I was stressing at work the other day so I decided to chill outside on the grass during break. A Magpie sat with me for an hour as if it could tell I was upset. His friend joined but one Magpie who also tried to join was turned away...I felt like the "cool kid " everybody wanted to be around simply because I'm human lol Birds have their own personality and once I saw that It blew my mind because it's a reality check.They are alive just like us...Idk... I just felt so ignorant and rude as if Ive been ignoring Hello's and Goodbye's all my life. The experience got me into birding:)
pov: you're 23 years old watching an aarp tutorial on bird watching
i really enjoyed this video! i can't wait to get out and learn about the environment around me.
I was thinking the same thing. +1 year lol
I actually am 23 lol
I like birding
Hehe I'm 21 and waiting for my binoculars and hat in the mail
So nice of him to give her his expensive pair of binoculars while using his lesser ones, what a gentleman.
Yeah. He says "all you need is an inexpensive set of binos" as he hands her Swaros.

My kind of man
birdwatching is a great way to enjoy nature and see more of your local areas which you have yet to explore.
The most beautiful bird in the world is the Cardinal. Not only are they beautiful to look at but they sing so beautifully too. LOVE MY CARDINALS!
There's a couple of areas in my local park in London where the birds are used to people and recognise a food opportunity! They will feed from the hand and often stay there until all the food is gone. A robin also landed on my shoulder and waited for me to get the food out of my pocket. A lovely experience.
I'm up in Lincs, and have had robins eat seeds from my hand.
Woow in Wolverhampton not as lucky but i see robins in my woodland areas and they know mee, ive gave food at times and they randomly fly near me, i give the food in a hideout i found in forest to be alone (best peace way) dream is to have robbyi in my hand i had dreams of it!
I'm in a perfect spot to get into this. East coast on a barrier island. Bird sanctuary on one side, marshland on other along the bay. I've been here only 3 months but cant believe all the different birds during migration.
Holy $h! ¡ This guy is really engaged in the topic and I LOVE it
Apocalypse Meow that’s what I was thinking lol, been looking for this comment
If you want to see someone even more engaged, search 'Cliff Stoll Klein Bottle'
The backyard is nice and relaxing. Found out I need a monocular and binoculars at all times.
I just saw a beautiful cardinal in my backyard and got inspired! I really believe special people are drawn to birdwatching❤

Birding is so much fun !
BLACK BARON1:50 ... Birds react and get curious in the air when you fly certain flight manoeuvres with a little RC helicopter in the middle of nature. I find it always interesting to watch the "Bird Perspective" from my position ... "Grounded". I wonder if humans could teach them one day how to fly a "Looping".
Started birdwatchinh recently its really great! Most becuase I paint alot of birds. Great video!
Great video! Shows how peaceful it can be!
Simply Beautiful!! Thank you for such a video 👏
Great video - Birding is a lot of fun for people of all ages and it takes no specials skills to get started.
I would love to try this :)
Just found an (inhabited) Bald Eagle nest above my town's reservoir, Central Virginia, definitely has got me into this hobby!!
Unbelievable! Great! Awesome!
I love bird watching
Excellent, my wife would enjoy bird watching.
Agreed!
Amazing video and amazing channel and amazing job 😀😎👍
The two look like they could be related! I loved this video thank you
Well documented, kudos.
Love birding and nature. Thanks!
Simply Beautiful!! Thank you for such a video
She resembles Loona Lovegood.
Nice video!
I love birding 💓💞💕💗💝♥️
The cameraman is the real birdspotter he has to spot and also film it too.
I keep hearing a knocking sound from the woods near my house. So I took out my old pair of binoculars. I finally discovered the source of the sound a woodpecker. Lol. It was grey and white with a red spot on the top of his head. Does anybody have any idea what type of bird it is?
Thank you!!!
I am not sure if I can call myself an official birder, but I like to tape and photograph birds. The only problem, most of the birds I find are tiny, they move fast, and they won't let you get close to them!
Cool hobby! He reminds me of marlin the dad from finding nemo😊
awesome video mam. inspiration
@ 0:21 seconds she casually flashes her backpack, which happens to be a TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR PRADA BACKPACK😭
KEYNOTE PABLO then the guy hands her a pair of $2,500 Swarovskis lol.
Nice video :) What are peoples thoughts on boundries and disturbance? This is of course just me, but baiting and calling, with bird sounds on a media device or made by humans, oversteps it in my opinion.
However, I do feed birds in my garden via feeders so theres a conflict...
There you go. Just started birding and you're already in a dilemma.
The Cardinal is a rather majestic-looking fellow.
this felt very #birdsofnorthamerica by topic, you guys should make this a series!

Nice vidio, I like it,.
Any pictures of the trousers birds ??
Was this shot in Central Park, NYC?
Can I try this?
I've only identified 27 species out of 250+ where I live.... ;-; I did recognize a grackle, a FEMALE cardinal, a mallard, a sparrow, a chickadee, a Robin, a Male cardnal, In this video though :3
Millie The Mouse-bat so far I've identified 53 species on my farm over the past year, I just identified the Varied Triller a couple days ago. It's always by accident, because I have no idea what birds are supposed to live in my area! I literally just walk around and find new birds, it's awesome.
Saw two birds..with body shiny blue/greenish...with yellowish/orange becks and really orange feet...in Corpus Christi, Texas. Never seen them before...what are they..????
I’m going bird watching tomorrow.
Oh my.... Don't hurt yourself. Lol 😆
HELP: I recently moved to the Pacific Northwest and I've seen so many beautiful birds, but I'm having a problem finding one bird in particular...the Owl. I hear them but I can NEVER see them, WTF. Even when I know they are close by I still can't see them. Whats going on??
look higher. they tend to perch really high up OR inhabit hollowed out dead portions of trees. they have great camouflage as well so they can be very difficult to spot.
Owls are almost silent when they fly, so it's understandable they'd sneak past you.
You may be hearing Mourning Doves. Look up their call and see if it is similar to what you are hearing.
You have to find where they roost. I used to see them when I was out lamping rabbits. Still see the occasional barn owl flying by when driving through country roads etc.
I live in the PNW and see them all the time at a local park just before dusk. They seem to be most active then :)
I heard like pishing is a crime..birds come near that sound imagining other bird have found food and is making sound..and they get fooled..it's like we are wasting their time.
amazing, andaikan ini ada di negeri ku
Lovely movie. Super implementation. Congratulations on the idea. Greetings from Poland and invite you to visit our country.
Hi. What kind of birds do you have in Poland? Lots of large rivers there, so I bet you have loads.
Have any binoculars brand suggestion for a beginner? not too expensive please. Someone told me HUTACT is not bad. anyone has tried this?
You've probably bought some binocs by now, but just in case you haven't, Wingspan ProBirder binoculars are awesome! They are designed just for bird watching. Amazon sells them for just over a hundred, but they're just as good as an expensive pair and they have the ED glass, so the colors are awesome!
Hi, where is this park? What an amazing place!!
Central Park, NYC
You gave them energy bars?
What sort of note book do I need?
I just use a notebook with plain lined pages. There are also some that have templates for you to put in info about the birds you see.
What happens to a guy that's birding gets a pair of glasses on a park . What do they label him as
Christian Cooper brought me here.
She turns into Snow White on her first day of bird watching!
I'm the world's worst bird watcher.
I can't resist talking back to them, but I seldom bother to spot them.
I have all sorts of interactions with them, and I just stand and talk to them.
They gather to me - every species in earshot, and speak back.
Finally, a dove or doves will show up to watch, but they remain quiet.
I'm not really a bird watcher - I'm a bird watchee.
That is another basic possibility.

Imagine enjoying your hobby in peace. And a rude lady lets her dog off the leash.
The lady in this video so pretty imagine what she looked like in her younger days
Don't need to imagine her when she was younger. The here and now she is gorgeous Don't take that away from her as she can't be any more or any less beautiful that she is. Age is irrelevant.
@@crikeymos22 Of course it's not irrelevant.
@@goodyeoman4534 oh be quiet.
@@crikeymos22 Your aggressive response is typical of an insecure person. You want me to be quiet because the things I say cause you doubt.
I enjoy bird watching but because im.black i get wierld looks lol especially if i werr to make the noises
You reek of victimhood. Please grow up.

Somebody please do something !!! In Meghalaya. NE India, there is rampant killing of birds. Wildlife almost non existent. Every household will boast of a catapult laden Hunter . The hills & dales are scenic but devoid of fauna. The state capital is Shillong. It's strange but nobody cares & are oblivious of having a cold cold heart.
Correction : Every household can boast of a catypult wielding hunter
Wait did he just hang a pair of Swarovski around her neck like they were a pair of $100 budget binoculars?!
They call it sick. About kids I'm just saying it happens
"an inexpensive pair of binoculars", he said, as he handed her the $3k Swarovski's
I am 30 years old, what is CZcams trying to tell me??
Isn't this the guy who uses his cell phone to broadcast distress calls to attract birds? I hope not.
I would love to try this :)
awesome video mam. inspiration
Nice video!
