LesleytheBirdNerd you’re the cutest bird in North America 😉🥰
Bushtit?
I agree with all of them
Cute little wrens?
@@prshr6145 vvvvvbvbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb0
I think the titmouse is one of the cutest! Honorable mention, please!!
Agreed. Who can resist those cartoon eyes?
Awe! I totally agree! I love seeing them!
Totally agree
I concur!!!
Luck Yeti apparently they're old as well. Like one of the first of our modern birds.
Waxwings are adorable too! Especially when they're drunk from fermenting fruit, or a pair passing a gift back and forth during courtship.
My mother called Juncos "milk birds' because she thought they looked like they'd been sitting in a saucer of milk.
And i have a friend who says she thinks nuthatches sound like a small rubber duck being stepped on.
Interesting about what your mother would call juncos. It really does look that way too. also, funny about your friends take on what nuthatches sound like, lol. :)
And I found out my friend describes nuthatches that way when we were emailing back and forth. She was telling me about a bird she hand fed and couldn't remember what it was. She described its call and from that I told her it was a nuthatch.
Called?
Thanks Mom! I now have a great way to both distinguish & remember their name! :)
Can't disagree with any of your picks, they are all adorably cute. I would increase to "Top 12..." and add the Carolina Wren and the Tufted Titmouse. Your commentary was top-notch also. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a bunch :) I have to be honest, I'm regretful for not mentioning the titmouse. I really think it should have been in here but it was so hard to pick a top ten lol.
Loved your list, & I agree with creatorwise about adding the Carolina Wren & tufted titmouse - great birds on the adorableness factor.
One more awesome bird is the whip-poor-will. Their song is so very loud for their rather small, inconspicuous bodies - a really notable song. They stay hidden, so all most folks know of them is their song.
~♥~
I like the owls
Yup, the Tufted Titmouse is my favorite cutie!
creatorwise good additions! Love them both.
This was great! The best are the Kinglets! I was blessed to help one. She hit the window in my sunroom and crashed on to a table right in front of me. She took a hard hit and even damaged her beak. I got her and brought her in and held her, she was shaking and panting so badly it made me cry. All the. birds flew off when she hit. Then one returned sat still on the suet cage and stared at me helping her. When she moved around I would walk her outside to see if she was ready to fly away. Eventually she perched on my finger, out we'd go but she didn't fly away. The whole process took about an hour. When she was ready she looked at me and flew up to her mate. Now, im assuming she was a she bc of coloring. You cant miss the yellow on the males. What could have been a tragedy turned into a giant blessing!
I was waiting for the Tufted Titmouse. I'm bummed it wasn't up there. They're cute as all get out.
I love all of them, but my favorite bird is the Carolina Wren!
Barred owls are the cutest. They are such derpy little balls of fluff, and even their hooting is cute.
I saw my first Kinglet about few months ago, and yes it was very cute, but my #1 will always be the Chickadee!
I'm surprised no one mentioned the Gray Catbird. They may not be the most colorful birds, but I think they're up there on the cute list, especially when they mew.
Until they mew foe 8 hours non stop
Until they do that for 8 hours on end and you're outside mowing your lawn! XD.
TheEmperorOfWei I get them all over the place in spring..I remember the first time I watched one actually sing and was stunned at the beauty and complexity..then it paused, looked at me, and "mew"..smh, "go back to the other song".."mew".."jerk".
Yeah. I would have to put Catbirds as an Honorable Mention on my list. I also like how shy they are. It’s like finding someone sing to his or herself and watch them get embarrassed when they realize they’ve been watched.
Yes Catbirds are so adorable personality wise we have had them returning year after year for Suet and once we know they are back we put out Jelly and fresh fruit. They especially love fresh fruit and once they see me outside they come flying to the feeder. Sadly a damn felix domesticus killed one today or sometime since I had checked on them yesterday.... poor little cuties T_T
Love your choices, I would have to include bluebirds , cardinals, and mourning doves as they give me so much pleasure in my yard.
Cardinals and cedar wax-wings too! Love chickadees tho
Bluebird is cutest and one I can't remember the name but rare and use to see in wabaso beach. Very colorful.oh yesss, the painted bunting
More of a beautiful bird like the blue jay or oriole
Kind of surprised Blue Jays weren't on your list. I know they are on mine.
As a fly fisherman I vote for the Water Ouzel or Dipper. It's always nice when one comes by to keep me company. The way they bob and dip is definitely cute. I love how they go under water to find nymphs. No complain with any of your choices. I'm sure everyone has an additional entry.
Thank you for your videos. I just found your channel and glad I did. CZcams is great. Thanks
That is one of my favorites too!
As a kid watching Ouzels fascinating behaviour creekside while fishing with my Dad, I realized how different birds could be. In those days Varied Thrush was my favourite call but the Ouzel was my favourite companion.
Agree with the dipper! They are fascinating!
I agree also...When im in the river swinging a fly through a run, I spend alot of time watching the american dippers. They are a cute and fascinating bird .Amazing how they walk under water picking up the loose salmon eggs.
I knew the black-capped chickadee had to make this list. A very fitting number 2 spot.
I find birds so cute, hardworking and so adorable. So fluffy with dainty feet.
This is one of the best videos I've ever SEEN! My favorite parts are when you put the sounds they make in after talking about them.
My top five:Bluebirds, Nuthatch,tufted titmouse,chickadee,buntings.
Tufted titmouse is my pick for cutest bird. The white ring around the eyes makes their eyes look big and the tuft reminds me of my cockatiel.
I agree with all of your super cute birds, Leslie! Someone just below mentioned the Carolina Wren. This was my pick for #1 because it is the little bird with a big voice! They are curious and love to hop along the railings around houses. One hopped outside my kitchen window just the other day and looked in at me! They're so cute with their big bills, little bodies, and short stubby tails.
After that I would say Sandpipers because of how they run away from the waves and then run back on the beach. They are so cute!
And Woodcocks are another curious bird. I had one that kept trying to check out my garage while I was in it! It was checking out my yard and finally made its way back to the brush where they nest. They're so cute with their striped and specked feathers and enormously long bills! It's fun to watch them stick their long bills into the ground when they're feeding!
I love the Black capped Chickadee, Nuthatch, and GoldenFinch. How you handle feed the birds I’ll never know!
I am glad u picked the Ruby Crowned Kinglet as the cutest!
Ahh I live for Parakeets, yes common, but their stripes are so unique, and their colors are so soft and beautiful!
You only missed one, my husband and my very favorite.... Carolina wren. Very small with a little tale they goes up not out. Such a darling little note and personality that is just as darling. Check him out.
I had a rough day and your video brought a smile to my face. Thank you :)
2 years after you posted your comment we're in the pandemic and bird videos are just what the doctor ordered:)
I hope you're having better days 🙂
I think American Woodcocks are one of the cutest birds. There “beep” noise along with their funny dance/walk is adorable.
czcams.com/video/4Owj52XhoxI/video.html
I loved your choices and agree they all belong on the list. One of my favorites is the Black Phoebe, because I've been able to watch them. I love their chirp and their cute hopping.
Doris Diaz they are adorable!
Love phoebes !! ❤️❤️
Also they flutter and hover and make cute squeaking noises.
They are so friendly and cute!
Great list! Not familiar with all of those bird types. I have always been drawn to the cardinal, with it’s looks and song. Thanks for sharing.
My take on cute tiny birds: they hop, they are round, they are puff, their faces, they are silly, soft and warm. Eeeeeeeeeeee!!!
FLUFF PUFF PUFF
@@fat_pigeon Haha. I love your name.
I feel crows and ravens get a bad rep! I think they are as cute as any other. Especially their behavior 😅
titmouse is most beautiful bird in North America. Thanks for uploading.
Another thing about Juncos that's super adorable: when I lived in an apartment, I would see them on the deck doing a little "dance" to scrape the snow away and reveal fallen seeds from the feeder. They would do small, short jumps back and forth. Very cute!
Chickadees (Especially the mountain chickadee, goodness!!), Juncos, Titmice, Goldfinches, Every single kinglet ever, tree swallows, Kestrels, Merlins,,,,,literally every other bird imaginable
Haha! I agree birds are pretty darn adorable. I love tree swallows. Two summers ago I was able to watch a pair nesting. It was so sweet.
whoa, that's so cool!! There's a wildlife refuge about 20 minutes away from my house that I loveee to visit, and during the winter it is filled to the brim with swallows. The best thing about it is the fact that there's a big walking bridge across the lake with the nest boxes, and I find that swallows are very friendly to begin with, so you can imagine how close they'd let you get. The tree swallows love to sit on the railings, and the young Barn Swallows are always super friendly and just sit on the lilypads underneath the bridge, cheeping away cheerfully. Also, for the past two summers, I've been staying at a super cool summer camp (it's offered for free to children of disabled veterans, aka meeee) right on Lake Erie, so you can imagine all the cool things I got to see there. There were tons of beavers, groundhogs, friendly baby bunnies, owls, bats, eagles, goldfinches and scarlet/summer tanagers etc etc. I even saw a blue bird in the field once by the equestrian center, which I found interesting since there were *loads* of swallows anywhere else closer to the water, mainly barn swallows. They were living everywhere! There was a nest in the roof of the main hall (which kept me occupied when waiting to get signed in lol), another one up in the far corner of the mess hall/"banana building" right along the pathway everyone takes at least twice a day, and I've even heard that there were a few nests inside the "cabents" (cabin tents, they're basically a cemented ground with a wooden frame and roof and fabric flaps) at the boys' camp, since they're much closer to the water than we were. It was super cool being able to monitor the growth of those cuties!
I love the chickadee call
I got to pet tree swallows once.
Love your cute list...my favorite cute are waxwings.
Sure appreciate your interesting and kind bird videos with narration! You have a kind voice and I’m glad you appreciate our God’s interesting flighted creatures. Thank you, Leslie!
I see the kinglets in the spring super cute i love those guys :)
This is the most adorable video I have ever seen THIS IS THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE those birds are sooo small and fluffy and so round and most importantly VERYYYYYYYY CUUUUTTEEEEE
I audibly said "YES!" when Kinglets came up as #1, totally agree :D I would have to include a wren, most likely winter/pacific wren. And with their "MEEP" call and huge eyes I'd have to include American Woodcock as well. Thanks for the fun video.
Haha! That's awesome. So glad you liked what I chose for number 1. Kinglets are super awesome! :) I really need to see a wren some day, everyone always mentions about them but I never get to see them :( And you are right the America Woodcock is definitely adorable. Thanks for the awesome comment!
I remember the first Golden-crowned Kinglet I saw up close and personal many years ago. He stuck very close to me for a minute or two. He was so brave and so proper-looking. He reminded me of a busy, but proud little corporal in dress uniform. It seemed like he was showing off his wing bars but the yellow and orange coloring on his crown is what amazed me the most. I couldn't wait to get home and look him up to see what kind of bird he was. Years later, during the first Wisconsin Breeding Bird Atlas, I discovered a nesting pair. This was supposed to be a rare occurrence in Wisconsin but many others also found them. It was one of the surprising findings that the atlas work uncovered. Wisconsin has a decent population of breeding GCK! The second atlas just wrapped up so it will be interesting to see what that one shows.
Love your choices (but I would def have added Eastern Bluebird)- my favorite bird call is from the Ruby-crowned Kinglet! It just makes me happy!
I just love the gold finch. They are so pretty.
Lola Thomas my fav too!
And when they fly, it looks like they're on a roller coaster!
Great video! Now this might sound weird, but I had a wonderful experience with a friendly wild turkey where I used to live, and now I think wild turkeys are cute.
My summertime favorite is the Gold Finches hanging on long bags of thistle. I make my own thistle bags using curtain lace...seeds don't fall out like the thistle bags sold in stores. One year I had 20 Gold Finches hanging on to one of the 22 inches long bag, was awesome, I have photos somewhere.
I love the Flicker Wood pecker...their distinctive flying pattern is awesome.
Today I have 2 Downy woodpeckers, 1 male, 1 female...Tons of Nuthatches and Chickadee's...nomming on seeds and sunflowers. My neighbor helps me make hanging Birch limb logs with 2" round holes I put nommies inside....I had a huge 18" long Pileated Woodpecker on my log feeder.
We hear the owls, AND i had one swoop right over my head late one night...but I've never seen one.
Last week we had an american bald eagle, swooping down in our big fish pond...he gets a big gold fish, but I'm OK with that, but NOT the Blue HEron who's wiped out nearly all of my big fishies.
Started out with more than 80...now I have less than 20...sigh.... I'm always sharing your website with others...I post a few bird videos...but mine are shamefully novice at best!
Loved that one with music...few weeks back...I play piano...well, try to at least! Tks for your awesome videos!
We're in Boring, OreGONE...base of Mt Hood in Pacific northWET.
Chickadee😊
Carolina Wren! Honestly, I love your list & your videos!!
Love all your picks and would also give an honourable mention to the killdeer! Their 'broken wing' act is so smart and cute. They love the fence rows between our cow pastures!
They're so loud lol
Definition of "Cute" ...
Half an ounce of courage wrapped up in feathers...
😄😄😄
My niece saved a Hummingbird - featherless & helplessly tiny...
her vet came up with special nutritional wet food recipe... this little guy wld land on your shoulder & snuggle into your neck...the absolute thrill of this interaction was best muti in the world! She released him but kept returning out of nowhere - with his mate who watched this "madman" of hers interact with these humans... was hilarious in so many ways...all saved rescues were released and most returned for visits... Just shows we humans were created to be CARETAKERS of these sentient beings... for their good and ours too...

NASA fakes space. Birds are awesome.

@@dconfused9919 NASA does not fake space.
Wow, when hummingbirds don’t even make it to the #5 cutest spot!? Who knew there were birds cuter than them!
I've always like cedar waxwings.
I spotted my first golden-crowned kinglets this fall! It was so special and they're definitely one of my favorite birds now.
great list!! pretty spot on with me too. i might add Brown Creeper, because they are shaped like a croissant with a long bill, the American Bushtit because they are small round and huddle together and the Whiskeyjack because they are fluffy round and friendly
"Spot on", something I like to hear. We built locomotives for the Aussies here in Erie PA and they would send a rep to keep an eye on things. When we would take the loco out on the test track and he was asking us to go through certain tasks, I would here that a lot.
Great list. Thank you.
I love these videos, just discovered them. Relaxing. And your photography skills are top notch.
I’m in MD, USA. And one of my favorite birds around here are the tufted titmouse. so precious and they almost post as a group for photos.
I love owls
Nice list ! How bout wrens ? They're cute too ,but the list was a good one !!!
Great list Lesley! I have to say IMOA chickadees are #1 on the cuteness scale. "Hey Swee-tie!" 😚 - Alli
I call the junco ,junkheads ❤️. The humming birds get nicknamed hummers . The scale of cute defiantly includes their voices . Yes I agree the small owl is a good contestant . .
Omg. I love you! This video warmed my heart as did your passion for these cute little birdos!
Lesley, thanks for informing me of the Dark Eyed Junco.I live in So. Cal., and I see them in my backyard mostly during late fall and winter, and always wondered what kind of bird it was.
I had my downy woodpecker loves peanut suet so beautiful .. thank you again
I certainly will not disagree! Yep.....cuteness overload. Thanks again for the great footage and info Lesley!
Lesley is such a doll. I could listen to her chat about birds all day.
My top 10 cute birds are: 10. Northern Mockingbird 9. Song Sparrow 8. Carolina Wren 7. Tufted Titmouse 6. Hummingbirds 5. American Goldfinch 4. American Robin 3. Blue Jay 2. Northern Cardinal Honorable Mentions: Gray Catbird, Black-Capped Chickadee, Dark-eyed Junco, Red-Bellied and Downy Woodpeckers 1. Mourning Dove
BriannaBird Davis yes! Northern cardinal is high on someone’s list at least, to me they’re soooo damn cute, love their funny songs and pointy hairdo’s!
Definitely. Their whistles and chirps are cute, and when the male and female courtship feed, it looks like they're kissing. It's so adorable! Such spiritual birds.
I love mourning doves too! They are so sweet and gentle, and they look cute.
I mourning doves are so cuteeeeeeeeeee
BriannaBird Davis love this list! I was looking for the mockingbird too!
Ah!! Totally agree. These are definitely some of my favorites. However I might would add the Pine Warbler. They are so adorable. When I put peanut butter and seed in my suet feeder they are the first to show up. They fly up and sit on a nearby branch waiting for me to leave so they can get their treat. Love your videos!
Omg loved this! Really enjoyed your take on it. And my fav bird (goldfinch) was in the list so that made me happy. Thx!!
I don’t really have a top 10 but
Blue birds have to be one of my absolute favorites!
Your love for these birds clearly comes across in this video. God bless you !
Great little stories about great little birds! Thank you.
I love your channel. I watch it all the time with a great pleasure. Thanks for showing us those little marvels.
I think your list is awesome ! All cuties for sure.. It is hard to narrow it down to just 10 so well done ! : D
Beautiful video, as always! My faves would be. 1. Chickadees, 2. Bushtits, 3. Piping Plovers, 4. American Kestrels, and 5. House Finches. :)
Thanks a bunch! American Kestrels really are adorable. I saw my first one a few years ago, super cute.
Oh yeah, Kestrels for sure!
Elias Zuniga yaass, I was so happy to see someone mention kestrals!
And I thought screech owls were small! We had a nest of screech owls in our suburban back yard and we could walk right up to them at eye level. One day the three chicks floated up about two feet above my head!
They were about the size and round shape of a soft ball and made no sound of any kind that I could hear! Like floating fluffy soap bubbles. I followed under them up the sidewalk for about 50 feet before they floated over a fence back to towards the tree.
I think that the black billed magpies and the yellow billed magpies are the cutest! Especially the babies and the fledglings! They just make my day with their high-pitched screeching! It sounds like they are saying weep weep, which just has to be the cutest sound that I've ever heard.
omg. I would love to see a Saw-whet owl...so cute!
I would add titmice to the list. Not sure which bird I'd leave off to switch out with them, though.
I don't know for sure - but I think tits and chickadees are essentially the same kind of bird.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
@@walterbyrd8380
They're in the same family, Paridae.
Solution? Longer list, more cute
Tears are pouring out of my eyes from the cuteness!!
:) Glad that you enjoyed.
There was one time when I went to my backyard to get rid of my extra houseflies (which I used to feed my pet bugs).
After throwing a few onto the ground, a ruby crowned kinglet flew down from a tree to my feet to chow down. He stayed while I emptied all my containers of flies, pigging out. Then flew back to a tree when I'd thrown all my extra flies away.
The cutest!!!!!!!!
Bushtits are very special. They are very social and unafraid. Their small size and seasonal appearance here in the SF Bay Area is always a time for a small and sweet heartfelt joy. Their nests are the shape and size of a bundled pair of socks. We once had a rose in our back yard which happened to be at the tip of a long and straight vertical stem. About a foot below the rose, attached to the straight vertical stem, the bushtits made their nest. I've never seen anything real that was quite so close to being an honest-to-goodness fairy tale home. What a joy!
The one true cutest bird of em all: Leslie the nerd bird ❤
Just found your channel and love it! You are as adorable as the birds you highlight. I've always been nuts about birds too and can't thank you enough for the interesting and informative videos. Hope you are still making them.
Well my favourite chickadee should be the first, however I am certainly happy for the kinglets; love them too😊
The little song of the chickadee was what raised my curiosity to learn more about them and other birds. At the time I knew NOTHING about birds, and I still don't know a lot, but I spent an hour one morning on youtube going through bird songs trying to figure out what little bird was making that morning song I was hearing at dawn. The Carolina Chickadee was the winner. We were in central Ohio at the time. I am now in Northeast Ohio and while I haven't heard the Carolina Chickadee, I do hear the Black-Capped. Always warms my heart. We put out bird feeders this years and it has brought so much entertainment for our whole family.
Great list...you've developed an interest in me..here in Ottawa Canada we have many forests...i will pay more attention to our feathered friends..thank you
Canadian Martin
Purple Martins and Juncos are my fave! ❤️
Megan Johnson ooh I love the purple martins!!
The Ruby Crowned Kinglets have learned to visit my Hummingbird feeders in the winter....they're adorable....... A few years back we had an albino Junco spend the winter in our neighborhood......she was beautiful, all white with a pinkish beak and legs. Birds friends make the world better!
I love your top 10. Thank you for sharing. I think all birds have their own cuteness. My favorite bird is the Blue Jay.. ❤❤❤
The White-throated Sparrow would have to go on my list, largely for their song which reminds me of early mornings at summer camp. I'd also have to add the Tufted Titmouse.
I was lucky enough to have a Ruby-crowned Kinglet near my work when I used to live in the States. So cute 😊
The White-throated sparrow is one of my favorite birds. Have always loved those guys. And the Tufted titmouse is definitely adorable :)
Lovely! I'm gonna be looking out for Nuthatches and Kinglets now :)
it’s been 2 years have you gotten nuthatches?
We moved to Massachusetts from upstate NY almost 2 years ago, bringing us closer to the beach than we’ve ever lived. The plovers are protected here (I imagine they are in other places too) and they’ve quickly become one of my absolute favorites!
the chickadee with the masks and the way they work the branches ,or when birds follow one another is insanely cute
I think all birds are good but owls should be number one
I would personally include White-Throated Sparrows on my list.
As well as chickadees and nuthatches, I’m nuts about the bushtits. Little gray balls with a tail ; the way they flock in and out of the garden together, chattering; fussy fussy.
O yes, cuteness overload indeed! The dark eyed junco was my grandmother’s favorite bird. She thought they looked so neat and chipper when they came to their feeder. They lived on the northern Mississippi River, in Minnesota, so they saw, fed and banded birds for Audubon. I spent a lot of time there - what a treat! I’d forgotten how teensy titmouses (titmice?) are, and seeing them here was so fun. Well, all of them. I give up on limiting cuteness to ten. I enjoy the sparrows, too. Thanks for cheeriness!
That's such a great list, Leslie! Always a pleasure to see you have a new video. Keep up the wonderful work!!
Glad you enjoyed. Thank you for the comment :)
The prettiest bird that comes to my feeders is the painted bunting.
They are beautiful , I've only ever seen them in the spring in West Tennessee.
Steven Brooks kinda rare but oh so beautiful
I'm so jealous
Love these little birds, I have to agree with you all are very cute! Plus many more others too!
