The fact that Stefano is able to edit, record with insane quality, set up his videos, all while responding to every comment! Huge props to Stefano
Very kind, thank you!
I just found this channel, but the filming is amazing great quality! And content. Just the antidote I needed to depressing news here in Norway about the state of our forests. Hopefully Canadas vast wilderness will be safe for a long time and gently helped by Stefano and others.
That red fox curling up for a nap on the sunlit snow was just too sweet. 😍
Agreed!
Stefano's production quality is on point, I think he deserves more subs
Haha glad you enjoy the videos!
He absolutly does deserves more subs👍😅
The photography is simply stunning.
Got one here! Not sure how I found this - but I am absolutely going to try something similar. Smaller, but same idea. He made SO many new friends! ❤
Beautiful photography, too - thank you for sharing!
I agree with you Heisenberg! 🙂
Stefano is so kind hearted from building a pond for an ecosystem to now making a nature homestead , he deserves so much ❤
Thank you for the kind words!
I completely agree!
Stefano might not be pregnant, but he never fails to deliver 🔥 But the production is crazy fr
😂😂
😅
I love how much effort you put in to make sure local native ecosystems thrive near you - we need people all over every part of the world putting this type of thought into their local nature, no matter how big or small. I live in Atlanta, but there's a little one-block park that has nesting boxes galore for the birds near me, and I've seen everything from sparrows to hawks, owls, and herons in there despite the size! It helps that a lot of the houses keep and maintain their old growth trees in the area as well, and a lot of the creeks have pretty continuous habitat along them.
I'm only 6 miles from downtown, too, just goes to show that you can make places work for people and nature
Thank you! And that sounds like a wonderful habitat. Very lucky to have it close by!
One of the best channels for wildlife and birds lovers ! 👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
The only wildlife one that I'm following, and I love it
i just found this channel and im already in love. you do so many things for nature and im glad to find someone who does the same things i do. i hope people realize how important native wildlife is.
So happy to hear you enjoy the channel. Thank you!
i’ve said it once and i’ll say it again. always a joy to see you post! i am absolutely in love with your content and am always thinking throughout the weeks how things are going. please never stop what your doing. not only does it please me and many other viewers to watch the content but the work your doing is way more impactful than it may seem. much love!
Very kind of you, thank you so much for the support!
These videos are so wholesome and show that there are still good people in the world.
Thanks so much!!
Your editing and scriptwriting is getting better and better with each video. I'm really looking forward to all the wildlife this year and hope you'll continue sharing with us
That's very kind of you, thank you!
I love that you describe the wildlife habits, food, etc. throughout the video. You make even the tiniest creature (snow flea) so interesting! Thank you for sharing!
Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words 🙂
Your videos are so calming and beautiful! Please keep sharing, I love how thoughtful you are of all the wild animals and nature living there. It's like a empathy lesson to respect every living being!
Very kind of you, thank you!
I am so happy for you and a tiny bit jealous. Happy you are being rewarded for your great stewardship of your property. Wishing you decades and decades of animals moving in and making your place their home. Looking forward to the pond videos too. Thanks for your work and for sharing :D
Thanks so much!
I have never been so stoked for a channel's videos to pop into my sub box, keep it up, these are such a welcome slice of peace.
Thanks so much, hope you enjoyed the video!
I love watching your content, man. It's so calming and always brings a smile to my face. Living in a city, I rarely have time to go into nature, so watching your videos just makes me happy. Thank you for creating such wonderful content. Love you man.
So happy to hear you’re enjoying it. Thank you!
Foxes are one of my favorite animals, so to see one all happy, prancing around, and then snuggle in the sun lit snow just felt special. Thanks for your work and production! More subs for this good human!
Glad you enjoyed the fox! Thanks for watching
im not sure why but the way you film and narrate everything brings me on the verge of tears almost every time man
Awh, thanks so much!
I remember when your channel had reached the 10k subs milestone.....its really great to see how its grown since then! Keep up the awesome work Stefano!
Thanks for the words of encouragement!
Litterally just rewatched the last video last hour, and now this pops up...I swear its fate xD. Can't wait to see how it looks in spring!
Haha, great timing!
*literally
Always get excited when you put out a video because I know it's going to have beautiful wildlife, birds and scenery. You do an amazing job on your videos.
So happy to hear! Thank you for watching!
Wow I'm just on time I found your channel yesterday and I'm blown away by these videos thank you!
So happy to hear you're enjoying the videos so far!
Your videos are so special. That beautiful fox in the pristine snow, just lying down for a little snooze in the sunlight, made me get a little emotional lump in my throat. You are so knowledgeable and I learned a lot from watching this, not least the wonderful birds you have there - many are similar to the ones we see in the UK but none exactly the same! Amazing work you are doing there. When I see a notification for one of your updates, your video goes to the top of my viewing list! Already looking forward to the next one!
Wow, thank you! It’s amazing to hear! 🙂
Watching you interact with the ecology of that absolutely gorgeous property is endlessly inspiring and entertaining. I wish you the best of luck with springtime projects!
Very kind, thanks so much!!
You're so inspiring! Looking forward to what this season will bring!
Thanks so much!
I am super excited for these videos! I recently found this channel through recommendations and I am so glad I found it when I did. The cinematography and general storytelling is very comforting for me as I go through a tough time. ❤
Hope things get better! Thank you for the kind words ❤️
Stefano, You have the perfect voice for your videos. And thank you for not messing them up with background clatter! So glad I found your channel.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and progress with us. As someone who has recently moved "up north" and is a nature nut, your videos are giving me all sorts of ideas about how to attract more wildlife to the property. We do have flying squirrels as well and they are enchanting. Look forward to following your journey.
Thanks so much! And congrats on the move!
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if more property owners did what you do!👍🏻👍🏻
You have inspired so many people man , me included..I have been trying to make my moms backyard more friendly towards wildlife , in mountainous Greece and it has been so great...sadly cant be there too often with college , work and its a 2 hour drive but you have really ignited a fire inside me to research more about my local wildlife and stuff and im so thankful to you for it
That's amazing to hear!! I'm wishing you luck on your future projects
100% the most under rated channels ever, these videos are better than high end production movies and films
Very kind of you, thank you!
This channel is so underrated. This guy deserves more subscribers
Very kind! Thank you!
I always love watching your videos, really can’t thank you enough for creating and sharing them with us! ♡
I’m about to start a (seasonal) wildlife technician position with the US Forest Service, and I can’t wait to channel my inner-Stefano when I’m out hiking and doing surveys. 😅 Your passion and curiosity is contagious, thanks for putting it out into the world. 💖
That’s awesome! Hope your season goes well. That’s my position, as well. Very fun job. It’s always a bonus when you can learn and earn simultaneously 🙂
It's always a good day when stefano uploads ❤
Hope you enjoy!
Fell in love with this channel after watching the pond building videos. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Love your documentation of the build you did on the previous property, and look forward to following your build here! Best of luck on everything!
Thanks so much!!
Just found you like two days ago, trough your pond Video. And you've already gained a new sub. Love what you do, and the quality is just phenomenal
Thanks so much, really glad you're enjoying the videos!
@@StefanoIaniro wow, you're quick with the comments :D
I think you found a big hole in the market with this more personal style of "wildlife documentary"
@@zupaschnitzel3300 Thanks! It’s been a lot of fun crafting my style. Glad you like it!
Ive been watching you for a couple years now. Love seeing the growth the channel is having.
Thanks so much!!
you’re making me discover species i had no idea we had here so this is extra special for me! you’re doing amazing work!! this video is so beautiful and interesting and i’m so excited to see what spring has in store for you, it’s gonna be busy! 😄
That's so nice to hear, thank you! Hope you have a great spring, as well!
You can’t beat this if you are an animal lover or outdoors lover this is the best channel out there this guy knows his stuff great job
Very kind! Thank you!
Love the idea of permanent swallow structures! I am looking forward to the spring migration. Another great video, Stefano!
Thanks so much, Eric!!
Your videos make me so happy! And I am so glad to have found your channel. We need more people like you in this world.
Thanks so much!!
Yes! Definitely a lot of success this late winter (snow buntings are my favorite, so cool), I am very excited for what new critters will appear in the spring. Those snow fleas are so interesting, I had never heard of them.
Really glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching
What a wonderful vid again. I'm always like "aw is it over already?" I can really watch this forever. 🥰😊
Haha thanks so much!
Absolutely in love with your stuff.
Cant wait to see how this turns out, because i’ll most certainly be following along ❤️
Thanks so much!!
Your work is so amazing ! I’m definitely inspired to build nesting boxes and put them in my garden, problem is that I have a cat and I have to figure out a way to put them in a cat proof area ! I put a lot more feeders this past winter and saw so many more bird species it made me so happy !
It’s also wonderful to see the difference that planting flowers and vegetables as well as fruit trees and bushes made in terms of bringing insects and life in general in our garden since moving in 😍❤️
my new favourite content creator. your videos make me feel internally peaceful
You can just spread some maize, millet and clover seeds loosely over the moist ground this spring in the less forested parts of the property to help feed the wildlife naturally. Birds will likely eat a lot of the seeds right away, but some will manage to sprout and grow among the weeds, providing some extra food options through the fall and winter. Another neat trick I learned from local gamekeepers is to spread horse or cow manure over the pasture areas, provides a thicker "hay reserve" layer beneath the snow for all herbivores.
Very interesting! I definitely like the idea of spreading seed on the ground in the forested areas. Maybe even in the spring I could put a bit at random parts of the property, just until I get more plants established
I waited for this!
Hope you enjoy!
This is the sort of content that I wish we had in every region of the world. I wish I knew of a local naturalist who would be willing to help me plan & source plants for my hopeful bird & pollinator garden.
You bless me. Continued health and happiness my friend.
Wow very kind of you! Thank you so much for the support!

Thank you for the update. I love seeing all of the new wildlife you're able to find. That fox was really cute I hope you're able to find their den.
I put up a bird feeder in our backyard and started tracking the local birds and the wildlife in our area. It's amazing how many different birds we get coming through our backyard. Our cats love watching them come and go from the windows. I'm looking at setting up a bird house or two next year since there are a lot of birds looking to nest in the trees nearby.
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed. Happy you're having success with your birds! I'm wishing you luck on your projects 🙂
Stefano, I love your channel.
I grew up in the American South. Lived in Québec City for a short while. Now I'm in the French countryside.
I miss NA birds. Your channel gives me such happiness.
Merci !
Hi! I don't know if you'll ever see this, but over summer break I was doing a lot of research on different species of bats and all about how to build certain types of bat houses! I thought it was really interesting and I'm building a maternity one for the land my family owns up North! The only reason I'm bringing this up is because I think building a bat house would be a really cool addition to your habitat. It's just an idea, but from what I can see, bats are already a dwindling species, and they could really benefit from what you're doing! :)
That’s awesome! I’m hoping you’ll have a full bat box this season! I definitely will be putting up bat boxes. I might start with a couple this season as I figure out what I want to do with the different parts of the property. But starting next year I want a ton of them around 🙂
@@StefanoIaniro So cool! I love your videos, thanks for responding!
A suggestion: doing a tutorial on creating those nesting spots would be amazing!
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this next installment to the property series. So happy to be following along and looking forward to what comes next.
Thanks for watching!
Ah the way you handled that butterfly 🥹🤍
I think everyone has already said everything I would! Just keep that love in your heart😊
Thanks so much!!
Just discovered this guy yesterday and i can't stop watching, so addicting! You are so caring to these animals, can't wait for the rest of spring
Stefano, your inspirational to some many people and myself. I love animals just like you. You make me like birds even more than I did before. I have just started watching you, and I appreciate all you do. You deserve so many more subs than you have. People like you show that people need to appreciate that animals have life’s like us. Thank you!!
Rewatching this and now the fox video has a new meaning!
It is exciting to see all those birds to live nearby , it should be fantastic during spring and summer! While in Malaysia we are having our migratory season going to an end, now almost all forest birds is having their nest done or on the way of feeding/parenting
Wow, I hope you had an enjoyable migration!
Me too😊❤
i love all types of animals and i hope to do something like you soon
I wish you luck on your future projects!
Your videos always inspire me and motivate me to go out and photograph
So happy to hear! Good luck on your next outing!
Wow the way the snow fleas are filmed makes it look so 3D/like they're actually crawling on my monitor
loved seeing the snow buntings come in. Noticed them for the first time this winter in Southern Ontario, right where you said 'along the highway'.
That’s awesome! I’ve heard of some crazy big flocks moving through Ontario sometimes. Would love to see a big group like that sometime
He deserves millions of subs...
Very kind, thank you!
Your channel is more enjoyable than some Documentaries from the TV
You’re literally living my dream life, and as jealous as I am I hope you get more species and more attention because you truly deserve it.
Go live the life we always wanted to and keep up the good work ❤
Thank you Stefano, for your tireless cultivation of consciousness. And thank you also for your beautiful and emotive camera work, an absolute feast for the senses !
Sue and Michael Australia 💜🦘🕉
All these shots are so good! You sir, have a specialty for taking photos and videos
Thanks so much!
I love your love of nature. You're like Snow Whites younger brother.
Thanks so much!!
I like it before watching, because all the videos on this channel are just incredible!
Evening grosbeak is a very beautiful bird.
Agreed!
I’m so excited for whatever spring gives you! Good luck!
Thank you!
I'm so thankful for people like you ☺ feeding a sparrow family on my balcony since years 🐦 they housing above the gutter next to my room in a city hightower 😄 they love bio golden millet over all and eat a lot of theme in winter 😋
New to this channel and it is slowly becoming a favorite. You are helping me find my love for birds again. Thank you.
just wanted to say thank you for these videos. Seeing how much you care for all the local animals is amazing, your videos are so calming and wholesome. I wish to live in a place like that at some point in my life.
This is wowwwww😤💞
So excited for the spring!
Same here!!
I was thrilled to see a notification from your channel today. Magnificent! Excited for your future videos. Thanks again for all the details and wonderful footage you provide.
Thanks so much for watching!
Happy to see someone so kind to wildlife. Looking forward to spring. We're just warming up :D.
I can't believe the amount of snow you had a month ago. Insane.
i love it, nice to see someone care about nature
Glad you enjoy!
This channel is the best wild life channel I have ever seen👍
My cat recognizes your voice and hops up to watch each video closely.
Your passion can be felt watching the video and I find that so wholesome, great videos thank you❤
Thanks for watching!
Truely captivating content! Thanks for sharing!😊
Stefano,
Everyday must seem like Christmas when something new appears outside your windows or on camera. It's always a treat to catch the lastest homestead video! Thank you!
Definitely! Thanks so much for watching
Snow fleas!!! I’ve never heard of them. Spring is right around the corner so I will keep an eye out for them while on my walk with my doggo. Thanks 🙏🏼
Your incredible work is making me feel like I should try to create a small backyard oasis for native species in my area. Thank you for providing such lovely content!
9:37 I think they can teleport :)
Haha it definitely seems that way. 5x and 10x slow motion isn’t even close to being slow enough to catch them springing.
The production on your videos are appreciated! Can’t wait to see all the wild plants too!
This is my favorite channel of all time
I love watching your content please keep uploading man the videos make me so happy watching them 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much!
Watching your progress is fascinating. I appreciate your educational articulation. Just great stuff. (Judy)
Thanks so much!!
11:05 THE WINGS ARE SOO PRETTYY
Youre amazing for saving it!
Stefano’s thinking and his love for creating safe habitats for animals is something that I really like
Just discovered you a week ago and I'm here to stay. Absolutely love your kind work, beautiful Videography and sense of humour. I'd be glad if I could do something like this one day.
So happy to hear, thank you for watching!
Your films are always so enjoyable. Great wildlife content presented brilliantly. Looking forward to seeing what happens on your new property this year.
Very glad you're enjoying them, thank you for the support!
