍 esp. With all the birds in there flying freely ❤️ so beautiful congratulations Mikey!
OMG!!!! Soooo cool!!! Excited for you! It looks fantastic to start. A beautiful start to a magic aviary! What a great bonus weaver ant colony!! This is just mind blowing! Absolutely Stunning!!!! My heart was pounding with joy!
Love watching the Aviary come to life... Seeing green is so refreshing!!! 😍💚😍💚😍💚
It does love from you and RG to the world when they come to your home
Mikey i love love love the set up specially the hanging ferns 😍😍😍. Maybe you could coumoflage the grey pots to make it look like a part of the wall. Im soooooo sooo excited for the birds to move in.. Its like im living my dream house thru your channel.
It's ok 👍! I enjoyed it, and seeing you guys putting the aviary together and taking us to plant shopping. Long vlog is enjoyable.
Beautiful. I'm sure the birds will love it!
Mikey, the aviary is awesome. I'm sure they will love their new home.
I am glad you're on what age welcome from Jamaica
For sure, they’re loving it 🙌🙂
absolutely beautiful!!. you might be interested in putting a coating of "rainex" or something similar. it has a sleeping effect so the rain will sleet down the glass minimizing rain spots. I have it on my shower doors and the water runs off with no residual water marks.
Beautiful Aviary! Everything looks perfect and amazing. The birds will love it!! Been watching your channel since the beginning of the construction of your home. Life has changed since and I see you less stressed and happy. RJ is so hands on in your home. RJ spoils you esp when you travel, I see he takes care of what you wear and packs for you, is that right?
Good evening once again Mikey, and welcome back once again! Ah yeah, the big day of the final stages of the aviary has come, and I definitely can't wait to see the birds in the natural Philippine sunshine and get bathed in natural rainwater! Oh, and with the first of the plants installed in the aviary, they definitely make this aviary look green and beautiful, and even starting to look like a real aviary!
🙌🙌🙌
When this house is finishing the oven it's going to be a showpiece beautiful beautiful
I like the idea of releasing all of the birds same time. I wonder if they will be territorial. This is so Exciting!
I'm so happy for you guys and the birds! I'm also eager for Rizal and Brittany to move into the big jouse! It's really cool that there's a weaver ant nest.
Wow that’s amazing love all of it, I can’t wait for the birds to move
Love to live that kind of small paradise.. Great ideas to look something green surrounded your house.
Salute to you Sir.. Hope to see you in person..
Hi, finally ! After so much time and efforts ! Good job. It's amazing ! You could also add nice orchids. It is not toxic for birds. Can't wait to see birds inside !
I definitely would like to try adding orchids to the avairy! They are actually nutritious if eaten!
That s awesome!!! Love it! Excited to see the fully finished aviary with all the birds in. ❤❤❤
So happy for you both the avery looks great I do think some more purches can go in. Xx love from uk
The aviary is the Birds’ haven!👏👏👏♥️
Ohhhh Mikey!!! It looks sooo GREAT!!! I’m so happy for you. It’s finally coming together and looks awesome. It’s perfect! Oh I can’t wait to see the birds in there.
🐜🍎🐶🦜💞
This aviary is one of my dreams too. Loved watching it come together. The plants, the ants, the birds all in one place? Amazing! I used to raise canary and society finch and cockatiels in a large aviary. Everyone got along very well until I added a love bird. Be careful with the hook bills that you add with passerine(passeriformes - straight billed birds). That love bird killed one of the canary and snapped another’s leg in half. Can’t wait to,see your birds investigate the aviary. ❤️
Moss + clay + dirt + water. Make a rough smoothie, and paint it. You will make moss grow, where you want it.
So Impressed with the outcome...Best bird dad's ever!
Omgoodness from a cold bare box, to a green glorious beautiful dream come true😍 I love all the choices but my favorites r the ferns, I would even hang a few more even higher-up the draping effect is beautiful, I also love the rubber tree😍 I don't think it's overcrowded at all it looks like a established "old garden. It's truly well thought out show piece, it's amazing to see ur hard work n another dream come true. The birdies r gonna love it💖 Also I love the pots showing😉💞
I'm still on the floor when is the birds going to go in to Terry's taking my heart 💜
Ah so this is how it looks like with all the plants in place. And yeah I think the parrots will know to avoid the Weaver Ants; the mango tree growing in our yard has a resident colony of Weaver Ants, and the Asian Glossy Starlings know to perch on branches and twigs away from their nest. If I am not mistaken, Asian Weaver ants won't attack intruders immediately, right? Because I noticed that the resident Asian Weaver Ant colony on our mango tree will take up a defensive stance first whenever they sense a threat , especially when I approach a line of them going up the tree. If I may give a suggestion, I think a few large rocks and some driftwoodnaround the pots might look good in there in my opinion,as it serves to detract attention away from the pots and into the rocks and the wood instead, creating a more naturalistic look.
Outstanding Aviary 😍 nature inside your house 😍 your birds living their dreams 👌I suggest get rid of the ants not safe for nesting although birds eat ants outdoor precautions is better ..
Amaaazzziiing.. the aviary looks perfect!!! Sooo pretty 😍
Congratulations! All your years of planning and dreaming are finally coming true. That Aviary is a small bit of paradise in your beautiful home
Wow it looks so great with the foliage in there!!! I knew it was going to be pretty but it is SO much cooler than I expected! I like seeing the pots IN the aviary and the idea of the new tree in your living room. Whatever you do will look good I’m sure but the idea of making the house and the aviary mesh together. Looking forward to the video tomorrow!
Hello I'm enjoying this morning's blog I'm having coffee and my heart is jittery
Enjoyed watching the progress of the aviary. It realy came out nice. Watching from Vegas and Atlanta.I am a Canadian Filipino living in Atlanta.
ang ganda! superb👍 amazing 👏
OMG the aviary looks insane!! Soooooo pretty!! Can't wait to see the birds enjoy al the space and nature
Like I am eating garden very beautiful oh I'm on the floor still rolling off the beauty
I’ve seen your journey at youtube and building your house. I SUPER LOVE IT!
Its so beautiful. Cant wait till the birds move in.

Beautiful landscaping for the birds place 😍😉
I am so in love with the aviary, It is so beautiful, Good job.
Finally The Aviary Is Finally Getting Decorated 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 #MabuhaySquad
It’s all gorgeous! Can’t wait to see how the birds react to the aviary. 😁 I expect to see the aviary’s weaver ants featured in an AntsCanada video very soon. 😊🤣. I love seeing your dream come true - congratulations! 🥰😍❤️
Yeahey! Finally I see greens! Its like a terrarium in a bigger scale.
I have been waiting for this day for SOOO long!! 💗💗 I love money trees too, RJ! All the plants look really great - and you got a free new colony! 😁
omg...aviary is so cool...im starting to envy your inside house garden..😁
Wow, the aviary looks so good! I'm loving it! Can you imagine how boring and bare your aviary would have looked with the dead tree that you originally wanted.
I know!!! True! A dead tree that would be a termite infestation magnet! 🤣 This is so much better!
this is my favourite vlog you've made mikey!!! seeing you put together this incredible aviary was such an experience and I can't wait for you to let the birds in! Will you be adding any other animals into the aviary? any reptiles perhaps? (that wouldn't be a danger to the birds of course)
Wow! Simply awesome 💯👍! That aviary is truly the centerpiece of the mabuhay squad farm! Congratulations 🎉👏 on such a brilliant concept! The greeneries wl bring in cool 😎 air in the hot months.
Half an hour breakfast for the both of us very good breakfast healthy breakfast
Beautiful plants, excellent selections...so much better than the first thought of a dead tree.
In the morning here to try out the sprinkler system like all you have is the plants now 🐆🎥🌹🎬
This aviary vlog made my day…..Love everything about it
Well I must say looking into the Aviary through those front doors looks pretty good and relaxing so great job and the finish line is becoming much closer 🇨🇦👍
Agreed! 🙌🙌
