New homeowners, “Why are all these birds tapping on our window?”
That's hilarious !!! Thanks for the laugh !
Nevermore
@@kjulietraven Crows are awesome. You just better not run out of food for them. They get feisty.
Wow
I hope she left them a note so they can carry on the magic of having these beautiful friends
I’m 70. When I was about 10 y/o, I was eating sunflower seeds, sitting on the grass under our backyard tree. This blue jay was in the tree watching me. He began hopping closer down the tree until he was on the lowest limb…about 8-10’ above me. I laughed and jokingly teased him with a few sunflower seeds on my open hand, raising my hand up to him. To my surprise, he swooped down and, without landing, took a seed. Maybe more, I dunno..but definitely took at least one seed out of my hand and immediately flew back to the lowest limb. I’d never been so stunned in my life and ran off screaming out this miracle to whomever would listen.
WHEN I WAS 14 ... I WALKED THROUGH A NEIGHBOR'S BACKYARD WITH A BIRD FEEDER .... SAW THERE WERE A FEW BIRDS THERE AND WALKED OVER SLOWLY ... GOT ABOUT 5 FEET FROM THE FEEDER AND STOPPED AND WATCHED THEM .... I PUT MY INDEX FINGER OUT (NOT OPEN HAND) AND THE DAMN BIRD CAME RIGHT OVER AND PERCHED ON MY FINGER AND TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO SAY HELLO ... THAT WAS THE HIGHEST PRAISE I HAD EVER BEEN GIVEN !!!!
WOULD ALSO FEED ROBINS BIRD SEED RIGHT OUT OF MY HAD ...AND SQUIRRELS PEANUTS OUT OF MY HAND ...
STANDING RULE WHEN YOU MEET A NEW FRIEND WITH FEATHERS OR FUR IS .... GIVE THEM WATER AND FOOD ... MAKE SURE IT'S VERY PURE WATER !!!!
Growing up we had 4 bird feeders in the backyard...my Mother and Father wld have breakfast and talk about them.
So lucky! I hope i can have a story like you one day
Nice story :)
I wish you were 10 again.
My Papa raised doves for three decades. When he found out he was dying, he released them all. He kept feeding them and they kept on living nearby. After he died, I started feeding them. The doves and, by then, their grandchildren and great grandchildren stayed to nest nearby. I fed them until I left home and went off to college to remain distracted. Four years later, I moved back home while looking for work. I'll be damned if some of those morning doves didn't come right to me the first morning I went outside with two pocketsful of Planters Peanuts. It was amazing.
my neighbor shoot any dove that come to his house. He do it for fun, and to make it worse He shoot it in front of childrens. I remember the first time I saw it when I am 5.
That's such a beautiful story...God Bless 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
@@lilyanne2676 that’s terrible, I always make a point of checking for birds and deer on the range before I shoot!
Peanuts are not good for birds. Raw nuts are better. Still not their natural diet. Many peanuts are genetically modified as well.
must have felt just amazing
When you have earned an animal's trust, that is the ultimate prize in the natural world🥰
Same with the pigeons at the backyard behind our home 😅 They're so cute and smart 😍 I feed them from the kitchen's window, so sometimes I sleep late on feeding them, they figured out where our bedroom is and they come to tap the window and wake me up 😂
That's GODLY
@@sabrinaandhusband7791 That is BEAUTIFUL!🥰
@@moremath3378 Indeed, it is!🤗
And than after all that trustbuilding break it by moving away.
I have a friend that has had a blue jay in her house for 17 years now...he can't be in the wild, since he's never been. He has quite the personality. He likes who he likes and will even attack the phone if he hears the voice of someone he doesn't like lol.
Lol. I think they live for 20+ years.
Hi Angela Angelo's pizzeria menu
But they can be in the wild their instinct are wired in them
That’s amazing
@@betzy7560 Instincts are indeed "wired" in, but what they learn from parents is as important or more so to survival, and hard if not impossible for humans to teach or guide. I might try to introduce a young bird to a flock hoping they'd adopt and teach ... Blue jays are much like crows.
This isn't surprising Blue jays are related to Crows and Ravens and are really smart birds
SAW A VIDEO RECENTLY WHERE A CROW WAS IN A ROAD PECKING AT SOME SMALL ANIMAL TO GET IT OUT OF THE ROAD !!!!
@@jimmeyer7632 im sorry to disappoint but it was trying to eat it
@@Morning_Dewdrop sorry to disappoint but you’re wrong. You obviously haven’t seen the video.
Crows, unlike their Raven relatives, lack the beak to break open skin. They do eat meat, if it’s already been “opened” (like roadkill or another animals’ kill) but if the animal is intact, they eat the soft bits. This is why crows hung around gallows and gibbet cages- they’d eat the eyes. If the animal was alive and too big to swallow in one bite, I don’t think it would’ve bothered to try to eat something it can’t.
Jays are *corvids,* along with crows, ravens, jackdaws, magpies, etc. All corvids are unusually intelligent and social.
This takes me back to my High School days when I would sit out on the balcony doing my homework and feeding the Squirrels. All told, by the time I graduated HS there were over a dozen squirrels who would be waiting at the sliding door in the mornings and waiting on me to get off the bus after school. While sitting at the bus stop just outside my door, the other kids started walking to my house so they could feed them as well. Then one day, while doing my homework a Blue Jay landed on the railing, eyeballing the peanuts and me like....Hey Dude...can ya help a feathered friend out? This was my Junior year and I know the pecking on the glass alarm very well. Harvey and Mabel were the first two, then others followed. My neighbors all started spending more time out doors so they too could hand feed the wildlife. The saddest day was when I shipped off to the Navy after High School. When I returned home, my Mother had continued feeding the wildlife and Chipper, the first squirrel to eat from my hand was so visibly excited it was like she was about to climb right out of her fur. So heartwarming to have been remembered by that little tree rat lol. That's my story. Thanks to all who read it and thanks to The Dodo for this walk down memory lane. Zip~
That's an awesome story. I cared for some orphaned squirrels once. They came to us for help. It was amazing.
😍❤❤❤🌈🐦
Wow. So it wasn't just the feeding, Chipper was excited to see you. That's pretty cool.
@@TheMrTslab It was so heartwarming. Chipper was a Female and she had a couple litters in the void between my ceiling and the third floor apartment floor and she would climb down from the rain gutter and scratch on my window so I would open it so she could help herself to the peanuts I always had on the window sill. When the babies were old enough she would introduce them to me. She was a character with her own very sweet personality. Sometimes she would come lay in my lap while I studied and sun herself while I fed the other critters. Good Memories! Thanks for reading my story!
What a wonderful story of Chipper and others you made friends with. Thank you. Great memories to carry through life.
I showed my wife this video and she's freaking out with joy. She's going to be standing in our backyard for the rest of her life with handful of peanuts and sunflower seeds. And I know she'll never give up so it's just a matter of time.
I love this ! Me too ! 🤣😆💙 Birds are awesome. I wish her the best of luck give it 37 days lol
How is her project going?
Check out "Leslie the Bird Nerd" -youtube.
So she moved and let those birds starve and now starts feeding new birds bet she moves again and let those new birds starve too
@@ianarmstrong9594 wild birds do not starve if not given treats from humans lol. They know how to forage by themselves. Maybe you need to think before making ridiculous comments such as this!
Crows will actually tell each other who is a friend and who is not.
Funnily enough, blue jays are in the same family as crows! Corvids :)
There's a great PBS special about crows and facial recognition.
I love the crows, I actually have their sound as I make my call to them, they are amazing and curious birds.🗣🐦❤
@@Chrisicola I saw that!
@@Chrisicola Yes I saw that too,it was quite informative & amazing as well!!!
This lady is a Disney Princess...all she needs now is for the birds to sing in perfect harmony with her!
The blue jays at my house are jerks
Blue jays are assholes to other birds in my backyard
...but not in a Shrek 1-way!!
@@bgslegendz67cat6 you would miss them if they were gone if your not a narc
@@sundial6919 I wouldnt they are bastards and drive the birds away!
I have a bond with my local great blue heron. He follows me home. Knows his name. He sits next to me on the lake just catching sun. There’s really nothing like it. To have a bond with a wild animal. This video warmed my heart.
Ahh teach me your ways! I have a great blue heron on/near my lake. He just made an appearance again today when the egrets came. It was quite the sight. They’re so beautiful. I’d love to befriend them 😍
@@LD-kk6gh feed the fish. I get a bag of pond fish food at wal mart. Once he sees you feeding the fish if you are consistent he will get closer and closer. We now have 5 local ones. Wesley the original still gets side by side but the others are warming up too! Once they see that easy meal they’ll warm up.
@@kellypumpkin9130 that’s awesome
It’s completely understandable how she feels about birds and how they make her feel. Birds are miracles on wings
I feel sad for the birds that miss her. They probably mourned for a long time for her.
❤️
Yes this is very sad....😔😔
@Ultramarine Ice Queen no, birds are resourceful
Maybe we can contact her and ask to tell the new owner of the house to continue feeding the bird
@@lilyanne2676 They are opportunistic feeders. They probably have a hundred spots to get food from. It knows what to do. It's a wild bird, not a domesticated cat.
@Ultramarine Ice Queen no they didn’t, she said the blue jay stopped coming for a whole winter, birds know how to get their food
Interesting fact: Blue Jays are corvids, making them closely related to crows and ravens. Unlike them, they tend to eat nuts and insects. They all share a distinctive intelligence and are opportunistic.
I have a small flock of blue Jays that wait for me in morning for shelled peanuts,they are vocal and excited to see me,i love that
The crows in my neighborhood steal food from my neighbor's cat dish. the cat does NOT like them. I feed them kibble which they seem to really like a lot.
Ooooh. Interesting. How is this not known to me? 😠
So lucky u got blue jays there!
@@xxx.118 k thanks. I was referring to them being corvids which I thought were just crows and ravens.
So very cool!
I love the shot where the Jay comes in to land, opening wings like a parachute-landing lunar module.
Blue jays are very smart, not to mention beautiful and fascinating. That is one lucky woman.
You just taught many of us that the possibility is there to have bird friends wherever you go. Thanks for sharing your story now we know how it's done very beautiful. I'll remember you as the bird whisperer !
And not have to keep them in captivity to be their friend.
I love how she gained their trust and created a bond; all the while allowing them to be free the way they where meant to be. I love birds and it breaks my heart seeing them in cages.
Yes me too! I have captive bred male canaries for companions and they have the Royal treatment and want for nothing they are my life and my Achilles heel I love them so :-)
Yes i also...i have a ringneck parrot of 11 years..i train her to fly to sky...she is freefly and always come back to me...i love birds...if any bird need my help i rescue them and when they be able to servive in wild i release them to live happy life in wild.
@@atheistsince1210 i have a ringneck female parrot...i love her alot and she loves me too...she flies to sky everyday and come back to me....she chooses me over living in wild 😊⭐
Once you befriend wild birds, you'll always wonder why people put them in cages. To get introduced to each years young ones, who then learn that you can be trusted.... So special.
I like the company of birds but I refuse to cage them. There are plenty running around wild. In general, I find the best way to relate to the wild animals is to feed them.
I love this so much! I’m a also a bird person. Most people just don’t realize how special and beautiful they are. Enjoy every minute! ❤
Fun fact, Jays and Chickadees are some of the smartest birds with the highest cognitive abilities. Corvids including Jays have even been known to solve puzzles and use tools to obtain food. A chickadee will stash thousands of bits of food each year and remember where almost every piece is stashed. Chickadees even adjust how much they stash based on how hard the winter to come is going to be.
Didn't know this about chickadees, thanks!
Love the slow mo shots of the chickadees, they look like little peanut-seeking missiles lol. Sweet birds ❤
They're so fearless. Two families each summer nest in my...bluebird box. Love watching the parents feed them, the fledglings learning to fly.
I thought the same thing. *flap, flap*
This doesn’t surprise me about the chickadees. I used to have one that would watch me though my bathroom window while I put on makeup. It was so curious and adorable!
Hi pretty how are you? Hope you are fine and safe
Creep anyone out with those lines?
Hello
"Here we have a human in it's natural habitat..."
@@jmcdermid That’s what I always imagined they were thinking. lol!
"Follow me, I know a princess who will feed us all!"
Animals have the ability to know if a person is of good character, Clearly your are good person which is why the birds trust you! Your awesome and it was beautiful thing to watch.
That slo-mo was great and the tapping was hilarious... “Hello, are you there?” 🤷🏽♀️
IKR! ☺️ It’s like the regulars who come to a small-town diner waiting for their favorite waitress who’s also the owner and spots ‘em coffee every mornin 😁
Animals bring so much joy into our lives. Food often helps to initiate the bond. But it quickly becomes apparent that they enjoy our company as much as we do theirs.
SO VERY TRUE !!!!!
Yep, very well said!
Could you just see in this lady's face how much joy these birds brought to her 🐦
My landlady doesn't let me have pets. So I feed birds and have hundreds of them visit me regularly including many feral parrots. I have all the joys of pet ownership without any of the responsibilities. They choose how much interaction and when and have unlimited freedom which pets don't get.
@@nunyabiznez6381 As a kid, my dad didn't allow us to have household pets either. So every wild animal around that trusted me or needed rescuing became my "pets." In the 40 years since then, I have ALWAYS had pets. And my kids grew up with animal siblings!
@@nunyabiznez6381 👍 That kind of freedom bond is very special
You' re more than a bird person, you are a blessed person. Nature only comes this close when you have a blessed heart. THANK YOU for sharing these moments. Thanks from Brazil !!!
Your emotional attachment brings tears to my eyes because I have made bird friends every where I go and it rips my heart to pieces whenever I have to move , too. I worry about them - humans have trashed their homes.
I hope that the next person to move into your old home, kept feeding them. 😭😭😭
Me too. They have become dependant on the feeding.
I hope she left them a note or told them about it. 🙏
That or hopefully the other birds find her at this new home!
Definitely need to leave a letter explaining journey with birds
If the bird keeps on tapping on the windows I wonder if it is going to freak out the new homeowners
How beautiful. It’s like they are telling each other, “hey you want a bite to eat, you feel like peanuts? Cool, let’s go to the lady with peanuts for lunch.”
Nay! They bring you presents! Divine natural intelligence!
I wish I was there in this heavenly situation. Blessed. Blessed. ✊✊. It’s so beautiful to emote with such souls.
Chickadees are SO unbelievably cute. They're so round and dapper looking! We've got a blue jay who sometimes enjoys teasing the heck out of my cats by sitting on the outer window ledge.
I am glad Julie has new birds visiting her but I am so sad for the friends she left.
yeah that is sad, i was kinda hoping they would find her at her new home. I wonder if she told the new owners about the birds...
@@459luker
I wonder if she told them that too.
Contact her to tell the new owner of the house to feed the bird
I hope she left the new owners a note and that they carried on feeding her friends
Think about it this way. I dont know anyone that would shoo away a bird that came up to them and possibly landed on them. So its not likely they'll meet fowl play. (Omg. I cant believe I just said that).
So that's going to be such a cool suprise for someone.
[Siggy still shakin his head about the stupid pun]
This is the loveliest thing I have seen on CZcams today.
Your voice is soft and soothing to them....You garnered their trust. Cherish the good times forever ✨
Love your video. Ive been a hunter, outdoorsman, rescuer, preserver,... You name it.
Nature / animals can be so rewarding. When an individual takes the time to take things to this level, the you are at, its truly almost indescribable. Congratulations and keep it up. You are a very special & heart warming woman!
Great that you went from hunting/killing animals to caring about them.
Birds in her old house: "hey, our favorite restaurant closed its doors." 😐😭
Birds in her new house: "want to try that new tall blonde restaurant?"
Very sad about businesses closing was it Covid that caused this?
Baaahaahahaha! Nice.
I'm expecting an update video that the old birds found her and are fighting the new birds off.... LoL
I hope her moving didn't kill the original birds. They say once you start feeding birds, they depend on you, for their food.
@@xpndblhero5170 I was actually expecting that, without the fight.😢
I just hope the family that moved into her old house has a bird feeder, at least 😊❤️
The birds will train them !!!
This is why I am leaving a note about our sweet stray baby boy Cosmo the kitter kitters. He spends time in our home everyday, its a cool safe space with meal and clean water. My heart wants to being him with us when we move Cosmo is a free spirited cat.
@@laurieherman1215 oh Laurie, you have try and trap him....take him with you
@@J-ZIM no, that’s not right, not moral, not ethical, not humane. It’s a wild animal and as long as it’s healthy, it belongs in the wild….to be free in his habitat.
@@missingcasey I'm sure the birds would disagree with you. Eating a small handout in the AM isn't going to destroy their wild instincts. If you find wild mushrooms, do you stop going to the grocery store?
Your Spirit energy and trusting heart will always win out when combined with patience… no matter the animal.
You are ONE with the flow … Enjoy what you have earned. Congratulations … Smile ❤️
You are part of an ever growing group of people that show there is hope for Humanity. I thank you for that.
What a wonderful bond Julie has with all of these gorgeous birds! The fact that she knows which bird approaches her each time is absolutely amazing and so sincere!
Awww birds are a lot cuter then what some people think,Animals are the cutest most amazing creatures ever and deserve love, happiness and more🐶🐱🐻🦊🐯
They r the best n we don't deserve them, sigh. A commentor said, why was I wasting effort on mutts, rats, n whatnot when I can be helping ppl... 😔 . So disappointed.
Birds are very intelligent
@@intuitivediane - totally
Yes. Yes. Yes...ANIMALS ARE THE BEST THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD 💘. WISH PEOPLE WOULD APPRECIATE THEM MORE. I love animals more than people...they always have unconditional love!
@@Time_to_Stop_Animal_Abuse
Hey, Don't let that jerk have the power to make you feel bad. Please keep loving and helping birds. This is why I love animals more than people. People judge, animals don't...they just love you unconditionally 💘
I had a relationship like that with an intire deer family. I had started to feed a doe that was very thin while nursing 3 fawns. Next thing I knew, the whole family group became my companions. I got the thrill of seeing 3 generations of new fawns. Sadly, I had to move to....was the saddest day of my life!
What a precious gift and wonderful memories. Yes so sad when we have to leave them.
Blue jays are such cool birds. They're the tough guys of the forest and they take no guff from any other birds, even hawks. This is such a great story. I once had a flock of pigeons that would come to my back yard and eventually would land all over me; arms, shoulders, head, hand to get the food. But, blue jays would be such a great species to befriend. Great video. Thanks.
True they bad azz
Blue jays carry warm spirits of our loved ones.
My grandma puts different nuts and berries on her table and because she has been doing it for around thirty years the birds will just fly into her house to retrieve them. They must tell all their children how safe her house is because no bird is too scared or too young to go inside.
That sounds lovely but also I can't imagine the mess they must make
LOL. What a sweet g-ma you have. Reminds me of my g-ma Gert in Helena, MT.
Is pluto the one in your pfp? Beautiful horse
Yes he is the one in my profile pic, thank you!
Love this! Welcome to the land of bird people, we are glad you are here 💕
Bless you for your kindness and gentleness toward our animal friends! I see that they truly love you!
The closest thing I had to a bird buddy was a wild turkey who showed up during late May of 2020 and stayed around until March 2021. I learned so much about turkeys during his stay and he even had a special dance for me. I've tried finding more information on the sound and dance he did but it seemed truly unique to him and him alone. We have some blue jays in the neighborhood but I haven't tried to making friends with them (yet).
What happened after March
@@flyingpiglet He moved on. I think he stayed for as long as he needed to, and more than likely food/finding a mate was the determining factor for why he had to go. But he did stay in the neighborhood for about nine months, which is much longer than we anticipated.
Imagine moving into a new house and the local birds start knocking on your windows 🙈
Hello
Iol
She should have left a letter to the new owner, explaining the feeding arrangement with the local bird population.
Of course, they'd have no obligation to carry on with the practice, but at least letting them know would be lovely.
Sad to think of those birds coming for peanuts as they had been for so long, and....nothing.😕
News on Facebook travels quickly! 🐦🐿️
You are so blessed to have a house and be able to feed the birds these way. Thanks for sharing, these birds are so beautiful.
Touched me. I want to feel wild birds connecting with me. It must be like a spiritual experience to earn trust like she's doing.
When I was a child, I taught the squirrels at our mountain cabin to eat out of my hand. I never thought about getting the blue jays to do likewise but they were watching and getting jealous. Finally the bravest one came down to get some of the goodies from my hand. The rest soon followed, often squabbling with the squirrels over the treats.
I totally get it. I've got a 4 or 5 generation "murder" of crows that I've been feeding daily for years. They wake me up every single morning (which stinks on the weekends) and will even perch in the tree outside my office window to watch me while I'm working. When I'm taking too long in between breaks, they'll fly back and forth at the window level to get my attention - which really freaks out my rescue squirrel. I've now got Carolina Wrens (named Lo-Wren, Air-Wren and Cam-Wren) who land on my hand every day to get mealworms. It took a long time to gain their trust, but it's so cool building that bond with wild animals. Like many others out there, my hubby calls me Snow White too.
That's neat, and I love crows! We seem to constantly have Carolina Wrens making nests on the porch of our log cabin, and some seem so curious I've been tempted to try this, but generally just coexist. They are small, powerful singers!
Love your bird names!
hahaha and it is well-deserved !
DEFINITELY THE "BLUEBIRDS OF HAPPINESS"🥰
It takes a truly kind heart to make that kind of connection.
I hope you shared feeding instructions with the new home owners. Then the birds are happy and the new owners can experience such an amazing blessing of nature. Thanks for sharing 😍❤
I'd b scared to tell other ppl how to get wild birds to come to them, i dont trust ppl. And most ppl r stupid and would probably try to keep them as a pet n put them in a cage n end up killing them..sry to b a Debbie downer.
@@christinapomponio6452 yes you’re right
I can’t get over how beautiful this lady is.
Yes, she is.
A heart of gold.
Birds are so innocent and clever aswell they don't trust everyone....i rescued a sparrow baby recently and he trusted me alot...he is just love 😊😊⭐
The slow motion shots, particularly at 1:30, are poetry.
That was so beautiful, I’m in tears! Thank you for sharing your love for these amazing creatures.
I’m in tears me too
Bless you for slowing down and realizing how truly special Mother Nature is and how much love and companionship she has to give!!!!!
Hello
"Here I am a bird person" no honey, you're a Disney princess 👑💕
Lovely Moments to be shared with birds
Lucky lady
I recently left a house where I was feeding peanuts and almonds to a group of coastal bluebirds for years. Super sad, but cherished the time.
That was cool. Blue jays have so much personality. Love them and the crows, ravens etc. so many good ones including the squirrels. I feed them at my house but have never tried to feed them from my hand. Great video. ❤️🦜🐦
Birds are like tiny dinosaurs and I just love them for that!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🕊🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the meaning of living in harmony. Beautiful !
That's crazy.I have those birds at my feeder.I'm going to try giving them peanuts(I never knew they ate those).
I am learning that birds are more social than I thought.
One day when my feeder was out i went and refilled it.Then all kinds of birds came flying out of every tree in my yard.I was astonished that they made the association between me and food.
I'm having fun learning about them.thanks for the video!
She seems like such a sweet lady
Birds are amazing 💕 Couldn't imagine living without my ducks now.
People don’t realize that sucks actually make wonderful pets! As long as they have the time to spend with them, and the space to allow them to run around and to swim freely. I got 3 ducklings one Easter when I was a kid. I raised them and we put up a fence in the back yard so they could roam freely in the yard with a little pond as well. They made great “guard dogs.” Also, they kept miles out of the yard bc they would eat all the grubs. I took one of their eggs once and used a home incubator and actually hatched a baby duckling. It was amazing. Just great pets.
@@mj6962They are the best! I have 4 extremely spoiled Cyuga ducks that my wife and I just simply can't ever get enough of. We made our backyard into a little duck paradise with several safe enclosed swimming ponds. We have a fairly large 1.5 acre garden that we grow their greens and even have a worm farm for them. Our neighbors love them(cyugas rarely quack) and we always have visits from the kids that live around us. They have become so popular in our neighborhood that we even give them birthday parties now🥳
If anyone is reading this and is thinking about getting a pet duck(or ducks) do know that I do spend nearly $700 a month on them between food , vet supplies, straw for bedding and an outstanding $340 water bill. You will be on their schedule so if you don't have 8hrs a day to dedicate everyday just be a duck fan instead of a duck owner. They WILL expect all your daylight time from sunrise - sunset.... But that is the best part of ducks imo👍.
I moved to a house that borders a pond. 6 rescued ducks call it him. I feed them appropriate food, and get such joy from their personalities.
There’s a man that has the sweetest pet goose.He takes him to stores & restaurants. (Pet goose George) if you want to check it out.
The heart is an amazing gift. Animals can be more attuned to your heart than other people. Bless you for your heart.
That’s amazing! Your so lucky to live in such an environment. Enjoy.
LOVE IT, HOW WONDERFUL YOU MUST BE TO THESE BEAUTIFUL BIRD’S !
Hey
I found new appreciation for birds. I have a hummingbird due for visit in about 2 hrs. He sits on a branch in front of my porch and for 4 hrs diligently guards his feeder..I understand the friendship and it's pretty awesome...❤❤❤
shes a real human who feeds the needy❤️🧿bless u mam
Totally awesome priceless Ty Ty for this taking care of our beautiful birds and making friends. God Bless you
I saw on CZcams an older woman that had fed birds her whole life and when she passed away her son went to the cemetery. A bird met him at the entrance and soon more came. They guided him to her grave. How’s that for Respect? ✨❤️✨
This kind of cases a have been documented by those who study death and the dying. Fascinating.
@@DearProfessorRF I agree, I could read about these all day long!
@@Rune789 Since that's the case I recommend the recently-published book by Bruce Greyson "AFTER," and NETFLIX's documentary "Surviving Death." Dr. Greyson appears on the first episode, but the subject of contact with animals by the dying, or the left behind, is explored on the 4th episode "Signs from the Dead."
@@DearProfessorRF thanks Rob I will definitely look into those!
I'll be moving soon to another state and I'm so sad thinking about the squirrels and birds I feed every morning. I love the feeling I get when watching them all happy and eating. I'm going to have to talk to some neighbors to take over
That must be hard. They will suffer but would have to get used to forging for there own food. I too feed stray cats, foxes, squirrels and birds. And wonder what would happen if I can’t anymore. So I understand. But you have helped for as long as you can I guess. Thanks.

bless you and the birds, makes me well up so much appreciation and compassion
What a heartwarming story, and hear footage too. I love how the chickadees tuck, even when climbing, and the airbrake of Mordi landing!
Maybe she could let the new owners know her story and they could at least have a bird feeder for them 🥺
I almost started crying when she found new blue jay friends at her new house!! That is so cool!!
u are really awesome. kind hearted that even birds trust u
My husband is disabled, and every day he sits on our back porch feeding peanuts to Scrub Jays 💗🐦
I swear I used to work at this person's house doing home health care. And the birds blue Jay's & even a dove would literally land on my thumb and eat out if my hand and the squirrels would sit on my lap & eat nuts. It was the best job ever!! I miss the animals 😥
Yeah right.
Home health care for who?
I love birds so much. She has a wonderful life to be so close to those beautiful creatures.
This is so Sweet. I've seen it many times and just seem to gravitate back ever now and again.
Can’t help but feel super sorry for the birds at the old house 😩
Hopefully she told the new residents and they will continue the tradition. Hopefully!
If the new owners are like the people where I live (Appalachia) they've already killed the poor bird.
Same 😥
@@feedermonkey7233 Turn them in anonymously... it's illegal to kill any native song bird such as the Bluejays and Chickadees featured in this video.
@@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane to whom do I turn them in? Law has gone sideways here in the south. That's a shame because it was getting better for a few years back in the early 2010's and on, but the last couple of years it's been turning into a dark age feudal society. Wish I was kidding 😔
That is so precious. I would feel honored that these birds trust you that much.
Bless you. Keep enjoying and befriending the birds.
It's amazing how the simplest things bring so much joy. Keep it up! Great for mind, body, and spirit!!
This brought tears to my eyes. So sweet. I grew up with lots of blue jays around our yard and woods and always loved them
Nature in all its beauty and majesty. No matter where you are, nature will always surprise you. What this wonderful lady has is so beautiful. When it comes to how nature works, this lady understands how nature works. Because of her patience, she has been given such a wonderful gift. Thank you dear lady for sharing your love 💘 of nature.
Hello 🌹🌹
Animals know good souls. It's as simple as that.
thank you for being such a wonderful animal loving person. wow they fly so gracefully in slow motion!
Julie, you are a bona fide Disney Princess ! I love the way your friend followed you around window by window. I'm sure your old bird friends trained the new house people to do their bidding !
And that is how it starts! I wasn't a bird person either and even though they don't eat from my hand. I have them watching for me to bring them their breakfast morning and late afternoon. 🐦
You are a kind soul!
How gorgeous and so trusting they are. You obviously are a good person and they sense and know it 😊
This video makes me emotional at another level. My mother is a nature lover. We don't live in villa with luscious gardens, yet we do have fields all around and there are various birds.
My mother started feeding them, puffed rice, roti (Indian food) since last one year or so, at first they were nervous. But now after a year or so, some sit on our sofas and eat directly out of her. It's an amazing feeling and seeing my mother so happy feeding those birds makes me so happy. Hence, the long comment. 💕
