[@helenbroussard9388]

So enjoyable for all the explanations. I love your videos. I will subscribe. Thank you I live in Louisiana and have many birdhouse gourds I purchased. Thank you 🥰🥰👩‍🌾👩‍🌾

Best KZbin channel opening. Ever. 👏

[@emilysgarden]

Thank you!!!!

[@brendabear1379]

Very nice, Emily. Love your garden house and the flowers also.

[@goodgodgobblers72]

FYI, you shouldn't put pegs on your birdhouses, pegs allow predictor bird to stand on & reach in to the eggs & chicks.

I thought I was back in Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.

[@lcostantino7931]

Me too LOL

[@mu99ins]

@@lcostantino7931 - I couldn't remember this video, since it's been years, now, since I watched it. I believe I lost patience with it because of the ambience of the presentation...she has a slight New York accent, so maybe she's from Tarry Town in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow...but I digress. I thought she had good tips for the beginner birdhouse maker and gourd grower, which I'm guilty of the charge. I've grown gourds, and should now pick them up from the yard and put them in a dry place to cure. Later, I'll drill the holes, collect the seeds and make bird houses.

Love the theme song❤😊

I want to lobby for the tiny, neighborhood birds. I've just spent 7 months with a wild bird who roosted in my broken forced air heater. The entrance to the heater box was very small. It was just a 2 bent louvers on the side of the heater box. That is a very small opening. That tiny bird found the entrance and announced it's presence, " tweet ! ". I didn't know it at the time, but we were nest mates. That entrance existed for months before that bird found it. I estimate that the bird felt safe in that box. It was a unique setup, almost like a science experiment where all variables are controlled. Certainly, predator birds we too big to enter the box. The bird felt safe, and so , with nothing else to do, it listened to me, including bathroom visits. It listened to me from when I woke up in the morning until after I went to sleep. The bird would listen to me as I laid in bed, and if I scratched or turned over, the bird would tweet. If I yawned, it would tweet. I tried yawning silently, and it could hear that, too. It didn't take long before the bird discovered music, and that really changed things. Long story. The upshot of this is that tiny birds are smart, and they pay attention, hunt at night, and have reflexes so quick as to make me think that these birds are able to catch insects on the fly. The bird understood and was interested in human emotion. It identified human emotion on both TV shows and You Tube videos. In short, these no account tiny birds may be the intellectuals of the neighborhood. So, set up a bird house with a small hole for the tiny birds. You might not ever see them, since they hide during the day. And when you're sitting in your garden or porch, play a recording of any solo instrument, like wooden flute, or harp, or piano, or guitar, or even pure percussion solos, and see if any birds are listening.

It's Sandy and William ,we came to see you and were told you no longer work there.Would love to see what you are doing now?

[@kimberleyneff3672]

Great video. You are very calming to listen to. What type of paint? Enamel? Latex? Outdoor I would think...also what makes them all so shiny? Polyurethane? Thanks for any responce back. I grew my own gourds last year & had a great harvest in s.w. Arizona. Thanks again

[@anaesquivel7131]

Gracias 😊

[@SugarBeeFarm]

Very informative. Thank you 💕✌️🌱

[@elizabethcartner2005]

A beautiful demonstration thank you

[@emilysgarden]

Thank you for watching:)

[@bridgidfernandez8006]

Thank you Emily this was great info... God Bless you Abundantly....

[@glendalynnejanacek7558]

6 to 8 inches long? I would be afraid the BB birds would get tangled up in them. .

[@RealBradMiller]

Great show, Emily. Fantastic personality and good tips! These gourds pop up all over my yard, so I am gonna go make about forty of these! :) Happy Holidays

[@brodyodin141]

i know I am pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to stream newly released series online ?

[@andyquincy838]

@Brody Odin I use FlixZone. Just google for it :)

[@andersonbranson4447]

@Brody Odin Lately I have been using Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@AZskylite]

So much fun! Charming hut too.

[@johnjude2685]

The audio is ruff but I like the contant so informational. Thanks great video

[@MsGcourtney]

FYI the perch is a bad idea. USA native birds do not use them only the predators use perches to kill the baby birds

[@helpfultips1533]

I like Emile’s garden

[@mysticpluck8]

Perches are not needed and only attract predators. Birds DO NOT need perches.

[@konnorpratt6466]

I've been there!

[@CathyRobitaille]

What did you use for that red finish (ink, paint, dye?) ? Its beautiful

[@anaesquivel7131]

Gracias

[@claudettemonty4077]

Does your paint a oily or water base??

[@suzumec6735]

Hi Emily ! Where can I Buy this Bird House Gourd Seeds ? . Thank You

[@charmeiners3607]

Do you treat the gourds with anything? I've read they should be soaked in wood preservative or copper sulfate mixed with warm water.

[@emilysgarden]

I never have treated them with anything. I do let them dry in a cool dry place away from sunlight (my cellar) throughout the winter. They are sanded by hand or with a sander attachment (fine grade sandpaper) they will last quite a long while after painted and may be varnished. Thanks for watching!

[@wenpingzhang149]

if i were bird, i prefer that wooden house!

[@j.nicoledorflinger2672]

Wow! That is so sweet

[@lisajarvis3820]

What kind of paint and glue?

[@emilysgarden]

wood glue for the perches but I must add many people cautioned after I posted this video, not to add perches. You can scroll down to read the comments. The paint can be anything that will weather outside. Thanks for watching!

[@brplatten1273]

6 to 8 niches is to long for the nest 1 to 1 1\2 is ideal the birds can't get it wrapped around their necks baby bird woke end up choking itself to death on a longer string or yarn

[@smoressquad5815]

I subscribed

[@RayleneG679]

My gourds are drying but ht ave dark splotches of mold

[@foster3316]

That's normal. Mold helps drying and curing.

[@j.nicoledorflinger2672]

I have you post of my Pinterest and my Twitter

[@mommyoftrips]

This is just like Today's Special, and you sound like Jodi.....

[@AZskylite]

Have you dusted the inside with food quality DE? Would safely kill avian mites.

[@shellbell9657]

Can't see anything to far from the camera

[@smoressquad5815]

Emily's what u full name

[@davidcavanaugh9398]

You need to wear a mask. Gourd dust isn't good to breathe in.

[@MarcellaSmithVegan]

Camera too far, can't see what you are talking about

[@Marny5580]

Watching you I see a bit of unsafe methods. As for perches - I watched a large bird just grab a baby bird right out of the hole - without standing on a perch.

[@evelynruhnke5957]

Gourd farm

[@deaeni2]

Mm

[@anniesmiles1122]

Please do not feed birds bread. EVER! Also please do not put out string. It can twist around birds legs, beaks, and feathers. You can buy nest fluff from different sites.

[@susanburdett290]

It would have been a good video if we could see iit

[@cheryl8280]

Susan Burdett Judging from all the other commenters, You seem to be the only one who can't "see" the video. Have you yet figured out what the problems was?

[@Marny5580]

@@cheryl8280 Close-up views would be nice, for a tutorial. And I have 20/20 vision.

[@cheryl8280]

Marny5580 I wasn't trying to be a smart mouth, just wondering if you solved your problem. I had no trouble seeing it and was just curious as to why you were unable to. I suppose not everything has to be commented on. Sorry if you took this one the wrong way.

[@moonbeamer4468]

Camera needs to be closer. Playing with your hair is distracting.

[@TheRose0411]

You talk to much
