I work in landscaping, and I have found that pheobes tend to get very close when I'm on the job. I think they somehow associated people doing yard work with food, because pulling back undergrowth and debris will uncover soil, and- by proxy. Bugs. They'll wait for me to finish what I'm doing and hang around the spot I was in. Really cool!

Where we live, we have many squirrels in our yard. How can we get wrens to nest but keep them safe from squirrels and other predators?

The coolest thing I ever saw: I was doing the dishes and there were some spider webs outside and I see a wasp struggling in one of the webs. The spider comes over to investigate and the wasp jumps up and stings the spider, picks him up and flies away with him.

Still watch this and it's still funny even at 5 in the morning.

I’m a birds lover & buying big bags from Costco but from now on feel like to go to a birds food store to feed more authentic food for winged friends, Thanks!

Thank you! This is my first year feeding the birds and I’m in heaven. At the moment my feeder is super tall and has a baffle to keep the squirrels off, but I love the cage type feeder you showed. Could my very well fed (read: so chonky) cardinals and eastern bluebirds fit in there? I’d lower my feeder if I knew the squirrels couldn’t reach the food.

I use window feeders because I can easily fill and clean them from inside my kitchen.

Tell them Randy, some people are just dumb and some are even dumber. Randy knows what he is talking about, He can't slam a basketball but he know what he's talking about. Great video Randy thanks keep them coming.

I love wheel bugs! Thank you for clarifying that Chagas is a species-specific issue; I'm glad that wheelbugs don't fall in that category.

I must have Milo, the bird, raccoon and possum aren’t eating it

Thanks for the info on milo--I looked at the sack of seed I have which is Best Choice brand from Homeland and it lists these unspecified grains--certainly I have a lot of red seeds left behind on the ground. To be fair this brand does have a lot of other seed, including the white millet, but may do some shopping around. Just for some info on milo which caught my eye, when I was working on my graduate degrees in history, which was the history of agricultural modernization in the early 1900s, I came across the early extension services and university agriculturalists introducing milo and other grains from Africa that were more drought tolerant to this part of the country. Milo was called by them "milo maize" but it is actually a sorghum that is grown in southern Africa--the name is derived from the Sesotho language. In Africa, this and other grains are used by people for food, but also cattle feed, the original reason for bringing it to this country. But there were attempts to sell it to the consumer via newspaper articles, recipes for using milo maize and other grains that were brought from Africa. This never caught on, but it is just to show that during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there was a lot of communication between agricultural scientists in the US and Mexico (my focus) and colonial Africa on things such as dry farming techniques and crops that would grow better in areas prone to drought. Milo is one remnant, I don't know how much it is grown here now. Why birds don't like it I don't know, but they don't.

The way the camera shook when you put the seed on the table 🤣

Great video! I love winter birds!

Your photography was excellent. I had never seen the bright colors at base of the bill so well in the wild.

I love that tail-pumping.

They are killer machince for spiders

Aha, i saw them "turning off" their red throats in a video so i wanted to find out why hehe

Amazing the larvae saves the vital organs for last. the fact that evolution does that is incredible.

Omg. Your intro is awesome! “Please subscribe anyway.” Super creative. I love it. Also, Great video! Thank you.

Awesome footage. Thanks!

Another great video Randy thanks.

What an awesome video ♥️

lol the ending got me. Okay okay it was just pushy enough to not be annoying but also hit that line where it was funny. Dammit man I’ll sub

This guy apparently doesn't know they cause Chagas disease in humans. Untreated in its early stages can lead to chronic issues and death later on.

So kewl

Dude you had fun with this, been trying to study the designs of paper wasps for a bit to convey into art and ngl, this helped. Appreciate you and the video dude, thank you.

love your videos

I've seen them do that to snag a f!y

parasteatoda tepidariorum are almost the same size as a widow spider

So funny that you describe the exact same behaviour I observed with my spider in the bathroom. I keep wondering how it survives there as I have very little (none?) insects in my bathroom. But everytime I take a shower the spider gets active and crawls up and down the humid tiles or hangs in the air apprently absorbing moisture from the air around it. How interesting that you saw that too! Does it help the spider to survive longer without food, what do u reckon?...

Awesome & informative video! I have a ton in my house but I actually don’t mind them since they keep the bug count down! I love handling them especially the tiny babies. They are so cute and harmless. Sweet 8 legged friends!

0:25 taking down an assassination bug twice it's size it amazing

I just saw my very first Eastern Phoebe. He/She perched herself on my deck singing as loud as she could. But I chuckled as you said you’ve never seen one eat a worm. As I was observing her, I watched her pop off the deck onto the ground and come back up with a worm in her beak! 😂❤

I know a scary girl sung the itsy bitsy spider

Why do mud daubers get eaten by birds

In the other photo was a huntsman spider

The rusty spider wasp hunts wolf spiders and related fishing spiders that was your mistake

Poor spiders

We're gearing up for our first Big Year and I appreciate your emphasis on keeping it simple and fun. Need to define our region and our goals, but I'm mainly looking forward to seeing lots of birds!

Thank you for the up-close view of such lovely spiders. I'm enjoying watching your channel grow!

How lovely that she gets to start the video by directing Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #4. She's definitely a beauty.

I have a corn spider that has been hanging out on my front porch ceiling. It’s starting to get cold at night and the early in the morning. I live in Ohio I’ve noticed that when it is colder out, the spider gets closer to the porch ceiling and seems to make itself almost look shrunken. Then when it warms up during the day, it gets back to doing its thing. I am wondering if I could make a habitat for it to live in during our winter and how I could provide food? It is a beautiful spider and I enjoy the zig zag part of its web.

Found a frog at ikea in NYC!!! So I’m trying to give him a good life

I found your videos through the article you wrote when I searched to find out about my little bathroom spider. 😂 I found her a few months ago and named her Little Mama. She just spun her 3rd brood the other day! It took me forever to figure out what she was lol I'm letter her be to do her own thing but is there any advice on how I could make sure she has her best life?

how come you guys are seeing bold jumping spiders everywhere but i cant even find one ):

One just bit me 😢

Wow I really like this video thank you so much I love you and the spiders (I don’t love the old ball and chain though 😅😅😅) 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮😅😅😅

Excellent video!!! I have quite a few nests around my house, I never kill them or remove the nests. Less of other annoying bugs around. Between wasps and spiders, pretty much bug free around my house haha.

You remember the triangle shaped smoking windows that trucks you to have in front of the regular side window? Have a red wasp come through that B---H and hit you in the neck stinger first at about 75-80mph... I bet you hate em then!

I'm here for it because you aren't AI! Great stuff man!
